Limit decor recipe drops to enemies that make sense

Limit decor recipe drops to enemies that make sense

Just now, I defeated a Lunar Narwhal, and as a trophy I recovered a Recipe: Broken Antler Decor.

This, by all accounts, is dumb.

There are a few recipes that can drop from pretty much any enemy, even though they have no relevance to the animal in question, and it results in them piling up and becoming an annoyance to get instead of something cool. I think it would make a lot more sense to limit recipes like these to enemies that are related to the recipes themselves, the same way recipes like the animal head mask recipes and the various craftable applicator recipes are limited to the animals they are based off.

I'm talking specifically about the following recipes, though there may be more I'm forgetting about (please let me know if so!):

Recipe: Broken Antler Decor (should be limited to animals with antlers)
Recipe: Moose Ear Decor (should be limited to moose)
Recipe: Deer Ear Decor (should be limited to deer)
Recipe: Elk Ear Decor (should be limited to elk)
Recipe: Den of Pelts (should be limited to animals with fur)

I believe they did this so there are some common recipes that are accessible to everyone at all times, no matter the biome or enemy. It doesn't make sense, sure, but neither does fighting a magical narwhal in the first place aha. I think it's fine as it is, so long as making everything achievable through every enemy doesn't become commonplace. The recipes can be sold if they're unwanted, and who knows, maybe there'll be some use for extras in the future.

I want to agree with this it makes so much sense and would make it more realistic. But Whirligig #11137 makes a valid point. Easy to gain recipes even for new players. I've been here since lunch and despite trying my best have yet to get a single Fox applicator recipe. But I have gotten some of these random drops which I do appreciate. So I'm okay with how it is it's fine not making any sense.
