Envenomating Attack Japanese もうどく攻撃 Rōmaji Mōdoku kōgeki Type Skill

Envenomating Attack is a recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series. It is an enhanced version of Poison Attack that launches a strike that deals the same amount of damage as a normal attack and has a chance to envenomate a target, dealing a portion of their max HP in damage each turn.
