Poison is a status in Final Fantasy X-2 that causes the afflicted to take damage over time; the damage lost per increment is ~3% of max HP. Poison does not wear off after battle. Poison does not tick when under the effects of Stop. The visual indicator is the same as in Final Fantasy X: green bubbles above the afflicted target's head (or body for creatures that lack a distinctive head).
