Gargantuan Squiggoth is an Ork massive fearsome beast unit that crushes enemy troops and serves as a transport.

Description

Squiggoths are Orkoid monstrosities, towering hulks made of little more than muscle and bad temper. They are distantly related to Squigs and have all savagery and single-mindedness of their smaller cousins, but Squiggoths can grow so large that they dwarf tanks and even buildings. Goaded by the Orks that ride on a howdah upon its back, the Squiggoth thuds into battle, the ground tremblind beneath its feet.
