* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate2'': Every dragon that shows up in the game can be killed and its skin can be harvested. Taking said skins to the LegendaryBlacksmith allows you to turn them into armor. Unsurprisingly, these armors tend to be some of the best in the game.

* Examples from the first campaign of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'':
** Vox Machina, being the prolific [[TheDragonSlayer dragon slayers]] they are, regularly harvest the bodies of their killed foes, intelligent or not. They also own a BagOfHolding that they fill with monster parts such as troll dicks and drow heads in addition to their impressive collection of dragon hide, scales, blood, claws and teeth.
** In Vasselheim, there is the Slayer's Take, a guild of monster hunters that plays this trope even straighter: They specifically hunt monsters for their body parts that powerfull wizards use for spells or item creation, such as a white dragon whose scaled hide presumably shall become dragon-hide-armor.
