Despite the drawbacks of experiencing incredible pain and bloodlust, the sheer power and glory promised by becoming a killa kan pilot drives many gretchin mad with desire. Dreams of bloody revenge and lording their new-found power over their former tormentors are the most common motivators, and there is never a shortage of volunteers to become killa kan pilots. Indeed, competition between grots for the honour of becoming a killa kan pilot is so fierce and bloody that many grot mobs and mek workshops have instituted a simple lottery system by which they choose candidates for implantation. Once chosen and implanted into their new bodies, many Killa Kan pilots go on murderous killing sprees upon activation. Gibbering and howling, they flail about, dishing out well-deserved justice to former bullies and oppressors with their whirling saws, slashing power klaws, and chattering heavy guns. Most Orks find these bloody spectacles hilarious, at least those who are not on the receiving end of the new Kan’s fury. A raucous and violent festival atmosphere often accompanies the brutalities that follow the creation of a new batch of Killa Kans.{{Fn|2}}
Even with the increased fire power, Killa Kan pilots still display cowardly behavior. While they are usually deployed in small squadrons of two or three to take advantage of safety in numbers, some Kans have been known to run from the battlefield at the first sign of danger. Kans are kept asleep in pens in-between battles where they can do no harm to the rest of the tribe.Nevertheless, a pack of Killer Kans can take out a whole [[Astra Militarum Squad|Guard squad]] in a single salvo.{{Fn|2}}
