Mongolian Deathworm


The Mongolian Death Worm is a cryptid purported to exist in the Gobi Desrt. It is generally considered a cryptozoological creature; one whose sightings and reports are disputed or unconfirmed. It is described as a bright red worm with a wide body that is 0.6 to 1.5 meters (2 to 5 feet) long. In general, scientists reject the possibility that such mega-fauna cryptids exist, because of the improbably large numbers necessary to maintain a breeding population and because climate and food supply issues make their survival in reported habitats unlikely.

The local name is allghoi (or orghoi) khorkhoy (хорхой), which means "blood filled intestine worm" because it is reported to look like the intestine of a cow. It is the subject of a number of extraordinary claims by Mongolian locals—such as the ability of the worm to spew forth Sulfuric Acid that, on contact, will turn anything it touches yellow and corroded (which would kill a human), and its purported ability to kill at a distance by means of electric discharge.

Basically i will be dicussing whether this worm is real or not so people are free to join in and comment as they please. The topic of the discussion can change to anything from whether its possible for the worm to exist or what you would do with the worm if it was your pet.

Theres a show with a episode of the death worm with a similar story. Two guys named brandom and i think michael. They were doing the gobi 500 race and it got dark with michaels bick out of gas. Soon michael felt a bump under the ground then 5 minutes later got spit on his leg and bike. The spit was acidic and later Bradnom tried to leave him for help,soon there were maybe 5 Death worms on em chocking em. Soon when the race ended they never found the bodies but only the footage not even bothering to check the burrows near the bodies. The show is called Lost Taped look it up on netflix for jersey devil loch ness and others

I saw a video tape, I am not sure whether or not its true, but two people went on a bike rid ein the desert, one of the people fell of their bike and broke their leg. P.S. they had all of this recorded when it actually happened. The other person left the friend with the broken leg to get help. The friend with the broken leg was left in the dark and only had the video camera. At the end you see the sand moving, but in a way where something just under the surface was coming towards someone who was defenseless, they could barely move. At the end you see a worm like thing, I think it spit something and the girl screamed. Then it ended.
