Monster organ sample
Metamorph Samples refer to the 5 types of items from the in-game Metamorph mechanics: Brain, Eye, Heart, Lung and Liver. The itemized unique Metamorph organ (referred as "Greater Samples" in in-game dialogue) only drop from defeating the Metamorph boss that constructed by the player in map.
Mechanics
Each map has a 10% chance to include a Metamorph encounter.[1] The chance is not shared with Master nor Abyss, Blight, Breach and Legion, etc. In the encounter, certain monsters (and map boss) are marked with a green "arrow" on their bodies as well as marked on the mini-map, and the monster health and name bar have a green circle. Upon defeating these monsters, they drop organ samples which are automatically collected. With a full set of samples - Brain, Eye, Heart, Lung, and Liver - players can construct a Metamorph based on the combination they have used by spawning Tane Octavius and his Metamorph Vial using a button on the bottom right (PC default keybind: V). Tane spawns automatically once you've collected every organ in the zone.
Players can use any combination of a set of organs to create the Metamorph monster. Each organ determines the attacks the Metamorph uses, as well as the monster modifiers it has. Sometimes an organ will contain an additional item drop bonus. Moreover, a meter to the right fills based on sample rarity, which increases the monster's overall stats and item drops. Organs from higher rarity monsters will give larger increases to this meter. If the meter is filled as well as using at least one map boss sample, the Metamorph will drop an itemized organ sample, named after the name of the map boss, which can be placed in player's inventory. Note that in some cases, even in a fully cleared map, there are not enough rare and unique organ samples to fully fill the meter, due to external factors such as map rarity, map mods, map tier and pack size. Only one Metamorph boss can be constructed per a map instance, and only the itemized organ can be transferred out of the zone instance.
Itemized samples can be used in the Metamorph Vial in Tane's Laboratory. A full set of itemized organs can be used to construct a Metamorph there. The mods on the itemized organs indicate additional items the Metamorph will drop. Note that no more organs drop in the lab.

Vendor recipe
Three of any itemized organs can be sold to a NPC to receive a random organ differing from those offered, with random rewards.
Thus, if the players lack Eye and Liver, they should use 1 Brain, 1 Heart and 1 Lung in the recipe to maximize the chance.
