{{OrkoidSpecies}}
The '''Warboss''' is the highest position in a large [[Ork]] [[Waaagh!]]; he is always the biggest, strongest and most cunning Ork in any given grouping of such creatures, and gets the best armour, weapons, and equipment.{{Fn|22b}}
He is easily distinguishable from his brethren because of his bossy nature and tendency to be over nine feet (3 meters) tall. As a general rule of thumb, the more successful a Warboss is, the larger he is.{{Fn|22b}}
