This has been proposed for ages now. Aside from heads, i think it would be funny to have a wall full of the backsides of creatures. Image a room full of the azzes of SWG creatures. You could place your vendor in the room and when someone complains about the prices you are asking for...all they have to do is take alook around your room for your response.

OK, let me see.
Rancor Head - Yes
Thune Head - Yes
Grunda Head -Yes
GSP Head - Of course
Crimson Razor Head - Yep
Huurton Head - A bit small, maybe. Prolly want the B.E. pet looks better
Gaping Spider Hunter Head - Does this have a head?
Krayt Dragon Head - Got the skull, no head needed.
Bol Head - Same as Krayt Dragon
Kimogila Head - Hard choice. We get niether, so what is it? Head or skull?
Rasp Head - Not even going to start with this one. 
Should be stuffed on a pirch.
Should be stuffed on a pirch.Fish Head - umm, soup?
Great Plains Stalker Head - The rarest cat in the game? YES. A stuffed (BE) baby? YES, YES, YES.
I like this idea, but I would limit it to the animals that have a "head" on them. Vynock head would like a flower stuck on the wall.

mounted heads and whatnot would be very cool. entire stuffed animals on the other hand would most like do nothing more than get the BE's who make critters for decorations mad.

Yes, we've been wanting to put our kills on our walls for ages now, but no no... I don't think the Devs have ever listened or cared. Right now it's all about the Jedi, and after that it will be JtL, then the other prof revamps. Bleh... but yeah, I would love to get some of the more impressive creatures in the game in house to show off. I would like to see it as this.
Depending on which way the creature died (health/action/mind) would determine what a ranger could "loot" off of the corpse. If the health pool had the most points when it died then you could get the hide. Action pool would get you the bones. Mind pool would grab you the head. (simply using the loot command to retrieve the parts).
Hides, using some architect/artisan made items, could be turned into rugs or pieces of upholstry (sp?... you know, the stuff used to cover couches and the like).
Bones, using some architect/artisan made items, could be turned into statues (such as the skulls we have already from missions) or used in furniture/clothing (who wouldn't want a Krayt tooth necklace?).
Heads, using some architect/artisan made items, could be turned into mountables or specific pieces could be taken out such as eyes or horns for decoration.
If you can collect all three of a creature you could put it all together (using some architect/artisan made items) and make a full body display, with 3 selections of poses (standard, death, attacking) on top of a mount.
Distribution throughout the tree would be odd... I would slam it in with camping or trapping. Depending on how far up thetree you were would determine how powerful of a creature you could craft, the different stances you could put the creature in, and the amount of things you could do with the parts you "loot". Being able to do everything at camping/trapping 4, I would putan ability at Master Ranger to loot more than one piece of "loot" from each creature you kill. Say you kill a creature by draining it's health pool. That means you can loot its "head" and "bones" for crafting purposes.
My 2 cents.

Too add to this I've always wanted to bea ble to take teeth as trophies. You can get bile-soaked rancor teeth now, but they don't look like much. Maybe add a tailor schematic in that requires teeth and they could make a neclace out of them. One big rancor or kimo or krayt tooth hanging from a chain (grin). This way you could showcase your trophy all the time. I can think of all sorts of tribal-like decorations I'd love to bedeck myself with as proof as my hunting prowess. Boba Fett decorated himself with braids from the wookiees he had killed. I'd love to decorate myself with rasp feathers lol!
Basically I love the idea. Some animals, instead of the head, you could have a rug that lays on the floor. There are a lot of cool options.
