My inventory was set to no sorting because of all the issues recently.
I had tossed out a skinning knife and a flesh map that were not needed, The cimmerian feast and corrupted Savage horn had not been touched, yet somehow ended up on the ground also.
This item took me 24 real life playtime hours + a considerable amount of limited time event currency to acquire, there’s no way I would have mistakenly clicked it.
I also should not have to police behind a feature as basic as dropping an item.
It would not have even been in my bag because of how rare and precious it is, but it has to be in the inventory to decay properly so it can be turned into the pet.
