Place the object under `traits` in a fluid-property file.

## Fields

| `entries.kind` | direct_damage or effects. | |
| `entries.damage` | Damage-type ID for direct_damage. | |
| `entries.amount` | Base damage for direct_damage. | finite `f32` |
| `entries.delay` | Ticks between direct-damage applications; 0 applies every tick. | `i32` |
| `entries.effects` | Vanilla mob-effect instances for effects. | |
| `entries.hazard` (Optional) | Protection class that blocks the toxin. | |

>
> `hazard` takes an upper-case [protection class](https://movblock.mov/ntm-next/wiki/fluid-traits.md#value-names) such as `GAS_LUNG`. An entry without `hazard` cannot be blocked by protection.

> **since NTM 1.0.4**
