Mongolian Death Worm

Base Card

The Mongolian Death Worm is a large, dangerous, acid-spitting creature alleged to roam the Gobi Desert in Northern China and Southern Mongolia.

Some literature states that the oversized worm travels in tunnels underground, kills at a distance with a venom spray, and can emit an electric discharge.

NOTABLE FACTS

  • Also known as Olgoi-Khorkhoi by nomads of the Gobi, the Mongolian Death Worm is described to be 2-7 feet long and can spit deadly corrosive acid while generating a powerful electrical blast.
  • In the early 1990s a group of scientists tried to hunt the worm using small explosives and handmade “thumpers” after they were inspired by the series, Dune by Frank Herbert. They were unsuccessful.
  • The Tartar Sand Boa is a snake that is often confused for the Mongolian Death Worm. Sightings are almost all written off as a case of mistaken identity.
