Squiggoth

Squiggoths are enormous beasts which are part of the Orkoid race, one of the primary species in Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Description
Bred from the far smaller squiggly beasts (or simply Squigs as they are known to the Orks), Squiggoths are fed from an early age on secret diets of nutrients and growth hormones which cause them to grow to colossal sizes. Primarily the product of the Snakebite Clan which eschews modern technology in favour of more traditional ways, these creatures tend to resemble either mutated woolly mammoths or the reptilian dinosaurs of Earth’s prehistory.

The Snakebites are happy to sell these monstrosities to the other Clans, but keep the details of their creation a closely-guarded secret.

Usage
Whilst the Snakebite Clan will use Squiggoths for any type of labour too heavy for a gang of hard-working Orks, those sold to other Clans are invariably used as weapons of war. Once fitted with custom-made armour plates, a howdah to transport the most crazed Orks into battle, and as many heavy-calibre weapons as the creature can carry, a Squiggoth becomes the biological equivalent of a tank. With a foul temperament and a crew of trigger-happy Orks, a Squiggoth is more than capable of breaking through the most heavily-defended enemy battleline.

Orkeosaurus
The largest Squiggoths are known as Orkeosaurs, and are terrifying enemies to face in battle. Towering over even the tallest of buildings, an Orkeosaurus can crush nearly any foe beneath it’s massive feet, and carries enough firepower to level a small city. It will also cost its owner a fortune in teeth, the commodity which Orks use as currency.
