'''Mad Dok Grotsnik''' is an infamous [[Ork]] [[Painboy]].
Grotsnik is, like most other [[Ork]] [[Painboyz]], completely insane and obsessed with "serjery". He has experimented on himself so much that he has become even more resilient (and demented) than most other Orks. His implanted [[bionik]] weapons make him a fearsome killing machine in close-combat. He is more than willing to experiment on any hapless Ork who ends up on his operating table.{{Fn|1}}
==History==
Grotsnik began his career as a standard Painboy on the world of [[Urk]]. It was Grotsnik who performed the surgery [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka]] when the future [[Warboss]] received a [[bolter]] round to the head, replacing a large chunk of his skull with [[adamantium]], which led to Ghazghkull's communion with [[Gork and Mork]] and his subsequent dominance. Ghazghkull's sudden rise to power was fortuitous to Grotsnik, who found himself rising alongside the Warboss. Grotsnik seeks to turn Ghazghkull into a pet for his own ends, and he has killed the [[Grot]] [[Makari]] in the past for interferring interfering with this plan (though the lucky Gretchin always reincarnates into a new body).{{Fn|4}}
Despite the general unpopularity of Grotsnik's wanton surgery, no Ork would dare to harm him while he is under Ghazghkull's personal protection. Suddenly extremely popular, Grotsnik looked at the mob of Orks waiting outside his tent and saw another great opportunity. He convinced the richest [[Nobz]] of his tribe that they too should have need for the procedure that saved Ghazghkull. What What Grotsnik didn’t tell them was that each cranium contained a portion of high explosive, and that he had a remote trigger hidden away for each of them. The work kept rolling in, and if a Nob with a metal cranium offended Grotsnik, he had no issue detonating their upgrade later.{{Fn|2a}}
