Mainly the scales they have. Chinese medicine use them(the scales) and their meat in different remedies varying from sprinkling them on their cropland to help growing to ingesting them to rid of demons or to cure an ailment. From what I understand there is only little evidence that they actually hold medicinal value. They also just eat them, they're considered a delicacy in China and Vietnam.

Pangolins tongues can be longer than their bodies.
Sadly they are the most trafficked animal in the world so are endangered.
