This thread is to share the odd or confusing drops some monsters and/or enemies may drop.
I'm certain most of us can say the Fire Wand dropping from an Ice Imp is a common situation, or perhaps getting a White Dye from a Lv4 Skree Talon, but what kind of odd or out-of-place drops have you seen from any monster and/or enemy in Guild Wars?
Personally, I can say getting a Sapphire from the Warden of the Branch enemy.

When Prophecies was first out and on my first character questing out of Piken Square into the Diessa Lowlands, there were these stone elementals. Over to the right near the bridge a stone elemental dropped a Ruby.
Nobody knew what a Ruby was good for. There was limited offline info at that time, so presently just merched it. Have never seen any explorable area monster drop a Ruby since then.

Any enemy in the game can drop a ruby/sapphire. It's a miniscule chance though.
GODh
I got a Sapphire from a Yeti while vq-ing Gyala Hatchery a week ago... and in the same week a friend of mine got a Ruby from a mob while i helped him getting to Thirsty River (i think it was a hydra but i am not 100% sure).

I also got a Saphire from an Am Fah, by the bridge in Pongmei Valley. This was a fair few months before Nightfall. I also got a 15^50 celestial bow (q11)from the lvl18 mantids outside Naphui which was kinda neat.
Black and white dye drops from low levels is always kinda funny too.

I suppose it is "odd" to have a boss drop four items, and did once have the necro boss outside Altrum drop en elite tome, a gold, a gold scroll and some white weapon.

I like multiple green drops. Like two Kepkhet's Refuge from one kill and all 3 of Grognar's greens in one drop.

Several years ago I had a stone elemental in Pre-Searing drop a frost artifact with +8 or some armor against tengu. There aren't even tengu in Pre... O.o

I once had a charr (elementalist I think) drop a black pearl in Ruins of Surmia HM. As far as I know, no one else has ever had that happen. I guess I don't really have any proof because I didn't take a screenshot (only had Prophecies at that time so I didn't know where black pearls came from), but you'll just have to trust me. :P

Stone Summit Beastmaster dropped a Beastmaster Harness of Major Beast Mastery.
In one way it's quite logical.

Whenever I kill a mob and it doesn't drop anything, I never believe my eyes.

I believe I have seen 3 elite tomes drop at once but cant remember for the life of me. Anyone with a SS to prove this?
Spiritz
Does this qualify ?
In Hm and its quite often tho - kill a naga ( any of the places ) and i got 2 scale drop , not a big number but only 2.Other foes have dropped larger amounts of materials in hm except the naga.
It sort of made everyone lol in the team because its only 2 and its been done/seen on several diff farms - and yes it was def hm.
The 2 greens from a boss - sorrows furnace i believe is the place as greens seem to drop very easy round grenths footprint and ive had 2 greens from 1 boss and i think was gorrel.

nothing TOO extreme here, but 4 different drops from one boss was pretty special to me. Have seen one guy get all 3 kanaxai weapons in the same Deep run, but no screen of that...luckily was an alliance run so not TOO much annoyance lol.

Multiple elite tomes from chests is not that unusual. All it means is that more than one human in the party was assigned that drop in the chest, and the way it works is that the first one of those people that opens the chest gets all copies. Unfortunately the other poeple that "lost" their drops can't even get to open the chest.
I have seen triple elite ele tomes drop only once and that was in an Urgoz run. Having 12human players in the party means 12 assigned drops per chest so that makes it a more common occurance in Urgoz and the Deep. I have seen double elite tomes drop on numerous occasions in Urgoz. On a rarer note I have seen at least 4 occasions where double elites dropped when there were only 2 humans in the party doing VQ's. Much rare to get 2 of 2 the same compared to 2 or 3 of 12.
Oddest thing I ever saw - I even have it screen shotted. I ran out of Jaya Bluffs, nub island normal mode. Killed the very first Yeti I came to and he dropped a sapphire. Sapphires are rare enough at the best of times, but nub island normal mode made my jaw drop.

I was there when a Guildie got an Ecto in the FoW.

I figured since there were a couple mentions of 4 items from a single boss I'd throw this one in here.
I suppose the white dye made up for the claws.

Running my way to vat farm in eotn. All of the sudden, POLAR BEAR DROPS BOTTEM LEFT MAP PIECE. Poor guy was just trying to complete a quest

Well, I never usually see out of place drops. I don't find any drop as something too strange.
But I find some drops amusing, even though they are logical.
Carven effigies are part of the undead army, and so they drop the same undead trophy as the rest of the awakened: Mummy wrappings.
But they are not mummies, they aren't even coffins with a mummy inside or something like that. They are constructs animated with an elemental spirit, elementals like the Stone Summit golems, and as mere statues carved in stone, there should not be a single piece of cloth in them, yet they still drop mummy wrappings.
Another example of amusing drops are monstrous eyes, claws and/or fangs from enemies with no eyes, claws and/or fangs.

No screen to prove it but once had an ecto drop from one of the undead in the Normal mode Riverside Province mission! I think it was the first ecto I ever found and it was REAL odd to see it here.

Speaking of strange, it's strange whenever animals drop gold. I mean...where do they keep it?
Silmar Alech
It's in their stomach. You slit it open and grab it right out of it. Remember the roman proverb: "pecunia non olet".
