This animal is so secretive that it still manages to avoid photographers, but the locals know that it exists, hiding in the darkness, preparing to inflict a single, but fatal blow on an accidental victim. They call him olgoy-khorkha.
Eyewitnesses report that it looks like a dark red worm, two to five feet in length. A special place in his diet is occupied by cows, in which he shoots out yellow saliva-acid, and those who are unlucky enough to get too close to him can also receive an electric shock, strong enough to kill a camel … or a person.
For the first time, American paleontologist Professor Roy Chapman Andrews spoke about olgoi-khorkhoi (lat. Allghoi khorkhoi) in his book "In the Footsteps of Ancient Man" in 1926, but it did not seem that he himself believed in it. Just a few years ago, in 2005, a group of English scientists and cryptozoologists spent a month in the perilous Gobi desert in search of the legendary creature, but despite the fact that many local residents were interviewed, none of them could say that they had seen the olgoi-khorhoi personally.
Still, in those four weeks, the team collected enough evidence to be sure that this worm really exists. Principal Investigator, Richard Freeman, said: "Every description of a personal sighting of a creature, every story, describes an olgoi-horhoi with astonishing accuracy: a reddish-brown worm-like snake, two feet long, two inches thick, no apparent difference between head and tail."
And today a self-taught cryptozoologist Ivan Makerl is traveling in the desert. As a boy, he was read by the Russian paleontologist Efremov, who wrote about this worm, capable of mysteriously killing people from a considerable distance, either with poison or with an electric shock.
“At first I thought it was just fiction,” says Mackerl. - But when I was at the university, there was a student from Mongolia in our class and I asked him: Do you know anything about olgo-khorhoi? I thought he would laugh in my face and say nothing, but he bent down, as if intending to tell a terrible secret, and said: I know. A very strange creature."

So does the olgoy-khorhoi exist and what if so? This will still have to be figured out, but remember, if one day you want to rush into the Gobi desert in search of him - do not dress in yellow. This color is rumored to attract our wrinkled friend the best. And do not say later that we did not warn you.
