Just had a random thought!

What DO grots do in their spare time? Besides stapling signs to the rear of the warboss while he is sleeping.

**SilverMK2**

Hide from Orks that are trying to kick them, hit them, sit on them and make them do work?

Though I understand that after that, they have a social structure simmilar to that of orks, where the biggest/most important grots lord it over the other grots.

They might also beat up snotlings too, to take out their frustrations at being beaten by the orks.

**Grey Templar**

so do the grots ever try to do a big mean ork in and is it ever succesful? Slitting his throt or arranging his shoota to blow up prehaps

**SilverMK2**

Possibly. They might gang up on a lone ork if there are a lot of them.

But a lot of the fluff has Orks just being so much bigger and stronger than grots that they just dominate them from the off. Some also has grots being naturally subservient to the orks, tending to them as they grow etc.

But then there are also rebel grots such as those found in gorkamorka (sp) and in other bits of fluff.

Grots don't have spare time!
Lazy gits always sloping off to do things like eat, sleep and other weedy-git stuff!
They should be working!

When they do manage to hide from their true and caring Masters, they laze around, tell stoopid stories, try to make themselves gunz (which don't work!), and other childish nonsense!

**Orkfantic**

They some times run black markets, not that theres a regular market with orks, and run fungus beer joints and steal anything they can get thier hands on. They also run lotteries to see who gets to go into the ne killa kans

I also think that in the larger greenskin held turf they form a knda slum area where they live, most of this comes from the codex I think.

**dietrich**

Grotz will occassionally get some payback on a particular ork. It's how Grostnik became the Mad Dok. He had a massive headwound, and his grot orderlies did some 'mucking around' in his brainpan before stapling it closed.

But, in general, grotz spend their free time hiding from Orks.

**Grey Templar**

Was thinking this would make a hilarious short film, maybe claymation

**Orkeosaurus**

Grots spend their spare time plotting revenge.

**LunaHound**

I think grots in their spare time:

-do trade / gambling from left over loots

-finding left over scraps from big meks to build their own things

**HiddenPower**

Grots are just as bad as orks the only difference is size. I dont think they are subservient its just that they have to do what there told. As soon as they get an advantage over their larger cousins they take revenge, like when they get intered into a killa kan they go "visit" the worst of their tormentor

Da Kommittee's going to be looking into this statement, comrade.

**Orkestra**

I like to imagine that there are small groups of grots who get together and have philosophical discussions on the nature of life, and who work on problems related to higher mathematics.

**Twoshoesvans**

grots politely wait in their cages before being set into cans, they are promptly released following surgery to rampage across the hill side to get revenge for all the wrongs done to them!

**FITZZ**

In general grots grovel and boot lick when the Boss is around,and grumble and gripe when they think he's out of ear shot...reminds me of some people I know.

I agree.

**penut the butter**

They throw bags of flaming squig poo on an ork's make-shift house.They deal drugs to innocent little boyz.All the traditonal gangster stuff.

agree as well, i could totally see them discussing the meaning of life, and then as soon as an ork passes going bak to being mindless creatures doing every mundane task.

**Solorg**

Why, Grots feed the Squiggoths, of course!

**Karon**

Uh...stuff.

Clean the Bear-Sized Squiggoth poop up, steal teef. Lick toes.

Poop in buckets sometimes. SOMETIMES.

Load the boss's shoota.

Things like that.

**Shaman**

They push snotlings around.

**the_ferrett**

There's one reading a book in Deff Skwadron.

**The Good Green**

Either they are tryin to be like orks or

That mr dear friend is sig worthy. I can see it know the Grots discussing the work of Groguin the noticed artist with their Fungus Brew and setting the worlds to rights!

**ghastli**

If I was a grot and I managed to find spare time, I would collaborate with my fellow grots and steal a bunch of junk. Then us grots would make something shifty to kill the runtherds and start our conquest of the entire warband

**Razzle**

They do what Orks do to them, to snotlings
