It sounds like a fantastic, lethal creature that might be found in a
1950s pulp science-fiction novel (or sci-fi television movie), but some
people believe that a large, deadly worm-like creature called the
Mongolian Death Worm exists in the Gobi desert.
According to British biologist Karl Shuker in his book “The Unexplained: An Illustrated Guide to the World’s Paranormal Mysteries” (2002, Metro Books) “One of the world’s most sensational creatures may be concealed amid the sands of the southern Gobi desert. … It is said to resemble a large fat worm, up to 1 meter (3 feet) long and dark red in color, with spike-like projections at both ends. It spends much of its time hidden beneath the desert sands, but whenever one is spotted lying on the surface it is scrupulously avoided by the locals.”
