If you look at Storm Bull's myth, he will use anything against Chaos, and that Issaries/Lhankor Mhy combo quest from King of Dragon Pass has this stage where a huge chaos beast has to be slain.

There are Lodrili farmers in the Grantlands who might have a stake.

Lodril isn't that inappropriate. At least, he has embraced Disorder, and he has wrestled that enemy he saw on his descent.

There might be an interesting side-track if that wrestling myth gets strong at the chaos-fighting station - in the end Lodril merged powers with that opponent. If the opponent was the Chaos monster, good luck on the Plains of Prax...

The wrestling myth could be of use against the Longtooth. In that case, inheriting some of the opponent's powers wouldn't be too bad.

Of course, Lodril gave something up, too - his power of flight. It would be interesting to see what a Lodrili might offer instead...
