Heroes - Mounted Unconfirmed
Shaman on Corpserippa - Monster Mount, Flying Wizard (Non-Special version of Gobsprakk)
Killaboss on Corpserippa - Monster Mount, Flying Hero (Non-Special version of Gobspreakk)
I would expect a centerpiece model like the Mouth of Mork to be unique, so I would be mildly surprised if the kit makes any units other than Gobsprakk.
From the “Kunnin” story which Gobsprakk appears it shows him holding “court” with other Orruks mounted on Corpse-rippaz. That was my main reason why I think it’s hinted it will be a multi-kit.
Yes, I've read 'Kunnin'', but I don't see where it mentions other Orruks mounted on Corpse-rippas.
How often does GW release a ridden monster without a generic option though?

Does Alarielle on her Wardroth beetle count? Oh what I wouldn't give to see a generic version of that.
But to your point, that's the only one I can think of off of the top of my head.
Waldroth beetle and Teclis' thing are more magical, one-off creatures though. Not saying they couldn't make a ton of Walroth's, but they do mention multiple Corpse-Rippas in the story.
Gordrakk, the Fist of Gork, also has a generic megaboss option in the set. His Mawkrusha has a metal facemask, but that's about it
And here's where he was referring to:
At the ruined castle’s top was what a flock of what Krugrump first took to be birds of prey, but then realised, given the scale of the fortress on which they were perched, were monstrous wyvern-like vultures big enough to carry a grunta in their talons. Each had a greenskin rider atop it. One of the riders, a hunched figure with four banners on its trophy rack, had taken a position higher than the others, and was gesticulating wildly as he held court

That's why I'm waiting.
Jumped at two of the first 9th Ed terrain boxes and then they released Vertigus. Not making that mistake this time.

All three being gods (or more or less) and being characters from the Old World.
I’d say Gobsprakk is generic enough that they would make his box a dual kit similar to Gordrakk.

The Maw-krusha is the only large monster in a pure Ironjawz army. Kruleboyz will have the Mirebrute Troggoth, Sludgeraker Beast and Marshcrawla Sloggoth as large monsters in a pure Kruleboyz army. I will not be surprised if the Gobsprakk kit is not a dual unit kit.

Wow, I assumed he was lost forever. Good that he's being released.
Someone on reddit pointed out a while ago that he may be a Stormcaste-ed Excelsior warpriest from silver tower. I wish that it was meant to be a homage, but the book and scrolls are different.

No, but I wouldn't expect them until the battletome drops (it goes up for pre-order in August).

Shaman is a bit lost with the banners and little details but the boy is quite nice (except fro the sucking lemons head).
Vulture is wicked and would be so cool on a undead army.
