Snotlings are Orkoids, and are the smaller cousins of Gretchins and Orks. Snotlings are often used by them as cannon fodder, food or even ammunition in certain cases. Snotlings represent the lowest rung of Orkoid society and are bullied by all. Snotlings often wield mushrooms or sticks into battle, or are used as ammunition for the devastating shock attack guns. Snotling's affinity with Squigs usually ensures that only a few dozen Snotlings are eaten by their "livestock" on any given day.

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. They do not have the intellect to use any weapon more complicated than a sharp knife. Nonetheless, they make excellent distractions as larger and more dangerous Ork units move into place. This role is enhanced by the Snotlings' tendency to not notice danger until it is far too late.
