Poison Isn't my favourite status ailment, but it is my favourite ailment that the hunter can use. As a completely solo hunter, sleep is useless to me. Paralysis can be useful sometimes but I don't have much luck with it. The constant damage poison offers, meanwhile, is quite appealing to me plus I like the effects it has.

Yian Garuga, Chameleos, Rathian and Gigginox are some of my favourite monsters that use poison, but Baruragaru also looks very promising despite how little I've seen of it.

Favourite poison weapons? Well, in MHFU, the Yian Garuga lance and its upgrades helped me greatly all throughout the game, and ChameleosDualBlades are some of my favourite weapons to use. In MH3U, the Gigginox Lance and Dual Blades were very useful as well.

How to improve Poison? Well, severe poison from MHFU should return. Making your life trickle away even faster certainly adds to the dread of fighting a monster.
