Greasus Goldtooth, the mightiest Ogre Tyrant in the world of Total War: Warhammer 3, is now not only the fattest Ogre in the game, but also the fastest. Today’s update 4.1 has accidentally increased the Legendary Lord’s speed attribute up to 400 and the result of this mistake is absolutely hilarious.

Usually, the character’s speed attribute is a mere 40, so someone at Creative Assembly seems to have mistakenly added another zero at the end there.

Players have already been posting videos showing Greasus zooming around the battlefield at top speed. It’s all the funnier as the Ogre’s model in the game shows him laying on a wheeled wood platform pushed by tiny Gnoblars, a species serving the Ogres as servants and cannon fodder.

Whatever Greasus fed his personal Gnoblar attendants, it seems to be working. Or perhaps this is Greasus himself propelling the wheeled platform forward with the gas he’s producing from all his feasting?

If you want to use speedy Greasus yourself, you best be quick about it, because the developers have already noticed the issue and this seems to be an easy and quick fix to push out. “Thanks for flagging! Greasus Lightning has evaded us this time... We have it logged,” a CA community manager wrote.

The Ogres are a corpulent and relatively slow-moving race in this grimdark fantasy world. They are known for eating basically anything and everything and having as big a belly as possible is a sign of strength and status in their society. Greasus is both a mighty warrior and a cunning merchant, and his wealth has allowed him to get the biggest belly of them all.

Fresh bugs being introduced by a new patch happens all the time in Total War: Warhammer 3, but at least in this case it’s a pretty hilarious one.
