When it stirs, the Earth trembles.Template:Sfn The word "Indrik" is a distorted version of the Russian word for unicorn (Template:Langx).[1] It is described as a gigantic bull with legs of a deer, the head of a horse and an enormous horn in its snout, making it vaguely similar to a rhinoceros.

The Russian folkloric creature gives its name to a synonym of Paraceratherium, Indricotherium, the biggest land mammal ever to live.
