While an enemy sleeps, things such as sharpening, drinking potions, eating meat, or even attacking the sleeping monster can be done. Sleep is also a secondary status effect that can be caused to enemies by the use of weapons or items. Being hit by a monster or another hunter will instantly awaken anything that is sleeping. The effects of sleeping can be increased or decreased with proper armor skills. Some monsters have the potential to put hunters into sleep. This will also disable the Chameleos' invisibility. If an Elder Dragon that has an aura (Daora, Teostra, and Lunastra) is poisoned, its aura will be gone until the poison effect has ended. Poison can be extracted from a monster and implemented into weapons. A monster is poisoned when purple bubbles rise from atop its head. Different monsters are affected differently by it.
