Plots for Monster Chess Pieces? (europe.pub)

I am currently running a "dungeon delving" campaign (in the Ptolus campaign setting), and one of the characters has decided that she wants to get some side income by carving chess sets out of monster carcasses they have come across and selling them.

This is novel enough that I feel I ought to develop some further plots from this. So, any ideas for:

the kind of people who might buy such chess sets
what kinds of shenanigans might develop from something like this - supernatural or otherwise?

A large-sized chess set on a public plaza.

Are your maps based on square tiles by any chance? What if a chess figure suddenly attacked someone who's standing on a threatened tile according to chess rules? The nature of the attack could be based on the monster the piece is carved from.
