Under Skarsnik's leadership, the Crooked Moon Tribe became the most important tribe within Karak Eight Peaks. He is remarkably cunning and is constantly luring the Dwarfs into ambush after ambush. When the Dwarfs try to enter or leave the stronghold, he hunts them down and hangs their beard scalps on long poles within sight of the citadel walls.
Since the Dwarfs have returned to occupy their ancient hold, Skarsnik has virtually kept the Dwarfs prisoner within their tiny citadel.
In the following Battle of East Gate, Skarsnik was able to also wipe out about half of the dwarf troops, but the other half managed to get into the citadel hold of Karak Eight Peaks. One of his greatest exploits was during the year 2498 IC, where his Crooked Moon Tribe ambushed a Dwarf army crossing the treacherous valley known as Mad Dog Pass, which later became known as the Battle of the Jaws, named after the greenskin formations that enclosed upon the surrounded dwarfs. Possessing an intellect and cunning strategic ability, Skarsnik has been able to execute precision ambushes and form his masses of goblins into actual fighting formations. Skarsnak has effectively and efficiently seized control of the ruined Dwarf Hold known as Karak Eight Peaks, and is recognized by even the Orc Tribes of the region as its overlord.
