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

''"Even when tamed, Sandworms still are obligate carnivores, and their second distinctive feature that appears in the upgraded version of the unit is a vivid display of their bloodthirsty nature. If an Olgoi-Khorkhoi moves to a hex occupied by a corpse, then, when emerging from the ground, it will devour this corpse and get an extra strike when attacking in the next round; such strikes can stack, too. It is also possible to eat a corpse and attack all in one turn, if the corpse is positioned right next to the target."{{-}}<sup>[http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=39830&PID=1533805#focus HotA Heroes Community post.]''</sup>

== Special abilities==
====Immune to [[blind]] and [[petrification]]====
Like [[Troglodyte]]s, Sandworms and Olgoi-Khorkhois are immune to vision-based abilities.

====Burrowing====
Burrowing is a special movement type. In most cases, it is functionally identical to [[Flying]]. However, on certain battlefields - namely combat on a [[Boat]], [[Airship]] or on [[Magic Clouds]] - Sandworms and Olgoi-Khorkhois cannot burrow. In this case, they instead act like regular walking creatures, although they suffer no [[speed]] penalty.

====Devour Corpses====
[[File:Devour.png]] Olgoi-Khorkhois can be ordered to devour any [[Corpse (combat)|corpse]] ([[Undead]]/[[Unliving]] included) 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-Khorkhoi can stack up an unlimited number of additional strikes. After a normal Olgoi-Khorkhois' attack, if the target is still alive it retaliates (if possible), and then bonus strikes start (spending them one by one). If target dies soon enough leftover of bonus strikes stays unspent.

Olgoi-Khorkhoi can also devour corpses during their attack, as long as the hex they attack from (the one closer to the enemy, where the front of their body moves to during the attack animation) contains at least one corpse. Olghoi-Khorkhois can use up their new strikes on the same turn they received them. 

Olgoi-Khorkhois' multiple retaliations (with [[Counterstrike]]) don't spend bonus strikes.

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

{{user commentary|
The name "Olgoi-Khorkoi" is taken after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_death_worm Mongolian death worm].

Statistically, both Sandworms and Olgoi-Khorkoi are among the best of Level 5 creatures. Of all non-upgraded, faction-bound creatures, Sandworms have the second-highest attack (after [[Minotaurs]]) and third-highest defense (after [[Pit Fiends]] and [[Gorgons]]). Both damage range and and HP are above average. Sandworms are also the fastest non-upgraded level 5 unit with speed of 8. Their biggest issue is their rather high cost, as the same amount of gold can also buy [[Minotaur Kings]], which are statistically better and equally fast.

Upgrading to Olgoi-Khorkoi increases attack and speed by +2 and HP by +10. Olgoi-Khorkoi have the highest attack skill together with Minotaur Kings and are third fastest Level 5 unit after [[Thunderbirds]] and [[Master Genies]]. Their health equals with Rocs and Thunderbirds, and is only shadowed by [[Dendroid Soldiers]], [[Gorgon and Mighty Gorgon|Gorgons and Mighty Gorgons]]. Their high cost remains issue, as Olgoi-Khorkoi are the third most expensive Level 5 unit after [[Pit Lords]] and Thunderbirds. Their defence remains only average compared to other upgraded peers.

Their specialities are very good. Both have unique moving style "burrowing", which technically makes them flying units (as long as the combat does not take place within a [[boat]], [[airship]] or a magical terrain, such as [[Cursed Ground]]) and share a similar immunity to [[Blind]] and [[Petrify]] as [[Troglodyte and Infernal Troglodyte|Troglodytes]] do. Olgoi-Khorkoi also have an ability to devour any corpse on battlefield, giving it extra strikes for each devoured corpse. This can also be used to counter against an enemy who tends to use [[Resurrection]]. Be careful, as you may also devour your own troops, thus preventing them from being resurrected any longer! Olgoi-Khorkoi delivers as much attacks as possible or needed to kill a troop when attacking: try drawing retaliation from a target by using another troop before unleashing Olgoi-Khorkoi to bombard the unfortunate target with its several attacks.
