Native Americans extract the deadly poison from the skin of these frogs and use it on their arrows or blow gun darts to quickly bring down game. In most animals, it could bring it down in seconds!The Poison Dart Frog is a perfect example of a classic Hegelian Misnomer. The native Ast'lani name for the frog was kichu'i which was extremely similar to their word for "arrow" "point", hichu'a. These arrows were often tipped with natural plant toxins. When the Spanish arrived, the words were conflated in their understanding, leading to the name that we currently use.
Poison Dart Frogs do not shoot their poison. They are named Dart Frogs because natives in South America used to use them to make the tips of their arrows poisonous.
