Is there a good catch all term for things like pollution, acid, plague, venom, disease, virus, radiation, etc? It just doesn't feel right to name it Poison.

And some of them do have one name - Mutagens (radiation, pollution, usually vibration, viruses and some poisonous materials like petrol)

You can't name elements adjectives
I just wish the word corruption rolled of the tongue more
Benjamin Ross
Blight and Rot are probably your best bets. I prefer Rot; Blight feels more passive and long-term while Rot is more active and immediate IMO.

Decay sounds better
Isaac Baker
Scourge
Seriously

Ruin

Henry Roberts
How about Toxin, then?
Christopher Lewis
I think Plague works rather well, whether it's diseases, pollution or radiation.
Logan Ramirez
Acid isnt a toxin. Pollution isnt a toxin. Disease isnt (necessarily) a toxin
No it doesn't. Same as Pestilence. Too specific.
Refers specifically to air/smell. Same as stank.
It has to be one of the vague ones:
Corruption
Scourge
Bane
Decay

Elijah Gutierrez
Why merge acid and venom in there? Without them you could say filth damage. I prefer acid and venom to be their own elements.
Alexander Perez
>what is one single concise word that encompasses harmful radiation, biological disease, polution, and chemical acids, and magical/esoteric badness
I guess Harm
Levi Rogers
even if scientifically these are all unrelated concepts they all share similar thematic motifs.
just like you cant help but associate magma with fire even though it should be more closely related to earth. fire and lava share similar thematic motifs
Kevin Hernandez
Of our city?
Grayson Sanchez
That's just a nother term for Funk.
Zachary Peterson
World of Darkness calls it the Wyrm.
Colton Jackson
Poison, disease, radiation, and the like are all thematically similar, but acid is thematically distinct. It's a rapid corrosion of the body rather than the slow deterioration the others cause.
The only reason they're thematically related is because acid and poison are both poisonous liquids, but that goes out the window when you add in disease, radiation, and the like.
Lucas Wright
workplace hazardous materials
John Gutierrez
Ruin is pretty good.
Decay isn't bad either.
Blake Perry

Spoiling seems fitting.
