Changes

Greenskins grow up faster than humans, but still these young Orks (dubbed [[Yoofs]]) will sometimes take a year to find their place in their society.{{Fn|4}} Orks will continue to grow all through their lives; the effect is most notable in the most successful Orks. As the Ork survives combats and wins trophies, the respect of other Orks will produce in him an effect somewhat similar to adolescence in the human male: puts on muscle, becomes more aggressive and assertive, and generally throws its weight around. If it wins the ensuing challenges of single combat, it may become a [[Nob]], a leader of Orks (similar to a [[Sergeant]]), noticeably larger and tougher than average boyz. Once it begins to grow, an Ork will generally keep getting bigger and stronger until he is beaten by a bigger or more cunning Ork. [[Warboss]]es and '''Warlords''', the rulers of continents and empires, are very large Orks indeed.{{Fn|1}}
