Creature's size and its value and weight modifiers.

Size	Weight(x)	Value(x)	Note
Tiny	Weight(x): ¼×	Value(x): ¼×	Note: Tiny creatures often carry very small weapons & armor, too small for other creature.
Small	Weight(x): 1×	Value(x): 1×	Note: Small creatures tend to use smaller standard weapons, like daggers and shortswords, but it is the DM's discretion if the items are usable or have a modified weight/value.
Medium	Weight(x): 1×	Value(x): 1×
Large	Weight(x): 1×	Value(x): 1×	Note: Large creatures tend to use larger standard weapons, like greatswords and greatclubs, but it is the DM's discretion if the items are usable or have a modified weight/value.

Meat

There is a stigma to eating meat belonging to sentient creatures that have a humanoid form and features. Harvesting the meat may be frowned upon and even considered cannibalism. Some communities may refuse to buy the meat (and some evil communities may pay a premium). The meat may even be difficult to eat, or unedible. Of course, these are all up to the Dungeon Master to decide.

This creature produces 11 pieces of meat, weighing a total of 44 lbs.

Random Roll: 2d6 = 11

Medium creatures produce 2d6 worth of meat.

ROLL AGAIN

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.

Beast Size	DC	Meat	Weight (x4)†	Expire ‡	Value (x2sp)⋆

Large	DC: 5	Meat: 6d6	Weight (x4)†: 24-144 lb.	Expire ‡: 1 day	Value (x2sp)⋆: 12-72 sp
Huge	DC: 5	Meat: 8d12	Weight (x4)†: 32-384 lb.	Expire ‡: 1 day	Value (x2sp)⋆: 16-192 sp
Gargantuan	DC: 5	Meat: 8d20	Weight (x4)†: 32-640 lb.	Expire ‡: 1 day	Value (x2sp)⋆: 16-320 sp

† 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.

Meat and Creature Types

Some creature types have meat that is inedible (i.e udead), while others carry some sort of stygma (cannibalism, distasteful, unholy). For example, eating a celestial may be considered a vile, unholy act; while eating a monstrosity may be considered disgusting and distasteful; in addition, giants are too similar to most medium-sized humanoids and are often considered inline with cannibalism. Of course, while buying meats with a stygma is forbidden and possibly illegal in most places, there are always people willing to buy illegal goods (although they may be hard to find).

Eating Meat

Cooked meat can be eaten safely. Cooking meat requires a campfire or oven. Eating raw meat requires a DC 10 Constitution Check. A successful check results in a filling meal. A failure results in debilitating stomach cramps, causing 1 level of exhaustion (disadvantage on ability checks).

Drying Meat

The meat can be dried using salt, spices, heat and time.
