A Toxin Grenade is a type of grenade used by both the military forces of the Imperium and the forces of Chaos that emits a lethal cloud of chemical gas that can be absorbed via the skin or when breathed in. Highly poisonous, Toxin Grenade gas is essentially fatal to most forms of organic life, though it has no effect on the bioforms of the Tyranids. Toxin Grenades are a favoured weapon of the Death Guard Traitor Legion.
