The Mongolian Death Worm's native name, Olgoi-Khorkhoi, means "intestine worm", due to its red blood-like color, and size, which is the size of an intestine. It has been described by many to be from 2-7ft long, have the ability to spit out a corrosive yellow saliva and to generate blasts of electricity. However this latter power is thought of as being folkloric by the nomads of the Gobi. Western culture has come to call this monster the "Mongolian Death Worm."

abhartach
Many years ago there lived in the lands east of the Foyle, between Dungiven and Garvagh, in the glen of the eagle (Glenullin) a chieftain or petty king called Abhartach. His name implies that he was small or a dwarf. It may be that he had been injured in battle or through accident, or possibly because of wizardry, for the people of his time were great warriors and they liked their rulers to be manly, brave and strong. However this is conjecture and all we know of him is that he was quite an evil man, a wizard even, hated and feared by his own clan and the neighbouring clans.
