The largest of all, the legendary and vanishingly rare Gargantuan Squiggoths bred in the pits of the Snakebites, gain their size and strength from the very best and most potent feeds available to their Ork caretakers. Large Squiggoths are the result of carefully crafted diets (supplemented by any Orks who stray too near their mouths).
The smallest Squiggoths, although still huge and very dangerous, are the product of inferior, low-quality feed mixes, and are considered runts among their larger cousins. Bred primarily by the Snakebites and sold to any warband or tribe who can afford them, Squiggoths are massive, reptilian quadrupeds with a mouth full of wicked teeth and an incredibly savage demeanour.Įach Runtherd has his own special recipe of Squiggoth feed, and these recipes are constantly modified and tinkered with to eke out the maximum amount of growth possible. The pinnacle of the Runtherd's art, the Squiggoth is the largest and most aggressive of all the Squigs. The fort carries Ork Boyz, along with powerful Ork artillery pieces such as Supa-Lobbas.
Squiggoths used for combat will have armoured barding placed around the creature's neck and head, along with a small armoured howdah (or even a fort on the largest Squiggoths) built on the creature's back. Squiggoths are reptilian in nature and resemble Terran dinosaurs, although there have also been reports of mammoth-like Squiggoths adapted to cold climates that possess heavy fur and tusks. A Squiggoth's size ranges from that of a Leman Russ tank to that of a small Titan, although generally they are somewhere between these two extremes of size. The size of the Squiggoth is determined by the effectiveness of the feed-formula the breeder gives his creature. The Magos Biologis of the Adeptus Mechanicus have identified Squiggoths as fungal lifeforms, though they are fairly rare and can only be grown to their largest size by the specialist breeder Pigdokz of the Snakebites klan.
However, this variety of Squig is just as capable as a weapon, and can sow devastation in its wake as it transports Ork Boyz and their weapons across the battlefield. Squiggoths are most commonly used by pre-industrial Feral Orks, but can be found among their more technologically advanced spacefaring counterparts as well. So don’t ta holler at me if dey eats yer fingers."Ī Squiggoth is the largest species of Squigs, a form of ravenous Orkoid creature used by Orks as food and pack animals. " Don’t poke at ‘der Squiggoths ya’ snotling-brained oaf! ‘Dey don’t like it, an’ it hurts ‘der feelins.
