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.

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