Strong acid is also extremely poionous to breathe, so the air would be fatal long before its first victim could fall into it, unless it was from a substantial height; and even then it would have a substantial stench even from a great distance, which would drive anyone away if they had a choice.

The pool filled with HollywoodAcid is the go-to DeathTrap for any MadScientist that doesn't have access to a LavaPit - usually bubbling a sickly green color, it will melt the flesh of your bones and leave nothing but a bleached skeleton, if that. Can be used both for moats near precarious bridges and lowering heroes into. Acid pools are generally treated as green variants of the LavaPit and used in a similar manner as obstacles or execution methods.
