Deathberries

Template:InfoboxDeathberries are bright red berries that look tasty to bears and other animals who are unaware of the danger. They are known as yew berries by humans.

Deathberries are very poisonous and the only known cure is to vomit or eat a special kind of moss that makes the the victim throw up the deathberries. The red skin and flesh of the berry is non-toxic, while the seeds are poisonous.
