Conjures forth a great cloud of lethal gases.

Poisonous Cloud is a monster-only spell that creates several clouds of poisonous gasses at a point within range. The spell also does a small amount of impact poison damage -- while poison resistance completely protects creatures from the clouds this spell generates, the initial impact damage may still poison targets that aren't completely immune to poison.

The following enemies cast Poisonous Cloud:

q Draconian monk (3d10 damage)
D Golden dragon (3d11 damage)
2 Green death (3d9 damage)
d Green draconian (3d9 damage)
D Swamp dragon (3d7 damage)

The following enemies may be able to cast Poisonous Cloud, depending on their spell set:

& Pandemonium lord (3.4% chance)
d Tiamat (3d13 damage, 16.7% chance)
