As the idea was so warmly welcomed I will humbly offer an extension to it:

Now all the NPC's will have fully functioning digestive systems as well!
Ever wondered how all the big, stinky mound piles around goblin camps came to be?
Well now you know!
Watch as Forostar slowly becomes littered with refuse!
Swing that shovel for fun and profit!
Haul troll dung from Ironhold and become filthy rich!

Sell dung as firewood? Firedung?

I think the "Bugbear camp" firmly establishes goblinoids evacuating their bowels everywhere.

Well dung can be used as fuel. Troll dung perhaps even more so. Anything the troll eats the transforms having some properties of the troll. In this case vulnerability to fire. One could use troll dung to light campfires even heavy downpours, troll dung in a slightly more runny, liquid state could function like napalm. Rock solid troll dung could be polished and sold as fake adamantite.

Yesss...

Players could farm the trolls, feeding them different sorts of stuff resulting in piles of poo with different qualities.

Before:

The stinking, greedy male dwarf exclaims coarsely:"A good haul, s*load of nuggetses! I am rich, filthy rich I say!"
The stinking, hungry male tshahark hisses excitedly:"is will change to whole boar is, yes!"

Now

The stinking, greedy male dwarf exclaims coarsely:"A good haul, s*load of nuggetses! I am rich, filthy rich I say!"
The stinking, hungry male tshahark hisses shamefully:"I eats all...tastes funny is..."

Load the gameworld with tons of humorous/or not so humorous OOC-references.

Whenever more than one zombie is in a room they start to emote doing the thriller dance.

A band of tshaharklings under the guidance of their old and wise skaven mentor right wrongs and wrong rights as they please.

Four young and abandoned halfling monk novices, being captive inside goblinoid territory, basin full of Lilith blood tipped over them and in the darkness they changed...

Now Forostar knows them as adolescent mutant rogue monk tshaharklings.

Btw...it would be nice if the skaven could be changed to 'ratmen', 'ratlings' or whatever. Skaven is a loaded word with all the GW-baggage it carries.
