Grom the Paunch

Grom the Paunch is a Legendary Lord unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Warden and the Paunch DLC. In the campaign, he leads the .
== Description ==
Grom the Paunch is a huge and powerful lump of a Goblin Warboss, a superlatively-sized individual whose looming presence and ferocity make him a living god amongst other Goblins. His prodigious size was caused by him once having consumed a portion of uncooked Troll meat, an act of gluttony that means he must relentlessly eat copious amounts of food to keep constantly digesting the regenerating flesh lest his massive, protruding belly eventually bursts. It is said that Grom has not seen his legs since consuming the foul meat, yet his frightening size means that he no longer needs to and can, instead, order others to see them for him if he wishes. Following countless successful raids across the Old World, his grandiose reputation has grown as much as his bloated frame. In the past, Grom’s Waaagh! had seen hundreds of different Greenskin tribes flock to his standard, held aloft by his Night Goblin standard-bearer, Niblet. In battle, the self-styled Goblin King often rides with his attendants upon a chariot suitably sized for his expansive proportions, charging into battle with devasting momentum only achievable due to his obscene weight.
