When Squigs Steal the Show

If Squigs looked like this, I would give it a big squeeze on the face!

When the Squig is Extra Chonk

At first glance, you might think this is just an outrageously happy dog, but anyone who’s spent five minutes in Warhammer knows the truth. This is no ordinary beast—it’s clearly a squig, possibly a rare variant like the Giga Gnasher Grinbeast. With legs spread wide like a squat tank and that gelatinous smile, it’s got “fungal monstrosity” written all over it. The caption above calls it a “big toad creature,” which is honestly fair, but the resemblance to Warhammer’s beloved squigs is uncanny. It’s got that same energy of a creature bred purely for bouncin’, bitin’, and being bizarrely adorable. The only thing missing is a saddle and a feral ork yelling “WAAAGH!”

Ork-Approved Cuteness

This squig lookalike is clearly in its prime—wide stance for stability, meatball-sized head, and the kind of neck girth that suggests it could headbutt a dreadnought. It’s being lovingly patted by a human handler, likely a low-ranking grot caretaker moments before being accidentally smooshed. The expression on the creature’s face says it all: it lives for violence, cuddles, and snacks. You just know this beast would chase a Space Marine down, then immediately flop over for belly rubs. In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war… but also squigs that look like they just ate a family-sized bucket of treats. The combination of threatening girth and joyful derp is pure Ork culture.

The Emperor Protects… but Who Protects This Guy?

Honestly, if this unit was on the tabletop, it’d have +5 to morale and cause immediate laughter-based leadership failure in enemy units. He’s too round to fail a charge, too adorable to deny, and too blessed by Gork (or possibly Mork) to care. A creature like this wouldn’t even need rules—it would just waddle onto the battlefield and instantly become the MVP. Is it a weapon? Is it a mascot? Is it a living, grinning pile of muscles powered by sheer good vibes? The answer is yes. This meme doesn’t just call out the resemblance—it summons the spirit of squigs in a form we can all agree is both terrifying and deeply huggable.
