[[File:GretchinArt.jpg|thumb|right|A Gretchin{{Fn|11}}]]
{{CMS}}'''Gretchin''', '''Grots''' or '''Runts''' are a lesser [[Ork]]oid slave race who do the menial tasks which Orks consider themselves above.{{CME}}
==Physical Characteristics==
There is a faction known as [[Rebel Grots]] who had too much of their rough treatment and rebelled against their masters. Because of their organisation skills they could sometimes build and maintain war machines and artillery.{{Fn|2}}
{{CMS}}Because Gretchin are synonymous with cunning, small stature, cowardice, negligent physical prowess and other things considered un-Orky, the term 'grot' is used derisively between the larger Ork boyz. i.e. - "Da' boss needs some real boyz to do this job, not you pack of grotz!"{{Cite ThisCME}}
Though they usually obey to Orks, Gretchin could live on their own - on planets where only Gretchins settled and even could create small Empires in space, that apes Orks empires completely.{{Fn|9}}
