Well, reading off of my LTW list of skins and leathers here:
Aldgoat, Toad, Boar, Pieste, Raptor, Hippogryph, Coeurl, Saurian, Blue Fox, Gryphon, Archaeornis, Wyvern, Dhalmel, Dragon, Serpent, Griffin (in order of lowest to highest level leatherworking)
From quests there's also mention of fox, marmot, antelope, dormice, etc.
As for legendary or big game skins, there's Dodore, Uraeus, and in Gridania, the legendary Sicksa.

Hunting the Black Shroud is a bit of a gamble. That's really the only city-state with strict poaching regulations. The Pact of Gelmorra forbids Gridanians from taking anything from the Wood in excess, which puts them at odds with poachers who make the trade of skins and furs their livelihood, like many Keeper families. That said, the area around Quarrymill is designated elemental-sanctioned hunting grounds, but only in small quantities, otherwise you'll be tried under Gridanian law for poaching.

Over the years, it has come to be a gathering place for hunters and trappers, owing to its location amidst elemental-sanctioned hunting grounds. Quarrymill is also a place of judgement. All outsiders who wish to dwell in the Twelveswood must present themselves here to have their worthiness weighed by the elementals. Those whose petition is denied cannot remain in the wood, nor can they receive of its bounty. Harsh though it may seem, this has been the way of it since time immemorial.

Constructed by Highwind Skyways to serve as a landing for cargo airships, this location was quickly abandoned when the imperial presence in the area became too large to ignore. Now the site is used as a makeshift market where bandits and poachers peddle their ill-gotten wares far from the eyes of the law.

Wood Wailer Sentry Wrote:Even the bounty of the forest has its limits. To loot it for your own gains is to court the wrath of the elementals...

Once they agreed to share their wealth of knowledge, the quality of Gridanian leather goods improved significantly, creating an increased demand for the superior products.
Hope this helps! ^^
