Butchering Overview
Butchering is a skill that allows Adventurers to harvest extra meat and organs from creatures. This option is only available when looting a corpse if a Butcher Knife, or similar tool, is in a character's inventory. If a corpse is butchered, it can not be skinned, or have it's skull extracted. Butchering can also be leveled by extracting skulls, using a ProjectGorgon:Skull Extractor.

Butchering Mechanics
Leveling Butchering
Failing an attempt to butcher a corpse will grant 1 XP. Successfully butchering a corpse will grant much more experience! If you loot both meat and a bone or organ, you will receive 3x the normal experience.
Collecting Organs, Bones, and Fat
Organs such as ProjectGorgon:Stomachs, ProjectGorgon:Hearts, and ProjectGorgon:Spleens can be looted while butchering a corpse. Bones, such as ProjectGorgon:Femurs can also be obtained. The chances to loot an Organ or Bone improves based on the Anatomy skill of the corpse you are looting.
If you are looting a ProjectGorgon:Sickly Tiger, the bonuses would come from ProjectGorgon:Feline Anatomy. Level 6 Feline Anatomy grants Butchering yields extra bones: +2%, and Level 9 Feline Anatomy grants Butchery yields rare meat or organs: +3%.
Fat drops are based on the monster's level and their anatomy type. Herbivorous animals (such as Ungulates) have the best of all of the resources: skins, meat, organs. Carnivores have the worst. And omnivores are somewhere in between.
Probability of Organ
(As of end of 2020, according to Citan's forum post):
Provided you don't botch the butchering attempt altogether, you get a 3% chance of an organ for every 9 levels (rounded down) of the relevant ProjectGorgon:Anatomy skill, plus any item bonus. If you receive an organ, it is selected at random from the possible organ drops for that mob.
Example: If you have a level 45-53 anatomy skill and Amutasa's +7% organ knife, you would have a 5*3+7 = 22% chance for an organ. Say you are butchering a ProjectGorgon:barghest. Barghests have five different organs (stomach, brain, heart, spleen, tier-4 animal fat) so if you get an organ from one, you have a 1-in-5, or 20%, chance of getting a fat. That amounts to a 22%/5 = 4.4% chance to get fat from a Barghest.
