This is a poison greatly favored by
Matron Mothers for use in their
torture chambers. Brewed from the venom
of the *ghostyk*, a strange insectoid creature that resembles a praying
mantis, it
attacks the central nervous system,
rendering its victim completely
incapable of movement, though fully
capable of feeling pain.
Why it should be so prized by the drow
should be obvious.
Note that this is a biological, not
magical or terror-induced effect:
elves are fully susceptible.
