| Squigs hop into battle, all teeth and slavering jaws. They are omnivorous, and often need a not-so-gentle reminder from their Night Goblin Herders as to what is on the menu and what is not. Squigs are wild beasts that are difficult to control. Swirling melees are far from optimal situations. It is fairly common to see Squigs driven into battle only to see them turn against their handlers, wreaking havoc on their own lines, before bouncing off of their own accord.
Squigs come in all manner of sizes, shapes, and colors. Like the fungus that grows within the cave homes of the Night Goblins, Squigs tend towards bright colors. Varying colors are the least of a Squig s potential mutations. Squigs have been seen with horns and other curious features, which implies that the Night Goblins have been experimenting on them.
"Without a doubt, one of the most peculiar creatures you will find in this world is the Squig. Whereas most living things can be categorized as belonging to either the realm of plant or animal, the Squig seems to belong equally to both. It is not easy for a sane man to conceive of such a thing. Imagine, if you can, a large and colorful clump of fungus that has come to life, hopping about and champing a large maw filled with sharp teeth. It is a beast every bit as dangerous as it is odd." - Professor Sebastian Geisen, University of Nuln |
