Skyrim:Animal Parts

Animal Parts are various items that can be harvested from dead animals but have limited use. They are listed separately from other animal-derived products because game merchants categorize them differently. For other related items see:

• Animal Hides
• Raw Food for meat that comes from animals
• Ingredients for various alchemy ingredients that come from animals

Animal parts are traded by apothecaries and by hunters encountered in the wilderness.
