Xorn
Harvesting Table
Instructions: Because this creature is an
Elemental, 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.

ITEM:
Xorn Tooth (pouch)
DC:
10
Since a xorn has a diet of gemstones and precious metals, it's teeth are capable of slicing through stone with ease. Expert blacksmiths can create superb tools with these teeth. Adept weaponsmiths can use the teeth to create deadly serrated weapons.

CRAFT: Stone Cleaver Weapon (HHH)
DC:
15
ITEM:
Xorn Stomach Acid (3 vials)
DC:
15
The stomach acid of a xorn is highly corrosive, allowing the creature to digest precious gems and hard metals. The acid is useful to many craftsmen and alchemists. Failing the harvesting check by 5 or more results in the harvester getting burned by the acid, taking 7 (2d6) acid damage.
Use: A xorn's stomach acid is the equivalent of a vial of acid (PHB). As an action, a creature can splash the contents of this vial onto a target within 5 feet or throw the vial up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. In either case, the creature makes a ranged attack against a target or object, treating the acid as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 acid damage.

ITEM:
Xorn Skin
DC:
20
A xorn's skin is a hard-leathery hide, with rocks protruding all about the surface. The rock-like hide provides the creature with ample protection, but is also flowing with elemental energy. The rocks appear to meld into the ground and shifts color to match the surrounding rock. Armorers may be able to craft a set of heavy armor from the hide, which may take enchantments fairly easily.
VALUE:

EXPIRE:

CRAFT: Stone Swim Armour (HHH)
DC:
25
ITEM:
Xorn Olfactory Bulb (vial)
DC:
25
Xorns are capable of pinpointing, by scent, the location of precious metals and stones. This "treasure sense" is tied to the creature's olfactory bulb, a tiny flesh-like ball located in the center of the brain. Spellcasters may be able to use magic to tap into this item's unique ability.
VALUE:

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.

Xorn
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 7 pieces of meat, weighing a total of 28 lbs.
Random Roll: 2d6 = 7
Medium creatures produce 2d6 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.
