- Not to be confused with Poison Trap.
The Poison Gas Trap (DK1[1] and DK2[2]) or Gas Trap (DK2[3]) is a basic trap in Dungeon Keeper and Dungeon Keeper 2 that releases toxic vapours when activated.
Dungeon Keeper[]
The Poison Gas Trap emits a cloud of toxic gas which drains the health of anything near it. The Gas Trap can be used five times before it needs replacing. You won’t have to put down another trap; your Imps automatically go to the Workshop, take a Gas Trap and restore the old one to full. Remember that the poisoned gas can hurt your own creatures if they inhale it.
To manufacture the Poison Gas Trap, your Workshop must be made up of at least ten squares.
If an Imp triggers this trap, it won't be killed instantly. If you are paying close attention, you have time to rescue the Imp. Once the gas has dissipated, the Imp can try to capture the tile again.
Bile Demons, undead creatures (Skeletons, Vampires, and Ghosts), Wizards, and Fairies are immune to poison gas.
The Mushroom Trap is possibly an early version of this trap. The 'Gas Cloud' trap is also possibly an early version of this; however, it killed on contact, making it similar to the Boulder Trap.[4]

Dungeon Keeper 2[]
The Gas Trap is the first trap the player receives in the campaign.
In universe it deals unique non-physical, biological damage. The same visual effect as the farts of the Bile Demon.
Tips[]
- Starts out concealed.
- Cheap and fast to build.
- Best used in locations where enemies are bound to step on them. In tight corridors, or in front of longer range traps, even separated by a Barricade that fills a hole in a wall (may be a great choice to place in front of a Barricade), perhaps near a Guard Room.
- Doesn't use mana to fire.
- It might be useful to note that Bile Demons, Skeletons, and Vampires are NOT immune to this trap.
Bugs[]
- The health flower may not always appear when hovering over them with the Hand of Evil.
Trivia[]
- Firefly, Fairy, and Vampire in Change into Bat form cannot trigger it but may be hurt by it if others trigger it.
- Horny and Stone Knights are immune, as expected.
