Mongolian Death Worm: The Desert Killer
The Intestine of the Gobi
The Olgoi-Khorkhoi ("Large Intestine Worm") is the terror of the Gobi Desert. It is perhaps the most dangerous cryptid on the planet. Described by nomads for centuries, it is a thick, sausage-like creature, blood-red in color, measuring 2 to 5 feet long. It has no visible face, eyes, or mouth. It looks like a cow's intestine that has gained sentience. It hibernates for most of the year, emerging only during the hottest months (June and July) or after rare rains.
Biological Artillery
The Death Worm does not need to bite you. It is a ranged unit. It possesses two distinct kill mechanisms:
- Corrosive Venom: It can spray a stream of yellow acid that instantly corrodes metal and dissolves human flesh.
- Bio-Electricity: Even stranger, it can generate a massive electrical discharge (like an oversized electric eel) capable of killing a camel or a man from several feet away.
The Search
Despite numerous expeditions by Czech and Western cryptozoologists, no specimen has been captured. Many link the legend to the Tartar Sand Boa, which looks similar but isn't poisonous. However, the specificity of the "electricity" claim suggests something unique.
The Warning
The Gobi is vast and empty. Nomads will refuse to enter areas where the worm has been sighted. They know the signs of the killer beneath the dunes.
The Final Warning
The Gobi is vast and empty. Nomads will refuse to enter areas where the worm has been sighted. They know the signs of the killer beneath the dunes. If the ground trembles and the sand turns the color of blood, do not set up camp, and watch where you step.
