'''Ostanalus gas''' is a powerful [[Drugs|necrotoxic contact poison]]. In most species it typically causes fatal tissue decay. [[Kig-Yar]] are not affected by its release in the air, but consuming those that have died from exposure to it is still avoided. There is no known counteragent for ostanalus.<ref name="R4">''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', ''Chapter 4''</ref>

==History of use==
On [[2553#December|December 13, 2553]], the [[Kig-Yar]] of [[Rach clan]] aboard the [[Mudoat starsloop]] ''[[Stolen Faith]]'' attempted to kill the [[Ferret]] team led by [[Veta Lopis]] with ostanalus. The casualness with which the crew treated the whole affair suggested to Veta that they had done this before. Unbeknownst to the crew, the [[human]]s had seen the betrayal coming, and the canisters containing the gas were switched out for harmless substitutes ahead of time.<ref name="R6">''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', ''Chapter 6''</ref> Later that day, the Ferrets used the gas against members of the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] that boarded the ship.<ref name="R8">''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', ''Chapter 8''</ref>
