Ulitharid
Harvesting Table
Instructions: Because this creature is an
Aberration, the player should roll a
Arcana Check using the DCs in the table below. On a success, the player is able to harvest the item. On a failure, the item cannot be harvested (either because the character is not skilled enough, or because the item is ruined). The DM should note that many of the items have an expiration, and can not be sold or used after the expiration has passed.

Mind Flayer Mucus

ITEM:
Ulitharid Tentacle (x6)
DC:
10
An illithid's tentacles are writhing with psionic energy. Each tentacle is a long strand of moist purple flesh, oozing with a sticky, clear mucus. The tentacle's fluids are useful to alchemists, and artificers may be able to find a use for the tentacles themselves.

CRAFT: Ink of Secret Knowledge (HHH2)
DC:

ITEM:
Mind Flayer Membrane
DC:

Many of the illithid's organs are wrapped in a thin, semi-translucent membrane. It can rip easily if removed incorrectly or too quickly. The membrane is believed to insulate the creature's internal organs, allowing psionic energy to flow around the area. The membrane is valued as a psionic conduit.

ITEM:
Ulitharid Brain
DC:

An illithid's brain is larger than a human brain, and contains many more ridges. The large pinkish organ secretes a translucent foggy yellow fluid, several days after death. The brain of an illithid are prized by the arcane community, and the fluid is highly valued by alchemists, healers and witches.

Most crafting items have an acronym associated with it, such as "DMG". These acronyms refer to specific guide books. For example, "DMG" refers to the "Dungeon Master's Guide". The acronyms for HHH and HHH2 refer to Hamund's Harvesting Handbook, a homebrew harvesting guide that offers a variety of homebrew (not official) magic items.

Meat
The meat of many monsters is considered vile and distasteful. Monstrosities and aberrations, in particular, may have tainted blood or rancid tasting meat. Dungeon Master's discretion.
This creature produces 15 pieces of meat, weighing a total of 60 lbs.
Random Roll: 6d6 = 15
Large creatures produce 6d6 worth of meat.
The table below shows how much meat an
inexperienced butcher may be able to harvest from a creature, especially after a battle may have ruined some of the meat (i.e. burned, frozen, poisoned, etc.). If a
whole creature's carcass is brought to a butcher, the butcher may pay 4x the value rolled in the chart below for the carcass (if the butcher even WANTS this kind of creature - DM discretion). Of course, carrying a heavy carcass can be difficult, and the creature's bacteria that kept it alive will begin to ruin the meat, spoiling it within a day.

† The weight of a raw piece of meat is 4 pounds. And one slab of meat (4 lbs.), can be used to make 1 dried ration (2 lbs.).
‡ Raw meat has a very short shelf-life, and will go bad within a day if it is not refridgerated or cured.
⋆ The table above uses a standard price of 5cp per pound for regular a piece of animal meat (such as cattle or deer). The value of meat can vary drastically, depending on the quality, rarity and the creature it is sourced from. For example, dragon meat could cost 10x more than standard livestock meat, while insect meat could cost only a copper or two per pound. A DM can decide if that is adequate, and if certain meat is worth more or less.
