A Kastaba
The kastaba was a small poisonous bronze toad. Just holding the toad in one's hands would cause extreme pain and precipitate a weakening of the individual's constitution. If he or she wiped his or her eyes with an infected digit, the individual would have become blind. The secretions of the kasataba could be used to make a paste that would kill if placed on a sword edge or an arrow point. If the victim did not die from the poison, he or she would fall into a coma and be permanently blind upon awakening.
