I was wondering this because I wanted to use the Dragon we killed, and have the Mage turn his bones into equipment for my Monk, I wanted to have his bones crafted into Bracelets and Anklets and maybe a Staff, but I was wondering if it whould be any diffrent than just using the Bones of any other monster, are there diffrences in Hardness or the Hit Points... I just always thought that a Dragons bones where as Strong as Steel, but I guess thats just me being Crazy... Could I make a Displacer Beast cloak out of its skin, could I do anything with the Tentacles, there was a book I read one time where the main Character had a Cloak made from a Hellhound named Cinders... and it was his friend and it breathed Fire and I always thought that was awsome, is any of this possible?

I very much agree with the thought of dragons' bones being much tougher than those of other creatures, but I don't recall anything, even in the draconomicon, listing specific stats for them. As long as it doesn't unbalance the game too badly, go with it.

Draconomicon has rules for making items from dragon remains on page 116, called Dragoncraft Items. It requires a special feat to make dragoncraft items though.
