Feral Orks
 This page is needs images. Help plz. |
Everything starts somewhere, and many Ork Waaaghs start here. Orks, being Fungus|Fungi]], reproduce by periodically releasing spores from their skin, and eject a mass-release upon death, so it stands to reason that old battlefields'll be saturated in them. Once the original inhabitants of a planet've all been killed and the Orks've got bored and left for places and wars new, these spores'll still be there, and under the right conditions can germinate and grow, restarting a decidely more-Orky ecosystem than the one they supplanted. Of course, cut off from pre-existing Ork "civilisations", these Feral Orks'll have to start again from scratch, figuring out such rudimentary concepts as language and technology for themselves.
Feral Orks'll often by.
