Ordo Xenos Biologis — Krork Genetic Memory, Spores & The Great Beast
As documented in Magos Biologis Variel's 'Anzion Theorem' and 'Xenology', the Ork species ('Orkoid', originally engineered by the Old Ones during the War in Heaven as the 'Krork') is a self-sustaining fungal ecosystem married to animal musculature. Every time an Ork is wounded or killed, its skin releases thousands of microscopic fungal spores that take root underground: first sprouting squiggly fungi, then Snotlings, then Gretchin to build settlements, and finally full-grown Orks. Even more miraculously, the Old Ones encoded all technical, metallurgical, and warp-field engineering knowledge directly into Ork DNA—activated in 'Mekboyz' and 'Painboyz' whenever the psychic 'Waaagh!' gestalt field reaches critical mass.
