We once had a YKTTW called [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=agg6c3w53t77k799kyri4pig Armor And Weapons Made From Dead Animals]] that was very similar to this. It can be mined for text and examples.

Some examples I added to it:

[[AC:TabletopGames]]
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''
** 1st Edition ''Monster Manual''. The large plates behind a bulette's head can be made into shields of up to plus three power by a skilled dwarven craftsman.
** ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' magazine
*** #62 has "Evil dragon armors", an article on making armor out of dragon scales. Each type has specific abilities based on the dragon it's made from.
*** The #98 article "The Magic of Dragon Teeth", which has dragon teeth made into magical devices that could summon "dragon men" when planted in the earth.
** Module [=WG5=] ''Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure''. The whip possessed by the iron golem is made out of cockatrice feathers. It retains the cockatrice's ability to petrify any creature it hits.
** ''TabletopGame/DarkSun'' setting. Because of the shortage of metal, bones were often made into weapons.

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' the shells (exoskeletons) of ankheg monsters can be made into armor.
