A question of Scrag Regeneration [Archive] - Wizards Community

Believe it or not, one of the players in my campaign has cut the ear off of a Scrag that the party defeated. Since it was not in the water at the time, it did not regenerate. The character then tied the ear to his belt as a trophy. One of the other characters later burned the Scrag's body, but the ear is still dangling from the other character's belt.

My question is this, would the severed ear start regenerating if later immersed in water? If so, would eventually re-grow into a new Scrag? The reason I ask is that my player's will probably end up underwater in the near future, and the potential for mayhem is high if trophy-boy forgets about the ear before getting wet.

The description of renegeration indicates that severed body parts die (and decompose, as "trophy-boy" should eventually discover) normally unless they're reattached in short order.

Bwahahaha! Who cares if it makes sense or not. Do it! What a set-up!

Granted, it does go against the rules. So you'll have to bend them a bit. Perhaps the god of scrags intends to punish the trophy-gathering PC. Does the PC carry other such souvenirs? Perhaps wayward magic creates an amalgam of them all.

He he... apparently it works for Magic: the Gathering trolls. (http://www.wizards.com/magic/autocard.asp?name=Troll-horn%20Cameo)
