Neogi Master
Harvesting Table
Instructions: Because this creature is an
Aberration, the player should roll a
Arcana Check using the DCs in the table below. On a success, the player is able to harvest the item. On a failure, the item cannot be harvested (either because the character is not skilled enough, or because the item is ruined). The DM should note that many of the items have an expiration, and can not be sold or used after the expiration has passed.

ITEM:
Neogi Venom (vial)
The clear yellow venom of a neogi is used weaken and subjugate potential slaves.
Proficiency with the poisoner kit can be used for harvesting this venom. On a successful check, the character harvests enough vemon for a single dose. On a failed check, the character is unable to extract any venom. If the character fails the check by 5 or more, the character is subjected to the creature's poison.
Refining the Poison: Once the venom is extracted, an alchemist (or someone proficient in the poisoner's kit) can spend 1 day and 250gp worth of material to create Neogi Poison (DC 15 Poisoner Kit or Alchemist Supplies check).
Neogi Poison (Injury): A creature can use an action to coat 1 melee weapon, or 3 pieces of ammunition with this poison. The poison lasts for 1 minute, or until the poison successfully affects a target. A creature successfully hit must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, taking 12 (4d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This poison usually sells for 500gp, but the poison is often considered an illicit good (and may not be sold to normal vendors).

ITEM:
Neogi Eyes (x2)
A neogi's eyes can hypnotize and subdue creatures much larger than themselves. If harvested correctly, the eyes retain trace amounts of the trance-like power, which can be harnessed by other spellcasters and artificers. The eyes can also be used as an ingredient in various charm potions.

DC:

ITEM:
Neogi Egg Sac
The large abdomen of an old master neogi is covered in large, round yellow sacs which house the embryos of neogi hatchlings. If one is careful, an egg sac can be removed intact. Once a single egg sac is removed, the tube that keeps all the sacs alive is cut, and the rest of the eggs wither immediately. A neogi egg sac is forbidden in many lands, since it is believed that a single egg will spawn a swarm of the creatures (untrue). However, spellcasters, researchers and people studying arachnids will certainly pay for such an item.

Most crafting items have an acronym associated with it, such as "DMG". These acronyms refer to specific guide books. For example, "DMG" refers to the "Dungeon Master's Guide". The acronyms for HHH and HHH2 refer to Hamund's Harvesting Handbook, a homebrew harvesting guide that offers a variety of homebrew (not official) magic items.

Meat
The meat of insectiods and arachnids can be nourishing, but are often gamey and tasteless. Some communities frown on eating insect meat (and will only pay half price), while others rely on it. Dungeon Master's discretion.
This creature produces 11 pieces of meat, weighing a total of 44 lbs.
Random Roll: 2d6 = 11
Medium creatures produce 2d6 worth of meat.
The table below shows how much meat an
inexperienced butcher may be able to harvest from a creature, especially after a battle may have ruined some of the meat (i.e. burned, frozen, poisoned, etc.). If a
whole creature's carcass is brought to a butcher, the butcher may pay 4x the value rolled in the chart below for the carcass (if the butcher even WANTS this kind of creature - DM discretion). Of course, carrying a heavy carcass can be difficult, and the creature's bacteria that kept it alive will begin to ruin the meat, spoiling it within a day.

† The weight of a raw piece of meat is 4 pounds. And one slab of meat (4 lbs.), can be used to make 1 dried ration (2 lbs.).
‡ Raw meat has a very short shelf-life, and will go bad within a day if it is not refridgerated or cured.
⋆ The table above uses a standard price of 5cp per pound for regular a piece of animal meat (such as cattle or deer). The value of meat can vary drastically, depending on the quality, rarity and the creature it is sourced from. For example, dragon meat could cost 10x more than standard livestock meat, while insect meat could cost only a copper or two per pound. A DM can decide if that is adequate, and if certain meat is worth more or less.
