Gloomspite Gitz · Formation

Jaws of Mork

A gittish horde devoted utterly to the squig in all its bouncing, biting glory, convinced the beasts are the Bad Moon's own children and Mork's favourite joke. The Jaws of Mork fight as a stampede of Boingrot Bounderz and loose-herded cave squigs that hits fortress gates like red weather. Their leaders are whoever has survived riding the biggest squig the longest.

The Jaws of Mork are the grots who looked upon the squig — that bounding ball of teeth, appetite, and barely-leashed murder — and saw not a beast of burden but a revelation. To this horde the squig is the Bad Moon's own get, a living punchline in the endless joke Mork tells at everyone else's expense, and to be devoured by one is very nearly a blessing.

They herd the creatures by the thousand, mount the maddest, and trust the rest to the physics of hunger pointed downhill. Where subtler Gitz creep and scheme, the Jaws attack as weather: Boingrot Bounderz vaulting the battle-line on armoured squigs, cave squigs surging behind in a chittering red flood that neither side controls. Fortress walls have fallen to nothing cleverer than squigs eating the defenders off the parapet.

Leadership is a brutally simple affair: whoever has ridden the biggest squig the longest without being swallowed is in charge, until the day his mount grows peckish. This produces short careers and boundless confidence. A Jaws boss does not plan a battle so much as aim it, certain that if the squig beneath him turns mid-charge, it is only the god's joke landing where it always meant to.
