==Gutbusters== {{topquote|Gobble the brains and gorge on the meat. Chew on the eyes and crunch the feet. Batter the softflesh, give ‘em a prod, into the maw of the Gulping God.|A traditional Ogor feasting song}} The on-foot “standard” Ogors and the largest of the various Ogor sub-cultures, the Gutbusters worship Gorkamorka as “The Great Beast that Consumes the World” or the “Gulping God”, literally their justification for eating everything in sight. They move and conduct raids according to the Mawpath, a cyclical pattern that is determined by the tribe’s Butchers and leaves massive bite-like trails across the realms. Fitting the bigger scale of the setting, the Gutbusters are divided up into multiple smaller tribes called warglutts, with the overall Gutbuster Mawtribe being led by an Overtyrant, who has numerous other Tyrants as vassals leading the smaller tribes. The best way to think of the Mawtribes is like a fleet of ships. The Overtyrant is the admiral, controlling the whole thing, while each ship has a Tyrant as the captain, and a Slaughtermaster as the navigator. The Bloodpelt Hunters act as scouts or alternative navigators for the Warglutt, hunting down the biggest of prey items and reporting to the Tyrant. The numerous warglutts are constantly on the lookout for new food sources and plunder. Border settlements, beastherds, fortresses, cities and even simple farmlands are all on the menu as far as the Gutbusters are concerned. And Warglutts are also just as happy raiding other Ogor settlements of their hard-won food stores. However, unlike say Orruks who crave fighting above all others (and don't really care who they fight) and rarely strike any kind of diplomatic accord with other grand-alliances, The Gutbusters focus on food and eating (along with an arguably more complex cultural system compared to most other destruction forces) and being the only destruction faction to build permanent settlements means that truces and even short-term alliances have been made with the forces of Order, Chaos and even Death (with adequate payments in food and plunder that is). In fact mercenary Ogors, known as Maneaters, are not even that uncommon in more primal regions (especially Ghur). With Mercenary companies of Ogors even helping cities fight off other destruction forces or even other Ogors. This is not to say that they are completely trustworthy however, as Ogors can quickly turn on their employers and allies if they see a better deal. Besides the the Ogors themselves, the Gutbuster Mawtribes are also host to dimutive greenskins known as Gnoblars. These small creatures long ago made a deal with the Gutbusters Ogors to become a servant cast in exchange for protection from those that sought them harm (especially the Orruks and Grots who took great delight in bullying them). They are considered camp followers and trail close behind the moving Warglutts when they go out hunting/raiding, doing the menial labour that would distract the Ogors from eating. In addition to them numerous pack animals are brought to carry the food and loot (or just as back-up food), with Rhinox being a notable example and trailing far behind them are the ravenous Gorgers. Ogors for some unknown reason can come down with a sickness known as the "Empty Belly Curse", though its believed to be caused by displeasing the Gulping God, that drives them mad due too no longer being able to derive any enjoyment or taste from food. These are caged up or thrown into caverns or pits, until being released by the tribes Butchers to throw them at the enemy and giving them the embrace of death (as their fate is considered a fate far worse than death). Arguably the most prized possession and symbol of a Mawtribe’s power is their Great Mawpot, a giant cauldron built from the melted down loot the tribe has taken from defeated enemies and then blessed by their Slaughtermasters to be a focal point of their gastromancy. Being so drenched in raw magics, these pots are able to contain even [[Nighthaunt|ethereal]] and [[Daemon|daemonic]] entities. The Mawtribe will sometimes lug these titanic cooking vessels into battle to quickly reenergize the Ogors present. Occasionally, Butchers and Slaughtermasters will all take temporary leave of their tribes and gather to form a Gollop. One part swap meet, and another part religious pilgrimage, these shamans will all come together to share recipes, stories, and of course, food. The sheer amount of magic emanated from such a concentration of Butchers causes the very land around them to turn cannibal, with oceans rising to swallow the land and mountains trying to extend upwards to break through clouds. Occasionally, a Grand Gollop is called (how or why is unclear), which has caused entire mountains to tear themselves out of the ground and tried to consume forests and oceans around them.
