Poison is one of the six damage types in Diablo II, and one of the four elemental ones.
Rather than instamtly doing damage, poison will do damage over a set period of time. This effect, known as being poisoned, can be cured with an antidote. Poison cannot kill the player, merely leave them with a single point of life. It can, however, kill a player's mercenary.
The Necromancer has many poison skills availiable to him, as does the Assassin.
Unique Monsters who posses the poison enchanted modifier, will do poison damage with each attack.
