A hint about green dragons and burning foliage; green dragons' breath weapon is a cone of corrosive gas and corrosive substances do cause chemical burns in living tissue.
In case of metals, corrosion (read: rust) is none other than slow oxidation (unless I'm mistaken) and fire gnawing through wood (burning) is fast oxidation.
So our resident dracologists may wish to roll Craft (Alchemy) to see if they follow the recent discoveries of that science
EDIT: "poison" is also a good term, it's just that the mechanics of this particular poison are based on corrosion, as compared to other poisons causing paralysis, hypotonia, haemophilia or accelerated coagulation, to name a few. There's a brief video about poisons in one of the Game of Thrones seasons, maybe Season 5, that explains how various poisons work in that setting. Below is a spoiler for the series, not for this game.
I believe most of that info can be found here as well, just in case you're interested.
