Very interesting discussion (made me sign up!), especially since I have a passion for chemistry myself

You have brought up chlorine due to the green colour and quick (yet not instant) lethality, and abundance. That would fit.
However, the Sligs are unaffected by it - provable in both games. It could be argued that their masks work as gas masks.
But... In the end of Oddysey, you can notice (by dropping into the board room the very last second) that Glukkons are completely immune to the gas as well.

Logic-wise, the gas would probably have to be a very species-specific (in fact, Mudokon-specific) poison.

It is possible however that the devs based their fictional toxic gas on chlorine.
Glad you're interested.

Yes, I do see where you are coming from, but Glukkons are much bigger and look physically tougher than mudokons. Perhaps the chlorine is not quite at a high enough concentration to harm them, or the Glukkons simply are resistant to it.

But on your interesting point about it being specific to mudokons, I do think is likely. The game developers might have based it on the fact that stereotypically, toxic gas is green in colour.

And ten times the ten times amount (20%) would kill you before it has even reached you????
How would it do that? What do you mean by 'reached you'?
