Changes

During the [[War of the Beast]], [[Magos]] [[Eldon Urquidex]] autopsied several Ork corpses on [[Ardamantua]], and noted that the part of the brain responsible for problem-solving, usually located in the frontal lobes of [[human]]s and most other sentient species, was found in an earlier-developed and more basal location in the Orks' brain; this indicated that all Orks, despite their apparent savagery, actually have an innate and primal ability to understand and overcome obstacles of any kind.{{Fn|2}}

Orks are operated on by the '[[Painboyz]]' of the tribe. They seem to operate on a generally [[Wikipedia:nineteenth-century|nineteenth century]] level of surgical knowledge. Unlike humans, though, Orks are quite capable of being beheaded, having the head sewn onto a different body, and surviving the experience to fight again. The Painboyz also tend to use anything that comes to hand to fix/improve/augment the Ork body. Often this includes drilling and screwing things into the Ork and hoping they survive. Unfortunately, the Orks seem to be so tough that almost anything a Painboy does to an Ork is non-fatal, even when it involves large screws sticking out of arms and bones. This is also seen when Orks are 'upgraded' with bionic implants.{{Cite This}}
