Poison Damage is a special type of damage that is only available in a few specific cases. In addition to the damage it does, poison heavily obscures your vision for a few seconds.

Normally, poison resistance only applies to damage done by poisoned weapons (even if it's a non-damaging poison). But there are a few sources of damage that are specifically "poison" and not any particular element. They are as follows:

• The Ebony Mail artifact automatically applies a Poison Cloak effect, which damages all enemies within melee range, similar to the various Cloak spells in the Destruction school. (This spell can actually be cast as a regular spell if you give it to yourself via the console: player.addspell f23c8.)
• The ranged attacks of frostbite spiders and chaurus do poison damage, as do the weapons of some Falmer.
• Dart traps do poison damage to anyone they hit.
• Poison blooms^DG will release a cloud of poisonous gas if not harvested immediately. Spiddal Stick^CC reacts to your approach the same way.
• The Dragonborn add-on adds a spell in the Restoration school called Poison Rune, which does poison damage to all targets within range when it's set off.
• The Mora's Agony power added by Dragonborn, found in the Black Book: The Hidden Twilight, does poison damage. Miraak's Staff also produces this effect, and Miraak's Robes may cause a similar effect when the wearer is hit.
• Poison Spiders^DB inflict poison damage.

Notes

• Vampires are 100% immune to poison.
• Additionally, Bosmer and Redguards are 50% resistant to poison.
