===Bag Squig===
This breed features a large, gaping mouth, a bag-like body and a stomach that takes most of it. It functions secondary as a pouch that allows the Squig to survive by slowly digesting even the most unappetizing food inside. These creatures are used by Orks as bags or belt pouches when tanned out like leather or as flask for drinks when dried out.{{Fn|5c}}
===Bile Squig===
This breed is squig is frequently fired from [[Squig Launcha]]s and [[Heavy Squig Launcha]]s. These Squigs come in a variety of breeds and are capable of spraying, squirting, or vomiting harmful fluids. Typically launched by the handful, these creatures squeal and thrash while jetting acid, lubricants, poisons, and flammable fluids in every direction. The effects can sometimes be harmless, but other times can cause their victims to burst into flames, explode, or dissolve.{{Fn|35}}
===Bitey Squig===
This breed is squig is frequently fired from [[Squig Launcha]]s and [[Heavy Squig Launcha]]s. These Squigs have sufficient jaws, claws, and stingers to savage the target and anything close by. Launched gnashing and snarling into the enemy, they latch onto the first thing they hit and do not stop chewing until they are killed.{{Fn|35}}
===Boom Squig===
This breed is squig is frequently fired from [[Squig Launcha]]s and [[Heavy Squig Launcha]]s. Boom Squig's are infamous for its defense mechanism of violently exploding at the slightest provocation, typically due to direct physical contact or a loud noise (though sometimes even its own bouts of indigestion). They detonate with such force that they kill or maim anything unlucky enough to be in the vicinity. These creatures thus make the perfect living ammunition for Orks and are also sometimes used as landmines. They are also favored by Orks as the tools of practical jokes, as nothing will amuse a [[Speed Freek]] more than hiding a Boom Squig under the seat of a [[Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy]] driver.{{Fn|35}}
