Olgoi-Khorkhoi can be ordered to devour any (your own as well) corpse on the battlefield (in range of regular movement) instead of a regular attack/move. Olgoi-Khorkhoi receives a bonus strike after this. Just like [[Crusader]], [[Wolf Raider]] or alike with their [[Double attack]]. But with a twist. Good thing: devouring additional corpses will grant more bonus strikes. Bad thing: actually delivering those additional strikes spends them, they do not "stick" for the rest of the combat. Olgoi-Khorkhoi can only potentially deliver as many additional strikes as many corpses it devoured.<br>

It is possible to devour multiple corpses at once if they happen to stack on one hex. Especially easy to do with your own creatures obviously.

Special tactics should most likely be applied to get the most out of this ability. Like raiding corpses behind the main battle to later unleash a devastating one-round assault upon some heavy retaliator. Just striking every round instead of spending action for devour might be more beneficial. Some things to factor in: retaliation risks vs leaving more enemies alive for longer; preventing a valuable enemy corpse from being resurrected/demon-summoned without body-blocking.<br>
 
Death of Olgoi-Khorkhoi stack does not reset the bonus strikes count. After [[Resurrection]] it'll be there.
If the Olgoi-Khorkhoi dies, the bonus strikes count does not reset. If the stack is Resurrected, all accumulated bonus strikes will still be available.

Sandworms and Olgoi-Khorkhois are level 5 creatures of Factory. They are recruited from the Catacombs.

Heroes with a specialty

  • Agar Agar the Artificer has Sandworms as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any Sandworms or Olgoi-Khorkhois for each level attained after 5th level, and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

Special Ability: Devours corpses for additional strikes

Olgoi-Khorkhois can be ordered to devour any corpse on the battlefield in range of regular movement instead of a regular attack/move, receiving a bonus strike on their next attack after this and preventing the devoured corpse from being interacted with (for Resurrection or Summon demons). Olgoi-Khorkhois can stack up an unlimited number of additional strikes, however all bonus attacks will be consumed by their next attack whether or not all attacks were successfully performed.

It is possible to devour multiple corpses at once if they happen to stack on one hex. The mouse hover interface will show how many corpses will be devoured on that specific hex.

If the Olgoi-Khorkhoi dies, the bonus strikes count does not reset. If the stack is Resurrected, all accumulated bonus strikes will still be available.
