Orcs and Goblins (Warhammer) - Beasts

Beasts

Accompanying the greenskin hordes are a variety of unusual non-greenskinned creatures. Squigs are strange two legged creatures part fungus, part animal. Slightly larger than a goblin, they appear as a ball of tough flesh with large chasm like mouths filled with razor sharp teeth, they vary in colors and some even have spines or spikes growing from their bodies, some have tails. They are captured and then goaded or ridden into battle by goblins. A sub breed of squig is the much larger cave squig. Cave squigs are physically similar to regular squigs except that they are much larger. They are found in caves and are much more ferocious than their smaller cousins. They feed off of dwarves they run into or night goblins who fail to capture them. Trolls are large dimwitted creatures with immense strength and toughness. They can also regurgitate recently eaten meals in the form of highly corrosive acid which is a very useful offensive ability. Trolls also have they ability to regenenerate. There are two sub-breeds of trolls: the river and stone trolls. River trolls are slightly more agile than the other breeds. Stone trolls have hard scales covering parts of their body as well as a resistance to magic. Both sub-breeds of troll are considered better than the average troll but are also much rarer. Giants are extremely huge and consider anything smaller than themselves as food. In some rare cases they can be persuaded (with shiny gifts)into joining an orc warband. Some giants will join these warbands of their own choosing. Usually because they are hungry or just bored. Wyverns can be captured, broken and used as powerful (if reluctant) steeds for Orc Warbosses in battle.
