I've been looking for the best poisons that are consistently available to harvest (as seen here (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/afflictions/poison/#Harvesting_Poisons). Basically you can turn into/planar binding a highly poisonous monster, and then suddenly you have much better poisons than you could buy. So far, I've looked at everything available on PFSRD from fort saves DC 19-29, and have found the following:

Monstrous Physique III:
Thriae Queen (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/monstrous-humanoids/thriae/thriae-queen/): 1d6 Con plus staggered for 1 round, cure 2 consecutive saves
Jorogumo (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/monstrous-humanoids/jorogumo/): 1d6 Wis, cure 3 consecutive saves
Euryale (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/monstrous-humanoids/euryale/): 1d4 Con, vulnerability to sonic, cure 3 consecutive saves.

Beast Shape III:
Hydrus (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/animals/hydrus/): Paralysis, cure 1 save
Uraeus (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/magical-beasts/uraeus/): Initial Blinded and Paralyzed for 1 round (1/round for 2 rounds), secondary blinded for 2d4 rounds, cure 2 saves.

Beast Shape IV:
Tetrolimulus (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/magical-beasts/tetrolimulus/): Initial staggered (once), Secondary Paralysis 1d4 rounds, cure 2 saves.
Spider Eater (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/magical-beasts/spider-eater/): Paralysis 1 minute. Notably, frequency 1/minute, cure 1 save.
Sand Stalker (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/magical-beasts/sand-stalker/): Paralysis and 1 str, cure 1 save.

At some point I'll probably move onto Planar Binding/Entice Fey, but the character I'm working on can't afford those, so I figured I'd throw these out there and see how much interest there is before I do more.

Have fun, use responsibly :smalltongue:

Alchemy Pheromones:
Alchemical pheromones are clear, odorless liquids that typically come in glass vials. They combine the natural scent of one particular kind of animal, humanoid, or magical beast (such as wolves, humans, or unicorns) with alchemical reagents that enhance and refine that scent, making it potent enough to modify a creature’s behavior. If smeared on a surface or thrown as a splash weapon, the scent of an alchemical pheromone quickly fills a 5-foot-radius area. On entering that area, any creature of the chosen kind becomes affected by the pheromones for 1 minute unless it succeeds at a DC 14 Will save. All alchemical pheromones are mindaffecting effects, but swarms (as well as any other collection of creatures that acts as a single creature) are not immune to them. Creatures that don’t need to breathe are immune to alchemical pheromones, while creatures with the scent ability take a –4 penalty on saving throws against them. Each type of alchemical pheromones can be created with a successful DC 20 Craft (alchemy) check, and the type of animal, humanoid, or magical beast the pheromones affect must be decided on creation.
Aggression (1,400 gp): Affected creatures are driven into a mindless frenzy, as if affected by simultaneous confusion and rage spells.

Arousal (150 gp): Affected creatures are aroused and distracted, causing them to lose their Dexterity bonus to AC.

Susceptibility (300 gp): Affected creatures are forced to obey one specific command, as if affected by a suggestion spell. The command is chosen when the pheromone is created.

Brewed Reek: 40 gp, You can hurl brewed reek as a splash weapon with a range increment of 10 feet. A creature struck with a direct hit must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save or be sickened for 2d6 rounds. If the target fails its save, it must make a second Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. Creatures in the splash area must make a Fortitude save or be sickened for 1 round.

Fungal Stun Vial: Price 75 gp; Weight 1/2 lb.
Harvested from a rare fungus, these small vials emit a bright blue glow, and are commonly used in intertribal kobold disputes. When broken, a fungal stun vial releases a flash of bright blue light in a 10-foot radius and dim light in a 20-foot radius. All creatures within the flash area must make a Will save (DC 20). Creatures that fail are stunned for 1d2 rounds if they're in the area of bright light, or are confused for 1 round if in the area of dim light.

I sarcastically suggest milking Drow for Drow knockout poison.
