Firekeeper example



to:

* In ''Through Wolf's Eyes'' Firekeeper's original outfit was made out of the hide of a deer she had killed herself. It is explicitly mentioned that the leather of her outfit is of low quality, as she was literally RaisedByWolves and knew nothing of practical tanning.

** Subverted in that, while most of your armor and weaponry are made of the bones, shell, and hide of things you hunt down and kill/capture, you never make it yourself during a hunt, but rather take the materials in to a professional to have them processed and crafted into a suit of armor/weapon (As demonstrated in the opening of Freedom Unite, which explains why crafting also costs money on-top of materials).

* A very common foe in {{Scion}}. "Nemean" is a term that refers to any animal that is supernaturally huge, powerful, and evil, usually somehow related to the titans. A nemean lion can be the size of an elephant. A nemean elephant can be the size of a house. All of them generally look like gigantic versions of the common animals, but sometimes they have some monstrous features. The skin of a nemean animal is nigh impenetrable, and many heroes have made coats, cloaks, or jackets from nemean best skin that are the best non-Relic armor available in the setting (and often enough, they become Relics). On a sidenote, once you become so powerful that a lion the size of an elephant is your version of a common mook, don't worry: there are also ''Typhonian'' animals, that are big enough to provide a serious challenge to ''gods''. A typhonian lion can be the size of a tall building, it's hide is even tougher, and if you skin it, is even better a prize...

* [[ExcelSaga Excel]] once did this to a crocodile. As she had to do it bare-handed, it left her hands badly torn.
* [[HajimeNoIppo Takamura]] once took out a bear by [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome punching it a bunch of times]]. He let the bear live because she was only [[MamaBear protecting her cub]]. However, Nekota came across the bear, killed it, and made bear stew. In Takamura's next fight, he wore the bear skin as part of his grand entrance.
