Poison is a status condition that deals damage over time. It is usually a percent of the user's damage stat and the time depends on how it was inflicted. This ability will continue to run even if the character is tagged out. Poison will nullify any healing or regeneration on the character poisoned. The symbol represents a vial of poison with the skull and crossbones on it.
