And Scarelings. Any idea if Eyerazzia was dropped prior to hateplane?

What about phoboplasms? I assume if Woven Shadow didn't exist, they certainly shouldn't drop it.
1. Eyerazzia

This one is a bit hard to pin down.

I see no mention of Eyerazzia in the newsgroups before Nov 1999:

EQLizer news page shows Eyerazzia was added on Nov 1st (notably, along with Fluxbladed Axe, which I also can't find in the newsgroups before Nov 99):

Eyerazzia is mentioned on this guild page from Nov 99 in a list of drops he had "never seen before":

My best guess is that Eyerazzia was new with hateplane release, along with Fluxbladed Axe.

2. Flayed Turmoilskin Belt / Turmoil Warts

EQLizer news page has Flayed Turmoilskin Belt as a "new shaman belt from fear" on Oct 30, 1999:

Also this newsgroup post mentions new belts in fearplane:

For your information, although some new items
that are nice drop in Fear now, the armor doesn't seem to drop nearly as
much - as in 3 pieces in the entire ****ing zone yesterday. The new
belts aren't that great.
They already upped how tough Draco was too much
for the loot he drops, and they also make it so him and Cazic Thule
don't spawn for a long time. Whats funny is the servers go up and down
so often they never even get a damned CHANCE to spawn.

Turmoil warts, I do see these before hateplane release, I think they were in from the start. Here's a newsgroup post mentioning them in Sept 1999:

3. Phoboplasms

Highly doubt they dropped woven shadow before hateplane release. No references to it.
