When a monster dies, sometimes it may leave items with its corpse; these items are known as death drops. If a monster leaves a corpse and is not a Kop, it has a 17% chance of leaving a random item on it[1]. The type of item is dependent on what portion of the dungeon you are in[2]. There is also a penalty against small monsters, who can only leave items that weigh less than three: food rations, leashes, and figurines.
