Hrud: "Where are we now?" Malal: "Welcome to the retconia where all things erased from canon end up." Hrud: "WHAT!?" Malal: "Yeah your space rat aesthetic doesn't mesh with the rest of the Skaven. So they dumped you in here." Hrud: "That is bull$%&#" Malal: "Welcome to the club pal."
I like to think that, the moment the Skaven left, the scary hrud dropped the act and called GW to complain about being placed on a team with literal talking rats.
Honestly, I like to believe that the only reason why the Skaven were called Hrud in early lore was just due to the inquisition or the adminastratum (or both) mixing the names of the species. Let's be real that wouldn't be their worse F up by a long shot
Imagine a bunch of Imperial Guards being sent to fight Hrud, thinking its just gonna be a bunch of rat-xenos when suddenly their hair turns white and theyre too weak to hold their own lasguns.
Can't forget the time they accidentally assigned a blood angels successor chapter to the ultra Marines and no one knew until Dante was like "Huh, you guys smell a lot like blood angels... Do you happen to get angrier than a world eater and see Horus everywhere sometimes?" and then the successor chapter proceeds to collectively go "Ohhhhhh...."
That is actually kinda canon. The Galgs are a T'au auxilary race, that were identified as large, barrel-chested frog-men, and instead turned out to be large, tentacled, faceless squid/jellyfish beings.
Hrud are one of the most underrated things of wh40k. The time itself is their bitch. They can literally time reverse meatballs into animals they were made off, easily. Absolutely fucking terrifying.
I wonder if a poor guardsmen was misinformed about the Hrud. Guardsmen:"Can't wait to purge these rodents back into the ground where they belong!" 15 minutes later: "THEIR NOT RATS. THEIR NOT RATS!"
Most don't know this but this is actually in character for skaven. The skaven have the speach tic on purpose, they do it deliberately and on purpose to "prove" that they are superior because they can even "improve" other races languages. They are doing the redundant double word speak consciously and on purpose to masturbate their own narcissistic ego because they think its proof of their superiority. These are the same ratkin that tried to blow up one of the moons so that it would rain warpstone down on the world. Skaven are insane. Thats why we love them.
"No, listen. We just aren't cut out for this setting. Out *allies* freak us out. We aren't going to last 10 minutes up here. Plus, Lokka just found out about the Dark Eldar and he's been throwing up for last hour or so."

I'm not sure what's funnier about the license. The fact they use a Hawaii drivers license, the implication that Koluj is around 440 years old, the fact that the license is only good for 9 years, the fact that the planet's dmv actually licensed Koluj, or that it uses day month year for the dates.
Well the thing with those... things is that they can mess with time and space. Like in one book with Iron Warriors they had that special power to change age of stuff around them, so they could make people puff into smoke from rapid aging, turning a servitor back in time to when he was a normal human, heck those things proved that Space Marines can actually die from old age (that last one is funny, becouse it took couple of minutes in real time to kill a space marine, meaning those guys can live for thousands of years).
Skaven voices are a warm balm to my soul. I was thinking over the last week, "When will he do it again?" and sure enough, you didn't let me down. I love it when these guys show up. The Hrud thing I didn't know about, but that just made it funnier.
And did it make him realize that he lives in a profoundly surreal universe where such things can happen and he should really be less of a spiteful ass? Nah. But it did inspire him to kick Fulgrim in the balls instead of smashing his head into a table.

Okay, I thought a funny sound was coming out of my throat, but NO! NO! They're actually censoring the F-Word with RAT SQUEAKS! THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!
This video alone makes me wish we got 40k Skaven and Hurd armies, the Skaven obviously being shaven (a horde army who’s infantry is worth 32 cents per dozen soldiers and uses a lot of warp-based ranged weapon tech) and The Hrud, who’s whole gimmick and theme are Bloodborne type Eldritch beings who can manipulate time to the nth degree.
I, Alpharius Omegon, am still waiting at the store the meatballs to give to the Hrud so they may begin their plan… hmm been waiting here a while… 5 more minutes…
Lmao, the speech impediment drops when shit gets real-real. This might be the best excuse I've seen for why hrud got cut. They clearly saw what was coming and noped out like proper rat-kin.
You can tell both are Hrud, and one isn't Skaven. Why? Because if they were Skaven with their short lifespans, they'd have been turned into dessicated corpses the moment the retcon Hrud was in the same room with them.
