The Mongolian Death Worm is said to be a flat, reddish worm, known as "allghoi khorkhoi" (blood filled intestine worm), that has reportedly been found in the Gobi Desert. The worm can spit a fatal, acidic, yellowish liquid and can kill from a distance by electrocution. It was first mentioned in the 1926 book On the Trail of Ancient Man but there is no evidence to confirm the existence of the Mongolian Death Worm.
