Shoosuva
Harvesting Table
Instructions: Because this creature is an
Fiend, 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:
Shoosuva Fur (small pouch)
DC:
5
Shoosuva fur is mangy and disease ridden. The fur has a strong odor that makes animals more aggressive and violent.
Use: If a beast with an Intelligence score of 4 or less comes within 10 feet of the fur, and can smell it, it must succeed a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw or become berserk. While berserk, the beast spends each of its turns moving toward the closest creature and attacking it, if possible. The beast remains berserk for 1 minute or until it becomes unconscious. A creature that the beast is normally friendly with can spend an action to make a DC 15 Wisdom (Animal Handling) check. On a success, the effect ends. A beast that has had the effect end, or who succeeds its initial saving throw, is immune to the effect of this item for 24 hours.

ITEM:
Shoosuva Spike
DC:

ITEM:
Shoosuva Heart
DC:
15
A shoosuva's heart is a black mass of flesh, about the size of a volleyball. Even after it is removed, the heart beats when it comes within 30 feet of fresh blood or raw meat.
VALUE:
100 gp
WEIGHT:
10lb.
EXPIRE:

CRAFT: Yeenoghu's Boon (HHH2)
DC:
20
ITEM:
Shoosuva Poison Gland
DC:
20
A shoosuva's tail has a large poisonous stinger on the end. A skilled harvester can attempt to dissect the stinger and remove the poison gland.
Proficiency with the poisoner kit may be used for harvesting this gland. On a successful check, the character harvests the creature's poison gland that must be refined before producing 1 dose of Yeenoghu's Sting (see below). On a failed check, the character is unable to extract the poison gland. If the character fails the check by 5 or more, the character is subjected to the creature's sting.
Refining the Poison: Once the gland is extracted, an alchemist (or someone proficient in the poisoner's kit) can spend 6 hours and 100gp worth of material to create Yeenoghu's Sting (DC 16 Poisoner Kit or Alchemist Supplies check).
Yeenoghu's Sting (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. Yeenoghu's Sting is slightly stronger than Carrion Crawler Mucus. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned. While poisoned, the target is also paralyzed. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on success. This poison usually sells for 250gp, but the poison is often considered an illicit good (and may not be sold to normal vendors).

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.

Shoosuva
Meat
The meat of many monsters is considered vile and distasteful. Monstrosities and aberrations, in particular, may have tainted blood or rancid tasting meat. Dungeon Master's discretion.
This creature produces 9 pieces of meat, weighing a total of 36 lbs.
Random Roll: 6d6 = 9
Large creatures produce 6d6 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.
