Prickle Rabbit

Rabbits native to the southern planes of Fódlan. There horns excrete a little bit of poison, so many thieves collect and breed them, then killed them to harvest the poison.

You can use the poison in this vial to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or up to three pieces of Ammunition. Applying the poison takes an action. A creature hit by the Poisoned weapon or Ammunition must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or take 1d4 poison damage. Once applied, the poison retains potency for 1 minute before drying. (Prickle Rabbit antivenom can be found with most apothecary.)
The bunnies are dimorphic meaning males and females look very distinct. Male are purple and tend to produce more excrete more poison. They are generally more aggressive and territorial. Female are a light shade of blue, and tend to be more docile except for right after giving birth to a litter.
Poison can be extracted right after the bunnies are 2 months. In order to bread the rabbits must be at least 5 months old.

Anatomy

Prickle Rabbits are small, furry mammals with long ears, short fluffy tails, and strong, large hind legs. They have 2 pairs of sharp incisors (front teeth), one pair on top and one pair on the bottom. They also have 2 peg teeth behind the top incisors. Their teeth are specifically adapted for gnawing and grow continuously throughout their lives. In addition they have a horn about 3 inches long that secretes poison when the creature is agitated.
Their horns are primarily a defense mechanism they have gained through adaptation. When agitated their fur will go for soft to spiky similar to a porcupine.
Their front paws have 4 claws each.These rabbit can reach speeds of 80ft (40ft normally) when dashing. Young rabbits prefer to walk instead of hop.
