From what I recall of the story the dragon only had fiery breath - I don't recall poison being mentioned.
breath mints
In the battle between Beowulf and the dragon, Beowulf was fatally wounded by the dragon's fiery breath but managed to kill the dragon with the help of his loyal companion Wiglaf. Beowulf died shortly after the battle, but he was able to secure the kingdom and treasure for his people.
In the epic, Beowulf battles a dragon guarding abandoned treasure. Because he is old, Beowulf is not quick enough to avoid the dragon breath(fire), and is quickly bitten. His trusty companion, Wiglaf, comes to his rescue, and they defeat the dragon together, although Beowulf perishes anyway.
Most Western dragons can fly and usually breath a hurtful substance. The dragon from 'Saint George and the Dragon' breathed tongues of flame, whereas the dragon defeated by Beowulf breathed poisonous fumes.
Wiglaf is the one who guides Beowulf to the dragon's barrow in the epic poem "Beowulf." He accompanies Beowulf in facing the dragon, showing his loyalty and courage in battle.

In the epic poem "Beowulf," the main character Beowulf is ultimately killed by a dragon during their final battle. Beowulf manages to slay the dragon as well, but he is mortally wounded in the process.
When Beowulf stumbled and fell, Grendel's mother whipped out a large knife and tried to stab him in the shoulder. The chain-mail caused the knife to slip to the side and saved Beowulf's life.
he bit through the dragon scales with his golden tooth given to him by Jiekabash and torn the dragon into several pieces. "gnawing into the dragons flesh Beowulf quickly killed the dragon"
