* ''WesternAnimation/IceAgeDawnOfTheDinosaurs'' has Buck's knife, which was created from the tooth of [[FluffyTheTerrible Rudy]], a gigantic dinosaur. Unlike several other instances of this trope, Rudy was no worse for wear for not having the tooth.

** The shaft of Duke Bohemond of of Bastonne's primary weapon, the ''Beast Mace of Bastonne'', was carved from the femur of a dragon he slew himself.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': The Goron and Zora Tunics are partially crafted from Dodongo hide and fish gills respectively, according to the official guide, which are implied to give them their heat resistant and water-breathing qualities.

* Yang in ''Fanfic/BoldoresAndBoomsticks'' replaces the damaged armor plate of Ember Celica with a scale shed by her Hakamo-o Sabra. The new component is noted to channel her aura better than the steel one did.

* ''VideoGame/{{Elsword}}'' has a lot of weapons and occasionally armors made/taken from the bosses' body. The Secret Dungeon [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]] in particular tend to either drop the special equipments themselves (rarely), or drop the materials you'd need to craft the equipment (more commonly).

** ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay'': Some [[EvilWeapon Chaos weapons]] incorporate parts of magical beasts to convey related properties, such as a blade crafted from a {{Basilisk|AndCockatrice}} tail that can [[TakenForGranite petrify]] creatures cut by it, or one quenched in [[ALoadOfBull minotaur]] blood to grant its bearer [[TheBerserker berserker rage]].

** ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim'': Oarts from slain dragons can be used to craft some of the best armour in the game.

* ''WesternAnimation/IceAge3DawnOfTheDinosaurs'' has Buck's knife, which was created from the tooth of [[FluffyTheTerrible Rudy]], a gigantic dinosaur. Unlike several other instances of this trope, Rudy was no worse for wear for not having the tooth.
