Far away in the Mongolia live a predator who didn't look friendly. Also called intestine worm, the Mongolian Death Worm (Allghoi Khorkhoi) is really cruel. It's a red worm that can kill a dog, a man or even a camel without trouble. But it's way to kill isn't well known. Many says that it's with a powerful poison, but some other think that electricity's the arm of the beast. It's not easy to see it because it prefer to go out of the ground after rain (something rare in Mongolia). Whrn it do so, it stay out 1 to 4 days before to return in the ground.
The sightings of this creatures are pretty rare. The bests informations about it are from Ivan Mackerle, a czech searcher who looked for it in Mongolia, without success. Even if he doesn't saw the creature, he got some reports of sightings from the people who lived there. But they're rare, because of the rarity of the monster and because of the fear of the people to talk of it. They fear a malediction. Here are some sightings:
A 70 years old lady from Gurvantes, living her retirance in Ulan-Bator said: "I saw the worm when I was young [...]. It was dark red, from about a half meter long and was like reduced at the ends. It was stretch on the sand and when I started to move, I realized that it was an Allghoi Khorkhoi. My parents always warned me that it could make squirt it's poison to a distance near from the width of a 5 segments yourte, so thats why I ran away."
A more horrible story was told by Khamgalagu, guide of the Mackerle expedition. He sais that the worm look like a cow intestine. He said that it's color is dark red, and it's hard to tell which side is it's head and which side is it's tail, because it doesn't have mouth, eyes or anything else to distinct the sides. The creature move by rolling in the ground and really like the yellow color.
The guide explained how this yellow attirance was fatal to a young boy of the region, who had the habit to store it's toys in a yellow box in the yourte of their parents. One day, an Allghoi Khorkhoi entered in the box and when the young kid touched it to take a toy, he died. When it's parents, who were gone when it happened, came back to home, they only found the trace of the worm. They followed it, but both were killed by the monster.
Is this a big legend, or a undiscovered worm specie? We are still waiting for the proof...
