There are few regions of the realms untroubled by grots. Despite their diminutive size and natural cowardice, these greenskins are remarkably adaptable, somehow managing to thrive in the most hostile conditions. Those scattered tribes that dwell within the Eightpoints are particularly resilient. Chaos warlords irritated by the creatures’ scavenging and pillaging often launch purges in an attempt to wipe them out, but should even a few grots manage to flee from the slaughter, their numbers soon begin to swell once more.
