👉 A habitat weapon, also known as a bio-weapon or bioweapon, is a biological agent or toxin that can be used to harm humans, animals, or plants. Unlike traditional chemical or nuclear weapons, habitat weapons are designed to exploit the natural environment and living organisms for their destructive effects. These can include pathogens like bacteria, viruses, or fungi that thrive in specific ecological niches, as well as toxins produced by living organisms. Habitat weapons can be disseminated through air, water, or soil, and they often target the local flora and fauna, disrupting ecosystems and causing widespread damage. The use of such weapons is highly regulated due to their potential for indiscriminate harm and the difficulty in containing their spread.
