Corpses that cannot be field dressed also cannot be quartered, due to requiring the corpse to be field dressed first. Snakes and Spiders are the ones I have found.

Also, having the ability to see if a corpse has been field dressed would be nice, similar to how it shows you the target “has no organs” but instead says “already field dressed”.

Corpses that have been field dressed are called carcasses, but no reason not to have that too.
