The Wretch are Ormr-looking pest creatures introduced in God of War: Ragnarök.
Description[]
Wretch's appearance are small and tiny arms with tadpole-like tails, they are similar to Ormrs but more aggressive. Wretches is usually found in Svartalfheim and Jotunheim. Unlike most beasts, Wretches are far smaller and easier to kill. However, it can also make it more difficult to hit them. Wretches usually attack in groups using either physical attacks or poisonous attacks.
Occasionally, Wretches nests appear which need to be destroyed to prevent Wretches from spawning. Bergsra Mothers are also capable of spawning wretches from the holes in its bloated body.
Wretches are the babies of the species if any grow they turn into Grims then it they reach adult hood they become Bergsras.

Wretch[]
Oh, how I'd jump at the chance to smash these little blighters with a well-aimed hoof. The stench they give off rivals a Troll's bonch, and then some. On their own, they may seem an easy foe, but rarely are they seen without companions. A pack of Wretches will quickly overwhelm even the strongest of enemies. Wretches thrive in wetlands. Find any body of water and they'll likely be nearby, basking in mud and filth, not doing any favours to their already unique scent. You'll need to be quick on your feet during an encounter with a Wretch of any kind... and watch the teeth!
Exploding Wretch[]
Could Wretches get worse? They already have, unfortunately. The stench they emanate not only comes from the environment they keep themselves, but also from within. A collection of gasses they use to grow up into a Grim, and then into a big, strong bergsra, to be precise. However, when some of the gasses react to others too quickly, whether brought on by panic, or anger, or some other unknown reason, the little Wretch will, erm, expand... and moments later explode. Best avoid those or kick them into other enemies so they might find some purpose in their miserable little lives.
Wild Wretch[]
Parasites, the lot of them. Gifted with several rows of tiny teeth which makes it easy to attach onto a victim and suck away at their life force in a snap. Multiply that when several attach on at once, and anyone would be downed in moments. What possesses these Wretches to enjoy this particular form of annoyance is beyond me. Logic tells they must serve some role in the ecosystem of their home environs of their home environs, but that seem too generous to grant these malevolent buggers.
Types of Wretch[]
