Dretch

These large porcine-like humanoid creatures are fat, ugly, and dumb. Whether or not they were as such before their corruption is unknown, as the written word means little to the dretch. As such, the Black Order has employed them primarily as slave-laborers. Countless dretch serve across hundreds of worlds, toiling endlessly in blackened foundries, producing weapons of war, and extracting resources for the Order.

Dretch are hardy creatures; their thick hides are capable of turning away iron and weathering harsh elements. Those who show a modicum of intelligence are instead press-ganged into gladiatorial arenas, with the survivors being formed into shock teams.
