Exactly what the title says: What is cantigaster venom? What are its properties? What, for that matter, is a cantigaster? It pops up in the lore here and there, but I don't think I recorded them all.

I believe you get a good explanation if you play through the university storyline, if you want to find out for yourself.

You can meet the Cantigaster in person if you explore the tunnels below the Shuttered Palace.

Cantigaster Venom is one method to ensure certain death in the Neath. It's not exactly pleasant, as it induces seizures. You can see this first hand in the Cheesemonger storyline.
One drop, even diluted in drinks, is possible to paralyze a target, while two or more will kill the drinker, permenantly.
It's milked from the Cantigaster, who despite the boasts of monster hunters, remains alive, for now.
