Snotling

Snotlings encountering their more common fate in war.

Oh boy, you thought Gretchins get no respect? Snotlings are literally the icky paste at the bottom of the barrel of an Ork hierarchy. Being viewed as nothing more then diminutive and immature Gretchins, these poor sobs get picked on and bullied by literally everyone within Ork society even the most wimpiest of Grots still have some sense of use.

To makes thing short, life for a Snotling is even worse then a Grot. Their role in an Ork ecosystem are essentially caretakers of fungi and more commonly as food for squigs. While Gretchins form the overall 'middle-class' and secondary citizens, Snotlings are nothing more then dog food, pets even. And unlike their somewhat larger and more cunning cousins, Snotlings are as dumb as a brick, noted to behave more on animalistic instincts then raw independent intellect. These guys are the dudes that just have to be pitied.

Battlefield Roles

Cannon fodder of a cannon fodder, that's it. Snotlings are so useless in a battlefield that even Grots consider them as cannon fodder. Since their simpletons, they are often armed with very basic (As in very basic) weaponry such as sticks, sharp glass or a wet sock. Obviously they would deal as much threat as a very angry kitten, fortunately though they come in ludicrous numbers, resulting often in drowning their enemies in blood and bodies.

Sometimes an Ork with a Shokk-Attack Gun use any unfortunate Snotlings as ammunition since a Gretchin is actually smart enough to notice the danger while a Snotling is often too dumb to realize what is going on until it is too late. Often (If they are fortunate) the resulting Snotlings after being transported through the Warp lose what little sanity they have and start to attack anything like a rabid dog once they get kicked out of literal space hell, sometimes however they may just come out in ludicrous gibs or cease to exist all together.
