What creature has the most useful body, with the most usable parts, in the realms?

The Umber Hulk has a few very useful parts, but maybe something out there has more.

You can use its shell for armor.

The claws for magic.

The blood for magic.

Scales, Blood, Brain, Claws, Meat, Organs, Eyes, Etc

Depending on thier sex other body parts can be used for um stamina. :)

Umm, I think he was talking about what you can do with the carcass when the creature is slain. NECROPHILIACS NEED NOT APPLY!

How about the Tarrasque? I'm sure there's plenty you can do with all that hitting the ground...

Ah....good old Tarrasque. The worst thing to happen to D&D. Period.

Some sort of giant centipede with an atitude, I think. Though I am also wondering how can you utilize one :confused:

[http://www.geocities.com/flammabledragon/savarasteach.TXT] A Behir is a monster (you can see it in MM 3.0 pg24). It is Huge, has 12 feet, and can breath lightning at people.They can speak, hate dragons, and are rather cute. [/http://www.geocities.com/flammabledragon/savarasteach.TXT]

P.S.: I think their horns can be used to fashion Wands of Lightning or create ink for Scrolls of Lightning back in 2e...

BEHIR's
"It seemed that nearly every part of a behir was good for something." Magehoud P. 91

Horns: Ink for lightning (as someone said)
Talons and heart: Protection from poison
Bones: Scrimshaw
Teeth: Look like gemstone

I always thought that the carcass of a Remorhaz had exclusive rights to scrimshaw. Now the Behir. But if these critters are nothing more than giant centipedes and such, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that their bodies are encased in a chitinous exoskeleton like all arthropods? No inner skeletal structure?? Same for the Carrion Crawler.

Oh, a note about the Remorhaz - Polar Worm would be a misnomer because it isn't a true worm. (just look at any picture)

giant centipedes and such,
They aren't related in any way to centipedes.

None whatsoever.

The behir is reptalien, and the Remorhaz I dunno.

Oh divine, they are worms with lots of feet. That makes them centipedes, whatever they may claim (and why should we believe the word of a giant centipede anyway?) :D
