venomous creatures
Bite-injecting wildlife species
Venomous creatures are animals that inject toxins through bites, stings, or spines—snakes, spiders, scorpions, certain fish, and jellyfish among them.
The term distinguishes them from poisonous creatures, which are harmful when touched or eaten.
The guidebook warned hikers about venomous creatures in the desert.
Figuratively, venomous describes anything malicious or spiteful.
