This role is enhanced by the Snotlings' tendency to not notice danger until it is far too late. Nonetheless, they make excellent distractions as larger and more dangerous Ork units move into place. They do not have the intellect to use any weapon more complicated than a sharp knife. On the occasions that Snotlings are used in battle by the Orks, they quite obviously do not pose any threat to larger opponents unless found in massive numbers. Other legends indicate that the Brain Boyz reverted into the Snotlings. Some legends indicate the Brain Boyz died out during a great plague (giving the implication that the Brain Boyz were really the Old Ones).

The Brain Boyz created the other Orkoid species as a means of protection, while at the same time directing Greenskin society. Ork legend tells of a lost race of Orkoids that were highly intelligent, called the " Brain Boyz" by the Orks. The exact nature of the Snotlings is the subject of some controversy. These vermin also seem to reproduce quickly if left to their own devices, another link to their fungoid heritage. A Snotling has no qualms about crawling into an intake tube or engine compartment to see what is inside, resulting in a messy end for the Snotling and a large amount of damage to the mechanism. The danger that comes with Snotlings is their ability to infest an area and generally wreak havoc upon everything they come into contact with. Supervised and trained by Runtherdz, Snotlings will cultivate the fungus preferred by Greenskins to provide Orks with food, drink, and medicine. Snotlings' affinity with Squigs usually ensures that only a few dozen Snotlings are eaten by their "livestock" on any given day. While the Gretchin act as servants and maintain other secondary positions in Ork society, Snotlings will serve sometimes as "pets," but more often they are placed in Orkish agricultural and animal husbandry roles due to their affinity with the fungus and Squigs that feed most Ork settlements. Because of their small stature in the Orks' might makes right "kultur," they occupy what is perhaps the lowest rung of Ork society. It stands roughly half a metre tall and has the same gangly appearance as a tiny Grot.

Snotlings often wield mushrooms or sticks into battle.Ī Snotling appears to be a miniaturised Gretchin.

Snotlings represent the lowest rung of Orkoid society and are bullied by all other Greenskins. Snotlings are often used by their larger counterparts as cannon fodder, food or even ammunition in certain cases. A Snotling is an Orkoid, the smaller cousin of Gretchins and Orks.
