Poison Gamin

Poison Gamin are creatures that appear in Wyrd Games' Malifaux universe.

Description
Humanoid creatures standing a little over the waist height of an average human. They have a barbed tail resembling that of a scorpion. Poison gamin are elemental beings formed out of the essence of poison. Their essence is the source of their danger. Physically they are not especially strong, but only touching them or even breathing the air in their immediate closeness exposes humans to deadly toxins. To make matters worse, they are able to deliver their lethal payload via spitting a glob of venom to considerable distances.

History
Traditionally poison gamin are summoned by Arcanist mages in near vicinity of toxic compounds and poisonous areas. When summoning poison gamin, extra caution is adviced as these creatures may be harmful for their controller. It's quite rare for poison gamin to manifest spontaneously, as opposed to, for example, Wind Gamin.
