What monsters do I kill for hides?

What monsters do I kill to get a monster hide? I've been trying to get one for ages but I still can't find any.

Larger monsters can drop "x Hide". You can dismantle this, at a crafter, to get generic Monster Hide.

Example, Necrophage Hide becomes Monster hide and Monster blood:

You can convert these items into monster hide:

• Necrophage Hide
• Troll Hide
• Werewolf Hide
• Ekimmara Hide
• Beserker Hide
• Chort Hide

I was looking for monsters to get monster carapace and monster hide needed for upgrades of Witcher Gear. Unfortunately I had already slain all big monsters, done all quests, destroyed all monster nests, etc (OCD anyone?).

But I found this cave I visited before with a bunch of respawned Devourers close to the entrance, a Harpy or 4 furthermore down the cave and 3 Erynia flying monsters at the bottom. On my first visit to this cave I had looted and killed everything, so imagine my joy that all these monsters respawned in between visits.

And - JAY! – I got me 3 Necrophage hides amongst others. And those can be dismantled into monster hides and/or monster carapace. You can find the cave next to the fast travel point of Clan fordarroch Forge – Skellige (south-west of Kaer Trolde).
