IMHO the only creature in the game that was entirely done right in this respect was the Great Buffalo. You break a horn? Chance at horn drop. Break 2? chance at 1 or 2 horns. Hack him in the legs enough? He falters for a while, and DD's can ramp up damage.

Incaps elsewhere in XIV ranges from somewhat- to dramatically-less consistent than this NM. Attention to detail, devs. (Yes, please.)
