Prepared Animal Hide

is not an actual object, but refers to any Dried Hides. Any of these can be used in the recipes that require a , and to make Leather.
Each inventory space that the hide takes up represents 1 . Hides can be split up into patches by right-clicking them. Hides that take up more inventory spaces than a crafting recipe requires, will be automatically split up and the remainder returned.

*Some recipes, like the Bear Cape, require a whole hide, so in these cases splitting it up effectively ruins the hide.
*Hide patches cannot be turned into leather.
