It's somewhere in the new sticky thread for WotC information. The guy who is from WotC said both thigns I said above. I'm not sure what page, around 10 maybe?

But we've known from the collector's guide that Wave 8 already had Marro Cavalry ... ?

Or is the news that what they're riding are named GRoks?

Yes, it's the GRok name that's new.

That info was actually already revealed at some point. I already knew that they were called GRok riders (especially since I remembered the weird capitalization) but unfortunately I can't remember where I heard it from.

How do we know that's not just a typo? The former copy editor in me is going to be unreasonably bothered if it's really GRok and not just Grok.

Kenjib said he has seen "GRok" before and it was repeated today so it seems intentional.

I'm with Sherman. I think everyone's been quoting the same source.
