Line 54:
* Harkeness in ''[[The Grimnoir Chronicles|Hard Magic]]'' is a Pale Horse, and can inflict people with disease. He has complete control over his power, but that doesn't stop Stuyvesant from being completely paranoid about him.
* ''Raptor'' by Gary Jennings set in the declining Roman empire has a venefica. Veneficas are defined as "girl slaves who are, fed certain poisons, in increasing doses throughout their upbringing. By the time they are grown to maidenhood, their own bodies are accustomed to these substances and are unharmed by them. However, so virulent is the accumulated poison, that a man who beds with a venefica - or anyone who partakes of any of her juices - dies on the instant."
* When under stress, the Chelons from the [[Star Trek Novel Verse]] secrete a poison through their skin. Ambassador Jetanien of [[Star Trek: Vanguard]] explains this to his Klingon diplomatic counterpart in order to warn him off; another Chelon posthumously kills a Hirogen hunter with his poison in [[Star Trek Destiny]].
