Is there any official (or unofficial) lore about this part/aspect of the Betty Netch or their general species?

    Crafting with Netch Leather
    by Alma Merisan

    A guide to crafting with Netch Leather

    Despite having a powdery, velvet texture, Netch leather is actually somewhat venomous to the touch. When worn, one can still feel the tingling sensation from active nematocysts underneath the now dormant tentacle barbs.

    However, when crafted properly, the effect is somewhat pleasant. While some opt for a strict boil, curing the leather in a low temperature stove can harden it without overactivating the poison. In addition, tanning the leather at a rack can help maintain durability, as well as add color to your armor.

    Of course, if crafting netch leather armor proves too difficult, a trip to Solitude might help you find a set. Everyone who has read The Rear Guard knows of Cascabel Hall. Yet while the castle no longer stands, some say leftover crates of netch leather armor were sent over to Fort Hraggstad after the battle. You may even be able to take the armor apart and learn a thing or two about the process.

    Male netches have them too, by the way.

    Also note that if you have Skyrim/Dragonguard, you can visit the mentioned Fort Hraggstad, as well as craft the Netch leather armour using the relevant creation add-on. The same book is in that game; I don't remember there being any additional lore. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Netch mentions them being domesticated on the Morrowind mainland, but doesn't provide a source/citation.

    In TES III Morrowind, if you talk to any npc about creatures, they can also tell you this about Betty Netches:

    The betty netch is a large hovering beast, supported by internal sacks of magical vapors. The betty netch, the female of the species, is smaller than the male bull netch, but fiercely territorial. Cured netch skin, durable, flexible, and variously colored, is used throughout the Empire in garments, armor, weapons, household goods, and furnishings.

    To add to this, in TES III Morrowind you can visit the Dren Plantation, which is a huge Netch Farm.
