Olgoi Horhoi

Worms, also known as Olgoi Horhoi – are beasts of great size. They can easily fit a boat in their mandibles and are as long as a tree trunk. They may seem like mindless monsters, but there is more to the story. There is some intelligence, a hidden mind slumbering in that enormous mass of dagger-like teeth and foul flesh. Other creatures may not fully understand it, but they feel a Worm’s presence, they feel its pressing will – as if Tartarus whispers through its children.
Wherever there is a Worm, there is also a mangus. Although such an alliance seems at first glance unobvious, it would be difficult for a great-in-size mangus to survive in an underground environment without the help of overgrown burrowing worms. This connection manifests itself in the almost sacred respect from Mangus to the Worms, which can only be overshadowed by their fanaticism for the Great Pit. Mangus bow and greet worms much like their own kinsmen and celebrate their attainment of old age.
At the same time, worms are by no means pets of mangus, they are independent of them and are not in anyone's keeping. This relationship can be compared to that one of drakes and lizards, although in the case of mangus and worms, this it has truly reached the level of symbiosis.
Worms play a key role in organizing logistics for the Mandate's rather slow-moving armies, creating paths under- and on-ground, sweeping away (and devouring) any obstacles. In addition, they can be used for aggressive maneuvers, breaking holes in the enemy's defenses for creatures more adapted for war.
