Painboyz are the Ork equivalent of medics, doctors and surgeons. Together with Runtherds, Mekaniaks and Weirdboyz they belong to the caste of Orks collectively known as Oddboyz. In the case of Painboyz, their eccentricity takes the form of a fascination with pain, wounds and surgery. A knack for using a saw, blowtorch or pliers is often enough to encourage a Doc to adopt a promising young Ork and train him in the art and craft of the Painboy.

Dreggrod Ugbad is a verteran Painboy, who lost scores of Orks in battle - that is why everyone on the Waaagh! trusts him, he has seen it all. If he cannot heal a wound, then nobody can. He is accompanied by his trusted assistant Snagaarg, who takes care to not clean the instruments too well, after all they must look like his master is constantly in business!
