Give Trophy Items a Chance to Increase Stats

Currently there's not a ton of utility of trophy items in game besides going "huh, neat" when you get them, and some will rot if not used. Granted, it's not hard to use up the rotting trophy items, but what's the point of using them over, say, a large carcass? So, my thought is that if you make them possible stat-boosters, you're incentivizing battling, and rewarding people who do so regularly, and it gives a method of improving the stats of wolves with roles that don't provide a ton of stat boosts.

Thoughts?
