One particular variety of Hairy Squig is known as a '''Chin Squig'''. These creatures feature a long thin body with claws and hair all over and, once attached to an Ork's (or occassionally Grot's) {{Fn|44}} chin serve as an equivalent of beard. They are also known to be a sign of age and status among Orks.{{Fn|15}}{{Fn|44}}

Also known as '''Squighounds''' or '''sniffer squigs''', Herd Squigs are a special breed of Squig developed by [[Runtherd]]s as herding animals for [[Gretchin]]. They are related to many other varieties, but are bred for their speed, intelligence, ferocity and endurance. They have a very good sense of smell and hearing allowing them to track Grots and Snotlings wherever they may hide. They make very good tracking beasts in general and runtherds who own these creatures are often hired by other Orks to track down a lost items of equipment. Their powerful legs give them a great speed and endurance and they can be often found running in circles around the runts and keeping them in one place. Herd Squigs are controlled by Runtherds by a combination of calls and whistles. They start out knowing only a few commands but the list grow expands as the beast matures. They get very attached to their master and are very good adept at understanding his commands. Those , which usually vary a lot significantly from one Runtherd to the next and — it's impossible for one a Runtherd to command a Herd Squig trained by another.{{Fn|32b}}

The body of the Oily Squig exudes a thick oily black secretion from its slug-like body that is used by the Orks for machine oil. For spot-oiling jobs an Ork [[Mek]] grabs hold of the Oily Squig and squeezes it to spurt the oily excretion there wherever lubrication is required. As large quantities of oil are needed, these squigs are often bred in large quantities to extract the oily substance from them. The most efficient way of extracting the oil from the creatures is to use a large pressing machine, although more primitive methods, such as having gretchin to jump up and down on them are also widely used. Orks prepare the barrels of the squig oil in advance and , which they take those with them when they go on campaigns.{{Fn|6d}}{{Fn|32c}}

This small and bright variety excretes powerful dye dyes that are used by other Orkoids. Gretchin use them to paint banners and clothes , whereas Orks use it the dye as warpaint. Many varieties of Paint Squigs have tufts of hair on their tails that may be used as brush as well. Gretchin artists often use the shells of [[Edible Squig]]s as paint pots and palettes for painting.{{Fn|5k}}

These tiny, but voracious feeders are used by Orks to clean up rid their bodies and clothes of parasites. Orks simply drop them on themselves and let them crawl around. Parasite-Hunting Squigs feed on any lice, ticks ar or leeches the Orks may have picked up and are often themselves eaten by the owner if they drop off or if he simply feels hungry.{{Fn|5c}}

Squigeons are squig counterparts of Terran [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon columbidae]. They are sometimes used for transferring transporting messages in Ork tribes and warbands that lack more advanced methods of communication.{{Fn|8b}} However, they are frequently preyed upon by the ferocious predatory [[Squighawk]]s and bored Ork [[Flyboy]] pilots.{{Fn|34}}

Several tube-like probosces emanate from this squig bag-like body. This curious breed is used by the Orks as a musical instrument akin to human bagpipes. Also thus known as a Musical Squig , it can be tucked under one arm and inflated by blowing down a proboscis. They, when When squeezed, the Squig will make weird and disturbing sounds through it's its other pipes. It is a thousand times more cacophonous than any human musical instrument, but Orks like its sound when going into battle.{{Fn|5i}}{{Fn|32c}}

Squigsharks are squig counterparts of Terran [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark sharks] s that inhabit ocean depths on [[Ork World|Ork-infested planets]]. They are known to be very dangerous beast beasts and many Ork sailors have ended their lives as a food for Squigsharks.{{Fn|8a}}

Syringe Squigs kill their prey by injecting venom with a long needle-sharp proboscis - the biggest of the creatures feature wield needles up to 18 inch needles on theminches long. Painboyz use these Squigs by sticking the proboscis into the patient's flesh and squeezing the squig to release the venom. It is not deadly to Orks, but can knock them out for up to three Terran days at a time and so is used as an anaesthetic. Syringe Squigs are divided classified by their sizes to : 'small', 'big' and 'urty' , which are used chosen depending on the strength of the dose required. The venom is sometimes extracted from the creature and used separately for mixing up some kind of special 'medicine', or if a really large dose is needed.{{Fn|7a}}

Tramplasquigs are mountainous four -legged Squigs, that are used by [[Beast Snaggas]] to pull their [[Hunta Rig|Hunta]] and [[Kill Rig]]s vehicles.{{Fn|40}}

Wyrdsquig are an orkoid mutant breed of the Gnasher Squig found rarely in the wild. It has massive densely packed neural lobes and its used by orks Orks as a psionic bomb, triggered on the Wyrdsquig 's death.{{Fn|17}}
