So I wrapped up The Companions quest line last night. 3rd time doing so, but 1st time noticing that there is a 2nd hidden door that opens to the entry room when you pull the chain that opens the 1st hidden door. It leads outside and up the hill to a dragon wall (so now I've identified a 2nd dragon wall that's Companions-only). This one is Animal Allegiance.

I was unable to find a use for this in the past, but something occurred to me as I passed a giant encampment on my way back to Whiterun. I saved, strode into camp, shouted, then attacked the giant and ran away. The two mammoths in camp immediately charged the giant. He took out one, but the other killed him. I don't know if you know this or not, but giants tend to have awesome loot. I loaded my earlier save and continued to Jorrvaskr (you get Kodlak's old room after you finish the quest. Free house!) with my gears spinning for other ways to abuse this power
