Editing Squig (section)

===Other Squigs===
	
The breeds of squigs are innumerable and there are a lot of other, little-known types of these creatures in existence. From tiny micro-organisms on Ork bodies to the gigantic beasts put in the Ork spaceships to create breathable atmosphere, each of them has an use in Ork society. Notorious breeds such as the yellow-spotted '''Facegnasha''', the greater '''Fang-gob''', or the infamous '''Leapin’ Deff''' are especially popular for their use as Bomb Squigs. In Age of Sigmar, it is further expanded with examples such as the '''Glo-Squig''' are a type bioluminescent squig used to light up Lurklairs of the Gloomspite Gitz. Likewise, there is the '''Tapewyrm Squig''', which is only used by the Kruleboyz Orruk shaman Gobsprakk, who can summon a squirming swarm of Tapewyrm Squigs inside the stomachs of his enemies, sickening them and even causing them to explode in a shower of Waaagh! Magic like some sort of twisted DeviantArt fetish. Yeah. Most of the models below include original Squig models, although also included is a green, gelatinous blob that had two beady eyes, similar to a Japanese RPG Slime, which some fa/tg/guy thought was explainable as being like the Orkoid Fungus equivalent of a Slime Mold; searching has found that this is an unofficial model produced by a third party company, "Krakon Games". The idea for the model being a Slime Squig probably came from the old Games Workshop Troll boardgames aimed at children, specifically "Squelch!", one about Trolls playing a game involving stomping on Squigs; among the illustrated Squig Cards there is a little Slime Squig. There is also a Small, Hairy, Humanoid Squig, perhaps the Orkoid equivalent of a Gibbon, covered in what could be fungal cilia or mould, called a "Beastling" (see below), which is an older official model. There was a Squig with a face resembling a Grot's like the Cape-Bearing Squig, but with long, bendy tube legs like stilts. There were 2 spiderlike squigs, one with a face like an Ork's, the other with a massive piercing proboscis, called a "Coffin Crawler" which was responsible for feeding Tyranid Norn Queens. A White Dwarf Squig character was Niblitz, [[Gobbledigook]] the goblin/snotling's pet who resembled an attack squig covered in fuzz and with two little horns, who was often said to be "spiderlike" somehow. Niblitz may be the very first squig ever designed, as he first appeared before any other squig models. The Forest Goblins also used to be shown with Squigs who had arachnoid features, or even riding Spider-Squigs. These Spider-Squigs may be the apparent [[Arachnitids]] listed in some older Warhammer Fantasy editions as an army, leftover from the Tyranid Squig lore in older editions crossbreeding with the Giant Spiders of the Old World.
