Fur

Consider the aurumvorax. It used to be, in D&D, that you could make some use out of the various parts of some of the monsters you defeated. But you had to be careful with this one.

Really though, we wanted to talk about fur trapping and trading as it developed throughout history. In doing so, we pay particular attention to Russians, beavers, John Jacob Astor, and the political turmoil of the 19th century. All of which are interesting and exploitable dynamics for your own D&D game. Assuming they still do that sort of thing.
