Squig Herds are essentially herds of captured Cave Squig forced into combat by a team of Night Goblins. Incensed to be out of their protective holes, Squigs become ever more ferocious when out in the open. To ensure the rotund beasts wanddle in the correct direction, Night Goblins employ probbers, pitchforks, gongs, or skrittle-barkers. This array of stabs, bright lights and clanging keeps the Squig moving in the right direction and also to keep them away from their handlers and to make them angry. With their iron-breaking bite, Cave Squigs can do major damage, and after all that irritating poking, they are more than ready to do so. The Night Goblins chip in by stabbing over the top of the bounding beasts when they can.[1a]
