They are supposed to be grown from spores, so what use are ork nipples?

So they can be milked, obviously.
I have nipples, Greg.
“I have nipples, Grelnak, can you milk me? It may sound like sarcasm, but it’s a genuine request. I’m getting quite swollen”
This one right here, commissar.
Well they’re an evolutionarily manufactured race, so likely the base template had them originally but post intervention they remained as a vestigial organ.
So… A lazy creator? That tracks.
I mean, what exactly would be the point of dedicating the effort to removing them?
Fair point. GW is notorious for the least effort possible, and then clawing for more from their willfully blithe fanbase. 🤷🏽♂️
Lore hasn’t clarified it officially but I suspect their nipples are just a specialized form of squig.
Boring answer:Because it’s a game made by humans. Same reason the na’vi from avatar have boobs.
What use are nipples on males?
Lick one and find out
Hmmm. Can’t say I’ve licked one personally, but I see what you’re seeing. I guess I meant an actual use for them. More of a rhetorical question I guess.
I guess I meant an actual use for them.
Licking is an actual use.
It is. I wasn’t being specific enough, sorry. Actual use in terms of evolutionary fitness. There are no reasons for them evolutionarily other than they are a byproduct of fetal development.
Anything that makes people hornier and more likely to procreate is an evolutionary advantage.
I suppose you’re right. It’s not just things that help things live longer or thrive in a specific environment.
That’s the thing with natural selection though, as long as a trait isn’t deleterious and it’s common enough it’ll generally stick around. There’s no pressure for males to not have nipples.
Totally agree with your point. But it’s also not something that will actively promote fitness.
Doesn’t matter. There’s no reason to not have nipples, and going down the evolution rabbit hole to change that isn’t worth the random mutations that are more likely to just straight up kill males during development or something. In biology fitness just means the ability to successfully reproduce, not actually who’s stronger or more efficient. Your entire body is built on the concept of, “good enough to get the job done.”
Because males were females until the right amount of chemicals were introduced to the fetus. Take enough estrogen and males can produce milk and no longer have useless nipples.
They actually are capable of producing a small amount of milk, it’s just that doing that requires so much effort for so little reward that feeding babies became the mother’s job after a few thousand generations of mammals being a thing.
They have been engineered by the Old Ones. So I’m just gonna assume, they didn’t think of that when the Necron and C’tan came knocking on their doors.
psychological warfare. First thing the Necron & C’tan did in battle was hesitate thinking, “wtf? do those monsters have nipples?”
Causing a couple of circuits to burn out. Kickstarting the Flayed Ones.
I am adapting this as headcanon now.
Where do you think orc milk comes from?
Same place you get bull milk.
With that consistency I think the milk spoiled.
Maybe they’re not mammal nipples, but happen to look like it.
Is there a lore reason why that mushroom has a nipple?
I mean, human men have nipples and there’s no use for them there either. Evolution doesn’t get rid of things because they aren’t useful anymore, it only gets rid of things when they become detrimental to the survival of the species.
Orkz didn’t evolve though, they’re an engineered species.
Human men have nipples because human women have nipples and human men having nipples doesn’t significantly impair human men.
Nipples are sensitive and sensitive things can help with arousal and reproduction. That makes them useful for the population in general, even if not everyone is into it.
For the same reason why some of the Necrons have nipples: intimidation.
Do Ork nipples also cut glass?
No. For Orks, it’s all about size and color.
Boss color iz yella, but yella nipple iz not lucky. Yella nipple iz most shot nipple. Iz mostly scar tissue now. Still yella.
Which Ork models have nipples?
I can’t say my knowledge of the current range is exhaustive, but I can’t think of a single model that has one from the 1998 - 2016 era. There’s a runtherd with a piercing where a nipple would be, but no nipple.
If Batman and Robin can have nipples, orks can have nipples too!
what if the spores get thirsty?
