==Roles in Ork Society==

The Gretchin are happy enough in their role. They bear little resentment towards their superiors, for them Orks are just a fact of life. Individual Gretchin can enjoy a relatively comfortable existence by providing valuable services to their Ork masters. Most Grots are owned by Orks as personal servants, though some gather together into loose tribes that may even own functional weapons and equipment. The Gretchin have created an entire enterprise culture of their own within their Ork-dominated society. Many Gretchin operate their own black-market businesses on the side, such as selling fungus-beer, roasting [[squigs]] on sticks, coordinating the bets when a fight breaks out or looting corpses for fun and profit.{{Fn|1}}

Gretchin are known for their poor combat abilities, but they compensate for this by sheer numbers. They often go to war with a basic gun firing volleys of scavenged ammunition before falling on their enemies in an fury of killing, ripping them to pieces with their teeth. Orks use Grechin mobs in battle to do everything from minefield clearance to meat shield to living carpet. Some "lucky" Gretchin get to crew Orky artillery known as Big Gunz, and while they are not on the front lines of battle, crewing Big Gunz often comes with hazards such as electrocution, dismemberment and almost assuredly deafening of the crew. Other uses for Gretchin in battle includes their piloting of [[Killa Kan]]s, smaller, Gretchin-crewed [[Deff Dread|Deff Dreads]], into battle, and their use as turret gunners on vehicles and emplacements. They sometimes also accompany Ork Warlords and [[Flash Git]]s as ammo runts, follow [[Mekboy]]s into the fray as oilers, and run around as orderlies to [[Painboy]]s. A caste of [[Oddboyz]] known as [[Runtherds]] acompany the Gretchin into battle, and they are often needed to keep the Gretchin from fleeing the battle. These Orks often employ Squig-hounds and Grabba-Stiks to keep their charges in line.{{Fn|1}}
