Corrupted Nodule
These incredibly strong, lightweight nodules are somehow naturally made in corrupted creatures. Incredibly hazardous to human health if consumed.

Corrupted Creatures.
Corrupted Nodules act as a substitute for 
Polymer much like 
Organic Polymer. Unlike the latter however, the Corrupted Nodule drops at a lower rate and can only be harvested from the bodies of Corrupted Creatures.
Corrupted Nodules can be used as a substitute for Organic Polymer in the crafting of 
Ghillie Armor.
Gathering
Gathering Corrupted Nodules shares the same mechanics to gathering Organic Polymer. Tools associated with gathering Organic Polymer should work the same with Corrupted Nodules, with the 
Chainsaw being the most efficient. However, the 
Moschops is an exception due to its harvest escalation only applies to the organic polymer itself and not its variants.
It also shares the increased spoil time whilst put on an 
Achatina, even though it obviously can't be produced by it, and 
Preserving Salt does not affect it.

Notes
- Corrupted Nodule can also be used as a "suicide pill." When consumed it does 500 damage to the player, like Organic Polymer, which will kill most players instantly.
- Exactly like Organic Polymer, the Corrupted Nodule also only stacks up to 20, allowing it to quickly fill up a creature's inventory.
