Description
Fang: *as he further squeezes the helpless dragon, one of Rae's venomous barbs punctures Fang's scales, within a matter of seconds his vision became blurred and his body numb, immune to the toxin to the point of it not being harmful to him, but the adverse affects beginning to take over*Related content

Poison and Venom are pretty hard to distinguish, but looking it up...
The terms poison and venom are often used interchangeably, but they actually have very different meanings. It is the delivery method that distinguishes one from the other.
Poison is absorbed or ingested; a poisonous animal can only deliver toxic chemicals if another animal touches or eats it.
Venom, on the other hand, is always injected. Every venomous animal has a mechanism to inject toxins directly into another animal. Stab with tails. Slash with spines. Pierce with fangs or stings. Spike with spurs. Shoot with harpoons. Chew with teeth.
For example, frogs are usually poisonous while snakes are usually venomous.
So in the case of my wyvern's barbs, it'd be venomous since it has to get into the bloodstream for it to take effect - merely touching his barbs wouldn't affect you.
