ShakalakaTreasre

Japanese name: 奇面族のお宝 (Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G official guidebook, Enterbrain, 2008, pp. 954–1045).

Dropped by a Shakalaka in a state of confusion. Looks like trash...

Carving

Carve a monster you have slain to get claws, hides, and other materials. Collecting them is one of the great pleasures of a hunter's life; each monster's page shows what it gives. Small monsters and some mid-sized ones vanish a set time after they fall, so if you want their materials, carve at once. Also keep in mind that a captured monster cannot be carved.

Dropped items

When certain conditions are met, a large monster has a 50% chance to drop an item. It is one more way to get items from monsters, and the conditions differ for each monster. Since a drop can be a rare item, it is worth going for. You can pick up a drop only once per quest. If you leave it, it vanishes after a minute, but the monster may drop again when the condition is met, so there is no need to rush.
