To answer your question, generally yes. Whatever you steal would have been dropped by the critter in question.

The exception is when it *might* drop something. For example, spiders and crabs sometimes drop eggs and shells when they die. If you steal an egg or shell, you steal the one they would drop, and they won't drop anything. If you don't steal it, however, it still may or may not be dropped when it dies.

Hmmm well that definitly makes it seems a bit less good. Unless those %chance drops are common.

There are several useful things with the percent drops. Specifically...

Spiders - eggs used for the serpent nectar and the warlock promotion
Raptors - eggs are need for the ranger promotion
Crabs - shells for Buckley to make breathers and helmets
Treants - seeds used for Wizard guild quest
Longtooths - hides for Talrik quest
Diamond vipers - diamond gems for selling
Freyedies - steal your dragon ore back, make some more dragon armor...

All I can think of at the moment...
