I'm very interested in all sorts of rules, especially those your talking
about.

I don't feel that peaceful animals necessarily needs to just run away.
they can act as moving terrain obstacles... all of a sudden a bunch of
dirtboars emerges in front of your advancing marines. the boars don't
mind but your marines has to go around them or through them (difficult
ground). or they can be noisy... the sleek eldar harlequins sneak up on
the ork settlement. all of sudden some screamsquigs starts to scream
nullifying the hiding of the harlequins and giving the ork guards +1 to
hit.
I feel that rules for things like this can add both realism and a touch
of the humorous side of the 40k universe presented in Rough Trader.
