While reading Metamorphosis Alpha, I notice a part in the book that notes the things you can pull off plants and dead mutants that can make for highly useful to adventures. For example, mutants with reflective skin could be skinned to make hide or fur that can reflect energy attacks, along with poisons and venom that can be coated on weapons or blow-darts. This is something I wish they included in Gamma World!
Beyond the obvious axe beak axe-heads, flailsnail flails and plate armor of most of the scaly/plated beasts, what odd item you would make form monster byproducts. For example, cutting the antenna off a rust monster to make a pair of armor-dissolving whips. The proboscis of a stirge could be used as hollow darts to cause its victim to profusely bleed, if not pulled out. As macabre is it is, if you skinned the hide of a nymph and put her bare ass on a standard, like a pride-flag for Ed Gein enthusiasts, you could blind or kill all who sees it — friend and foe alike! And that is just covering a few of the creatures form the first MM book! Can you imagine what could come out of that freak-show called the Fiend Folio? (Could the eyes of a Blindheim continue to shine after death? Even if if they continue to shine until the onset of decay or rigor mortis, you could have a highly useful flashlight. Damn, that would be awesome! FYI, I love the Fiend Folio!)
Think about all the possibilities!!
