My favorite was when I was about to start invading a huge fueling village a wolf hunt started. The wolves ended up clearing the village for me and then some. The only enemies the wolves had trouble killing were the deathsquitoes.

I like the use of the word “gaggle”.

I aggro'd this Wraith in full daylight.

One of my favorites was a multiplayer server I was on with friends, but the first swamp I found was positioned in such a way that the closest my freshly entering swamps self could do was park in a black forest and cross a sliver of plains to reach the swamp. Every iron trip was absolute chaos on that server. I'd drag greydwarves and trolls into the plains, which often engaged with whatever happened to be there already. I'd just keep running unless I saw a deathsquito closing in at which point id pull out my shield and then take off again after it bounces off. Then everything still after me from the plains would invade the swamps as I dove into a crypt. Repeat in reverse for the return trip.

It's surprising how much damage a lox can do when it wanders into the swamps though. Never tamed him, but I called him George and he was my unwitting little swamp buddy until he eventually disappeared.

I had a 'tame' golem that kept me safe while mining. He could not get at me in my dig pit, and everything else that came by got splattered. Sometimes this stuff feels exploity and sometimes is just 'cool' and fun. Maybe depends on my mood. But I was glad of the big pile of wolf meat.

Started running to evade an Abomination in the Swamp. In broad daylight, a Wraith soon joined the Chase, along with a gaggle of Dragr, Skeletons, and Blobs. Crossed into Black Forest, where a Troll and a gaggle of Greydwarves joined in. Got trapped against a tree, and the last thing I saw was the whole furball fighting among themselves. Does this stuff happen to anyone else?

So, Benny Hill - yackety sax?

Yeah, it's one of my favorite parts of the game! I got You Are Being Hunted once on the plains, and led the wolves to a tar pit with fulings nearby, and got to watch the growth/fuling/wolf fight from a distance. The fulings won

The size of this encounter was unprecedented for my level.

I thought Wraiths were supposed to be exclusively nocturnal.

I've pulled Trolls into Swamp several times, which is easier than dealing with them myself. So far, I've gotten at least two into battles with Abominations. They never seem to finish each other off.

If aggroed on a target a night spawn will stay alive until it wins, loses, or gets confused and loses the target, then it will despawn. if chasing a fast deer or the like, they can linger a bit past morning. Typically you get a hit or 2 and it despawns to prevent loot.

all the time, I actually take advantage of enemy rivalries when near other territories.

Yeah, I do it for fun sometimes. I test them to see which enemy will win the fight :) And i have seen some epic fights :)
One time I found 2 star fuling berserker at the border of plains and black forest (but didnt go too close to agro him)... i decided to find a troll in BF and make him chase me back to plains. I was extremely lucky and within a minute i found 2 star troll and a greydwarf party. I expected this will be another epic fight, but i didn't know there were actually two berserkers and another fuling with a spear so it was actually pretty quick death for a troll :(
