What do your players do with thier dead foes?

[Thunderfoot]

I didn't answer the poll becuase, the answer really is other...
Depending up onthe creature killed, it could be ANY of the answers (well, except fun, that's just sick). We have a Lizardman PC that has a taste for humanoid flesh, so if the 'monsters' were humanoid - he gets a free meal, if the clerics don't get to them first to bury them. If they are undead, they are usually burned, if the are elementals, they are doused in a diametrically opposed element, etc.

There really is no SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for our group.

...vivisected for components...

Yikes! I hope you mean dissected.

Early on in our WLD campaign I had an Asaathi (snake-man) ranger. We used to skin, dry and make rations out of a pretty large number of our non-sentient foes. I seem to recall eating a lot of Krenshar jerky. It's great seeing as it skins itself.

Since then, everyone has lost at least on character and every single one of the current PC's (other than mine) has a ring of sustenance. Ruins the fun of my orcish barbarian, who showed up with a decent survival skill and a thirty-eight pound sack of squirrels. I've got about two weeks worth of dried meat and no one to share it with.

let em' rot.......

Most bodies are left to rot, unless either:

A) The deceased has earned a degree of respect, in which case he'll usually get a proper send off of some sort.

B) The nature of the current undertaking requires a certain degree of discretion, in which case the body will be concealed or disposed of in some manner. I remember lesser xorn being summoned at one point to stash bodies in the floor, which, rules be damned, was pretty cool.

C) The threat of undeath looms nigh, in which case the bodies will recieve a burial blessing or cremation.

D) The threat of resurrection looms nigh, in which case measures will be taken to prevent such from occuring. Up to and including dialing 1-800-BRG-HEST to request a pick-up.

Them’s some Irrevocably evil characters!

 

[Warren Okuma]

Bodies are pretty good for luring out lurking predators, setting off traps, etc.

Aye, another vote for tools.

Heh, I wouldn't go so far as to say irrevocably evil, but the wizard in question IS definitely of situational morality. Best tool for the job, believes in intellectual utilitarianism over traditional good and evil, believes in the use of evil tools for good ends, etc, etc.

Comes out as mostly Neutral in the end.

Usually just leave them to rot. Sometimes they might burn/bury corpses but its more likely the corpses will be descecrated in some way.

I say dead end damned evil, pretty much just because of the Barghest bit.

 

[Wraith Form]

One of the PCs is a grimlock. He forgoes all treasure in favor of food. Cannibalism was never so funny.

Grimlock? Bah.

Elves think human-flesh tastes like chicken.
