Just came up with this question in a game. Would a dragons kidney stone be worth anything? Are there other creatures that would have kidney stones worth a lot?

I would imagine them being chunks of sulfur, which could probably be used dyes, explosives, or fertilizer. So they could be quite valuable.

So dragons eat a lot of sulfur?

Those breath weapons gotta come from somewhere.

Wasn't there some AD&D supplement that said dragons were conduits to the various elemental planes, and channelled their breath weapons straight from there? Maybe that was Grayhawk specific. I seem to remember it.

Then I would make the material from that plane. Ever burning coals, obsidian that is always hot to the touch, heat resistant chunks of brass. All as plane of fire example.

Third edition draconomicon explained the "draconis fundamentum" in a similar way I believe. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?
