(Inspired by Crothian's post in another thread talking about searching the bodies of wolves for treasure...)
What was the weirdest scenario in which you or your players have discovered treasure? It can be magical treasure, gold, what have you, but I'm looking for the situations where either the treasure is something that obviously doesn't make sense for the creature in question, and how it was explained that it possessed that treasure.
For example, when I first started gaming back in the 80s, I was taking a party through the D-series and they randomly encountered a beholder. A fight ensues, the party wins, and they ask if it was carrying treasure. I dutifully roll up some treasure - magic scrolls - and tell the party that yes, they have found some magic scrolls.
"Where did it carry scrolls?" came the inevitable question.
Thinking quickly, I responded, "you cracked open the beholder's body like an egg and found the scrolls inside."
How convenient is that - monster and treasure in one neat package!
Anyway, what are the weirdest places you have found (or placed) treasure?
