A typical datura bomb

Ezio: "What about these poison bombs? How lethal are they?"

Piri: "Quite lethal, dostum (my friend). We distill our poison from the datura plant. A pretty little flower with a deadly secret. This one kills... slowly but surely. Be very careful, for your sake and for others'."

—Piri Reis to Ezio, about datura bombs.

Datura bombs were a lethal explosive which could be crafted by the Ottoman Assassins and Ezio Auditore da Firenze during his time in Constantinople. Through the use of a casing filled with gunpowder and datura powder, the bomb would disperse toxic gas upon exploding, poisoning any nearby guards or civilians; as it was quite dangerous, care had to be taken for the latter instance.
