'''Old Zogwort''' is the greatest of all [[Ork]] [[Weirdboy]]s. He lost one eye in an especially devastating blast which destroyed an entire [[Imperial Guard Company]], although he claims [[Mork]] guided him into doing so. He is associated with snakes, and has the ability to turn enemies into [[squigs]].{{Fn|1}}
===History===
Old Zogwort was born on [[Zurk]] under the ominous phenomena of a total eclipse, where his spore had matured within a nest of [[bloodviper]]s. As soon as he was born he was attacked and bitten, until, in order to survive, he began to bite back. From that point on, no snake would bite him. Within a single year he had rose to prominence in his [[Feral Ork]] tribe. His true powers revealed themselves when he reached adolescence and violent psychic phenomena began to surround him. In a short time Zogwort's fame soon overtook that of his own [[Warboss]] [[Skabgutz]] so he left the planet, taking several of his squig-snake pets with him, forming the [[Weirdwaaagh! (Zogwort)|Weirdwaaagh!]].{{Fn|3}}

In [[Codex: Orks (4th Edition)]], Zogwort's birthplace is stated to be [[Catachan]]. However [[Codex: Orks (8th Edition)]] retcons this to the world of [[Zurk]].
