Investigations turn up empty handed but there is still the fear and terror over the Mongolian Death Worm. The Mongolian Death Worm has a reputation for being incredibly venomous and deadly. It is also called the “intestine worm” because of its look even though it is not an internal parasite. The Mongolian Death Worm is a creature known for its killings but there is credible and non-credible information out there on its existence. My belief on this cryptid is that the Mongolian Death Worm is non-existent.
Is the deathworm even a worm? Scientist say that the Mongolian Death Worm may not even be a worm because worms can not survive in such an environment as the Gobi Desert. They need moisture in order to continue living. Eyewitness accounts are numerous and frequent with the sightings of the deathworm. Cryptozoologists and scientists spent months in the Gobi Desert but there were no sightings of the worm. Lead researcher, Richard Freeman, said, “Every eyewitness account and story we have heard describes exactly the same thing: a red-brown worm-like snake, approximately two feet long and two inches thick with no discernable head or back .”
Even though eyewitness accounts are numerous and frequent, there are several aspects of the Mongolian Death Worm that make it unbelievable. Stories from eyewitnesses say that this creature can kill its prey from several feet away. It is also believed to be like a rattlesnake in the way that they can kill a human by biting their footprint. It is said that if a rattlesnake bits the impression of your foot print left in the sand, it will kill you. Its only supernatural characteristic supposedly is that it can kill from a distance without spraying its venom.
My belief on the Mongolian Death Worm is that it is non-existent. Not one has been found to prove its existence and put an end to the terror it causes. The non-believable information that I found helps me not to believe in it. Also the fact that it can not survive in such an environment as the Gobi Desert. Therefore, my belief in this cryptid has not changed.
