And FWIW, trolls don't seem to be too squeamish about using bits of chaos gods this way--Kyger Litor made drums from the skin of Thed, and Boztakang made his throwing stones from a now-forgotten chaos demons. So trolls don't say "Aah! chaos! must destroy immediately! Burn then petrify then thrown into Magasta's Pool!" [though this is getting close to digest fodder...]
So if the trolls buried Gbajibits instead of trying to use them, that's presumably because none of them were strong enough to take the risk. They may not have a moral objection to integrating chaos spirits, but they know that trying to integrate a chaos *god* is a bit of a handful. (After all, Kyger Litor herself was not able to destroy this god's curse...)
