Summary

Today we look at one of the grosser and more unsettling phenomena we've ever turned our gaze towards, the Mongolian Death Worm! Often described as having the appearance of a long intestine overflowing with blood, whose movements are almost always characterized by 'writhing' or 'wriggling', it's no wonder we almost couldn't make it through this one. We'll take you on a grand adventure through time in the Gobi Desert, that funhouse of horrors deep in Mongolia. We'll explore the most important people connected with the Worm, this Olgoi-Khorkhoi, as we make our own expedition to get to the bottom of what's really going on around here. We hope you'll enjoy!

But yeah, cryptids are, I think I always say this every time we cover a cryptid, which is on this episode, we're just going to have a return to good old-fashioned cryptozoology, which is really something that captivated both of us, I think, as children.
