Taxidermy Kit
Taxidermy Kits allow players to use corpses of certain creatures to create trophy House Addon deeds. Only Carpenters with at least 90.1 skill can use or buy the kit, as those without master or grandmaster status in the skill cannot figure out it's workings.
They are found on NPC Tanners, usually within "leather and hide" shops. They average around 90,000 gold to purchase (assuming you're buying in Felucca, where prices tend to be far cheaper).
The player will need the following items to create a trophy:
- Taxidermy Kit
- 10 Boards
- Corpse of one of the following:
- Orc
- Gorilla
- Troll
- Brown Bear
- Polar Bear
- Great Hart
- Big Fish (Note that if stacked with other fish they will not be usable by the taxidermy kit.)
Ultima Online: High Seas booster pack introduced new rare Fish types that can be turned into a trophy:
If your character has the appropriate carpentry skill and materials, double-clicking a taxidermy kit will give you a targeting cursor. This cursor must be targeted on the corpse of the creature intended to be the trophy. You must have looting rights to the corpse in order to process it. The taxidermy kit will disappear upon successful usage, and a deed for the resulting trophy will be placed within your pack.
Note that unlike most other craftables, assuming you have the required skill and components, there is no chance of failure. Rules for placing the item in a House are the same as for any other Addon.
One other trophy, the Dragon Head, was introduced as part of the Spring Cleaning 2008 event and is still available as part of the Clean Up Britannia 2011 event. Taxidermy Kits cannot be used on Dragons to produce trophy deeds.

Taxidermy Kit
Taxidermy Kits allow players to use corpses of certain creatures to create trophy deeds, which can be used within houses to generate a wall mounted trophy.
Taxidermy Kits can be bought from NPC Tanners, usually found within leather and hide shops in towns. Only master and above carpenters can use the kit itself, as those without master or grandmaster status in carpentry will be unable to figure out the kit's workings. A master carpenter is defined by UO as a player with 90.1 or above base carpentry skill (base skill, visible by selecting show real in the skill window).
When a player who does not have enough carpentry skill attempts to buy a kit from the NPC Tanner, the NPC will say "You would not understand how to use this kit".
Prices for taxidermy kits vary from 80,000 to 110,000 gold, depending on the demand on Trammel and town vendors in Felucca.
The player will need the following items to create a trophy:

Deed for a Trophy: When a player with appropriate carpentry skill and materials double-clicks the taxidermy kit, they will get a targeting cursor. This cursor must be targeted on the corpse of the creature intended to be the trophy. The player will need to be at the corpse of one of these creatures to successfully use the taxidermy kit. The taxidermy kit will disappear upon successful usage, and a deed for a trophy will be placed within the player's pack.
Any player attempting to place the trophy will need to have owner/co-owner status within the house. You will get a message "This does not need to be locked down" when you try to lock a placed trophy down however they will not decay and do not use up any house lockdowns when placed.
Double-clicking a placed trophy will cause it to return to deed form in the player's backpack.
Trophy deeds placed in houses that collapsed at the end of the IDOC phase are deleted and cannot be picked up as part of the IDOC loot.
