===Gitmob Grots=== The vanilla/plain Goblins of Fantasy existed in AoS first edition, comprised of all the regular gobbos, wolf riders, and war machines. They were phased out rather quickly and left in obscurity, with only passing mentions in the lore. These nomadic raiders worship the light of Hysh, which they refer to as Glareface Frazzlegit. It wasn’t until the [[Warhammer Underworlds]] warband “Rippa’s Snarlfangs” was released that we got a ''little'' more info on the Gitmobbers. Gitmob Grots live and die on Snarlfangs, large wolves native to Ghur and Hysh whose venomous saliva and relentless endurance made them perfect mounts for the natural pack-mentality of the Gitmob. Snarlfangs are kidnapped and raised as pups by the greenskins, instilling a tenuous bond between mount and rider. This doesn’t stop the lupine beasts from mauling their grot riders should they sense vulnerability however. Snarlfangs are revered by the rest of the Gloomspite Gitz (to an extent) for a sixth sense that lets them know where the Bad Moon will appear. Barring this, there is little cooperation between the Gitmob and Moonclan. Only recently, thanks to Skragrott’s smooth talking, was a truce called between the grot clans and now scouting packs of Snarlfangs have popped up in the Gloomspite hordes. Gitmobbers have a bit of inspiration from the Hobgoblins of Fantasy, given their emphasis on backstabbery, hit and run tactics, and how their veteran warriors are known for the copious scars and wounds between the shoulder blades. Rippa Narkbad, the grot leader from Underworlds was noted for being kicked from his tribe not because he tried to kill the reigning Gitboss, but because he failed to do so and got caught. The Gitmob Grots are at odds with the rest of the Gloomspite Gitz due to their differing religious views: they worship Glareface Frazzlegit, perhaps as "The Evil Sun" to match with "The Bad Moon" (using Ork Klan names as minor Destruction gods). This basically makes these sun-worshipping Snarlfang-riders the equivalent of Satanic Motorcycle Gangs to the rest of the sun-hating Gloomspite Gitz, seen as idiots at best and traitors at worst. It's no small feat Skragrott was able to get them to unite with the rest of Grot-kind again.
