In Russian folklore, the Indrik-Beast (Russian: Индрик-зверь, transliteration: Indrik zver' ) is a fabulous beast, the king of all animals, who lives on a mountain known as "The Holy Mountain" where no other foot may tread. When it stirs, the Earth trembles. The word "Indrik" is a distorted version of the Russian word edinorog (unicorn)."[1] The Indrik is described as a gigantic bull with a head of a horse, and an enormous horn in his snout. The Russian folklore creature gives its name to Indricotherium, the biggest land mammal ever to live.
