Aboleth

Tentacles (1d4)

Worth 350 gold
Harvest DC 25
Can be used as a basic whip. Three can crafted together with Smith Tools into a Tentacle Rod however that is a Drow secret technique.

Made by the drow, this rod is a magic weapon that ends in three rubbery tentacles. While holding the rod, you can use an action to direct each tentacle to attack a creature you can see within 15 feet of you. Each tentacle makes a melee attack roll with a +9 bonus. On a hit, the tentacle deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage. If you hit a target with all three tentacles, it must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature's speed is halved, it has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it can't use reactions for 1 minute. Moreover, on each of its turns, it can take either an action or a bonus action, but not both. At the end of each of its turns, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Mucous

Worth 590 gold
Harvest DC 20
Acts as basic poison. Can be carefully crafted with alchemist’s supplies into a poison called Aboleth’s Bane.
When ingested, a creature must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or become diseased. The disease has no effect for 1 minute and can be removed by any magic that cures disease. After 1 minute, the diseased creature's skin becomes translucent and slimy, the creature can't regain hit points unless it is underwater, and the disease can be removed only by Heal or another disease-curing spell of 6th level or higher. While in this stage of the disease, the creature takes 1d12 acid damage every 10 minutes unless it is submerged in water or has at least two gallons of water poured on its skin.

Bladder

Worth 52 gold
Harvest DC 15
Acts as a waterskin. Can be mastercrafted with leatherworker’s tools into a Decanter of Endless Water, with the additional choice of delivering toxic water on the “Stream” command. The Toxic Water acts as basic poison if ingested.
This stoppered flask sloshes when shaken, as if it contains water. The decanter weighs 2 pounds. You can use an action to remove the stopper and speak one of three command words, whereupon an amount of fresh water or salt water (your choice) pours out of the flask. The water stops pouring out at the start of your next turn. Choose from the following options: "Stream" produces 1 gallon of water. "Fountain" produces 5 gallons of water. "Geyser" produces 30 gallons of water that gushes forth in a geyser 30 feet long and 1 foot wide. As a bonus action while holding the decanter, you can aim the geyser at a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or take 1d4 bludgeoning damage and fall prone. Instead of a creature, you can target an object that isn't being worn or carried and that weighs no more than 200 pounds. The object is either knocked over or pushed up to 15 feet away from you.

You attempt to turn one creature that you can see within range into stone. If the Targets body is made of flesh, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it is Restrained as its flesh begins to harden. On a successful save, the creature isn't affected.
A creature Restrained by this spell must make another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If it successfully saves against this spell three times, the spell ends. If it fails saves three times, it is turned to stone and subjected to the Petrified condition for the Duration. The successes and failures don't need to be consecutive, keep track of both until the target collects three of a kind.
If the creature is physically broken while Petrified, it suffers from similar deformities if it reverts to its original state. If you maintain your Concentration on this spell for the entire possible Duration, the creature is turned to stone until the Effect is removed.
