Items "Poison berry" Food Item

[Aceplante]

There should be a consumable item that kills you. According to google, Elderberries are poisonous so how about those?

I imagine it could be found on blueberry-like bushes in the corruption, and also when corruption overtakes a blueberry bush.

It would have the tooltip "minor buffs for 2 minutes", but also gradually start dealing increasing damage until the player dies.

Edit: To make this item not completely useless, perhaps it could be cooked into a food item that doesnt kill you?

elderberries are only poisonous when uncooked. which i guess technically would be the case, since all fruits are uncooked in terraria.
what would be the fun in adding a food that just kills you, though? there'd be no reason to collect it.

But as for there being no reason to collect it, perhaps if could be cooked into a food that gives medium saturation for 3 minutes?

red's potion at least gives buffs in FTW, so an actual use for elderberry sounds reasonable.

I am just now realizing that Elderberries are already in the game. How did no one remember? Just call it corrupt berry then? Or bloody berry for the inferior evil?

Items that kill the player aren’t really a good idea. They’re very anti player. Unless this is like a special seed suggestion.

Boulders and Rolling Cacti:
No but in all reality, trolling is in the nature of Terraria, and I do like this idea. Besides, with Elderberries already being in the game from the corruption trees (I believe), why not do this?

Aaaah, I remember having one of these in my "cooking" suggestions! It stated that every bit of meat, fruit, or thing that can be eaten from the Hallow, Crimson, and Corruption would be toxic, and need purified before it could be eaten without killing you!

Ebonkoi, Crimson Tigerfish, Princess Fish, Starfruit, Blood Oranges, Blackcurrant.

Oh, how wonderful it would be if you could make those into "toxic" dishes that poison people who eat them that look exactly like the regular dishes!

I wouldn’t mind if the cooked version was a potion. Maybe it gives 45 seconds of potion sickness, but instead of healing, it gives you 5 seconds of invincibility?

I saw that post. Changing EVERYTHING might be a bit much, but having a single berry like this seems much more likely in my opinion.

I would expect it to be named differently or say so in the tooltip, so players could tell.
