Squig Hoppers
When cave squigs are fed a prepared concoction of puffballs and hops mushroom, they become bloated with stomach gases, giving them a surprising amount of buoyancy. This unpleasant experience also makes them particularly cranky and ferocious, which makes it all the more surprising that the craziest grots have chosen to ride these hopping orb-beasts into battle.
No one is sure which maniac first decided to ride a Squig, but countless Grots have been devoured for their troubles since. However, the luckiest or the most insane manage to persevere, and through their suicidal determination the Moonclan Scraps win the deployment of a remarkably effective cavalry.
Squig Hoppers are held in awe by the majority of the Moonclan grots, who gather to hear their (largely fictional) tales of daredevil tales whenever the opportunity arises. In truth, the hoppers truly cling to their lives, attempting to steer their unpredictable steeds into the enemy, where the creatures' snapping jaws and ripping claws will make short work of anyone unfortunate enough to stand in their way .
