| DC | Item | Description | Value | Weight | Expiration | Crafting |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Raw Dragon Meat | Dragon meat is a delicacy and is considered one of the finest meats you can eat. The meat spoils fast, but gourmet chefs will pay dearly for the meat. Dragon Jerky: If the meat is dried and smoked, a young dragon can yield about 2d6 days worth of dragon jerky. Dragon jerky is extremely filling, and a days worth weighs only a quarter of a regular ration (0.5 lbs.). It costs 2gp per ration. | 60 gp | 6 lb. | 1 day | - |
| 10 | Young Dragon Blood (5 vials) | Dragon blood is a valued commodity, used by spellcasters, alchemists and others. It can be used as a spell reagent and an ingredient for potions. | 125 gp | 1 lb. | 7 days | Potion of Dragonstrength, young (HHH) |
| 15 | Young Dragon Tooth (10x) | A young dragon's tooth is just under a foot long. They are long, conical and have a serrated edge. A dragon's tooth has a degree of elemental protection, after constant exposure to the dragon's breath. The tooth can be used to make small weapons, crafts and are prized trophies. | 25 gp | 5 lb. | ∞ | - |
| 15 | Young Dragon Bone (x6) | Dragon bones are infused with arcane and elemental magic, and tend to get harder as the dragon ages. Armorers and weaponsmiths that know how to work dragon bone tend to be masters of their craft. | 350 gp | 14 lb. | ∞ | Dragonbone Weapon (HHH) |
| 15 | Young (type) Dragon Horn | Harvested from: Black, Blue, Red, Bronze, Copper, and Gold Dragons Depending on the type of dragon, a horn or a prominent protrusion may adorn their head. These horns often retain a piece of the dragon's power, and make wonderful conduits for arcane magic. The horns make great trophies and can be crafted into various instruments and items, which tend to absorb magic enchantments fairly easily. Magic users create staves using the horns, as they make a perfect arcane focus. | 650 gp | 20 lb. | ∞ | - |
| 20 | Young (type) Dragon Scales | A young dragon's scales are hard, yet malleable. Compared to an adult dragon's scales, there are easier to manipulate by an expert armorer. | 1600 gp | 30 lb. | ∞ | Dragon Scale Mail, Dragon Scale Shield (DMG) |
| 20 | Young (type) Dragon Breath Pouch | The dragon's breath weapon is caused by two glands secreting a mix of chemicals together as the dragon exhales. The two glands are wrapped together in a thin membrane or pouch, which can be harvested if careful. Alchemists prize the membrane for the unique mix of chemicals it contains. Magic users prize it for the magic it holds. Artificers prize it for what they can make from it. Use: The membrane may be thrown up to 20 feet and the pouch explodes upon impact. Any creature within 15 feet of impact must roll a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or suffer 16 (4d8) damage (damage type depends on the dragon the membrane was harvested from). | 1500 gp | 10 lb. | 2 days | Dragon's Wrath (HHH) |
| 20 | Young (type) Dragon Wing (x2) | The wings of a young dragon are prized for their leather, which still retains some of the dragon's magical essence. | 3000 gp | 50 lb. | 7 days | Cloak of Dragonflight (HHH) |

Conservation Status
Chromatic dragons are not protected, by most. Many may offer rewards for their death, but some places may respect the dragon out of fear of consequences. Metallic dragons are generally respected and revered, but there have been those who had no qualms in in delving into their darker desires and so most societies do not feel any dragons need to be protected.
