Indrik

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 Saint Mountain" where no other foot may tread. When he stirs, the Earth trembles. The word "Indrik" is a distorted version of the word "unicorn".

The Russian folklore creature gives its name to "Indricotherium", the biggest land mammal ever to live.
