The '''Brain Boyz''' are the race that originally created the [[Orks]] and [[Orkoid physiology#Orkoid species|Orkoid species]].
Ork legend (such as it is) is generally passed down by the [[Runtherd]]s. They speek speak of a legendary caste of greenskins who created the Orks of today. This ancient race was extremely intelligent, and held dominion over the Ork castes. They were much smaller than their servants, so they bred the Orks to be as strong and fierce as possible to protect them from predators and invaders. <sup>1 p7</sup>
A great tragedy must have befallen them, however, for they do not exist today. Some Ork legends tell of a great plague that lasted for many centuries, causing the brainboyz to dwindle and eventually die out altogether. <sup>1 p7</sup>
