== Special abilities==
== Special Ability: Devours corpses for additional strikes ==
====Immune to [[blind]] and [[petrification]]====
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>
Like [[Troglodyte]]s, Sandworms and Olgoi-Khorkhois are immune to vision-based abilities.
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. ''Idea of sacrificing several Halflings was never planted in my brain by the God Emperor of Dune, no.'' On mouse hover interface will show you how many corpses will be devoured on that specific hex.<br>
 
Count of additional strikes is not visible during other creatures turns, only when Olgoi-Khorkhoi's turn comes again hovering over some target will show that in the tip.<br>
====Burrowing====
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>
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.
Death of Olgoi-Khorkhoi stack does not reset the bonus strikes count. After [[Resurrection]] it'll be there.
 
====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.
