Cybork

Cyborks are Orks that have received significant cybernetic modifications to their bodies. Equivalent to a human cyborg, a Cybork is an inseparable mass of Orkoid and technology. This transformation comes by way of the Mad Dok, the crazy Ork "Doctors" that supposedly "heal" other Orks. Most Cyborks are created when they are too wounded to run away at the moment that a crazy Dok appears after a battle or when an ordinary Ork comes in to the Dok's office with any ailment, from a toothache to a gunshot wound to the head. Doks, being the insane Orks that they are, add cybernetic parts for better shootin', stompin', or just plain smashin'! The final result is either a dead Ork or a potent cybernetic monster. Cyborks continue to fight at the command of their Creator... or rather, they would if the additional and greatly feared Squig Brain Transplant did not usually give them the mental capacity of a cabbage (which may actually be an improvement for some Orks). As it happens, Mad Doks just sort of hope that their Cyborks will all meander onto a battlefield, and happen to kill something that is not actually another Ork.
