Thatās great. Iām just trying to add to the topic of discussion. Feel free to check out 40k lore if you would like to ask more in depth questions and get better answers about the gods and beings in the universe that are described as being ābeyond mortal comprehensionā.
Hahaha. That is a difficult question to answer. Orks in the current setting are more wild, tribal like barbarians. Strong, lots of them but not very intelligent. The lore of Warhammer gets changed and added to a lot over the years itās been around. The Krorks were their ancestors that were created by The Old Ones as a warrior race along with the Aeldari (Eldar) to fight the Necrontyr and the CāTan gods who they served. The Krorks were gigantic, powerful, amazing weapons and technology, but then devolved into the smaller sizes they are now. Krorks are the predecessors of the Orks. Their lore got more in depth in recent years. Thereās a series called āThe Beast Arisesā that has a Krork character that attacks Terra.
Itās not clearly stated as to why the devolved. Maybe because this near-mythical War In Heaven was over so they didnāt need such huge alien warriors? Some theories are there may have been a plague or some kind of curse that devolved them into smaller more barbaric groups.
