31 Days of Monsters 2014: Mongolian Death Worm

Before "Dune", before "Tremors", there was the Mongolian Death Worm of Asia. Lurking beneath the sand of the Gobi Desert is a writhing, deadly beast that spits yellow acid and has a skin so toxic that its very touch can kill a man. Red, fanged and nasty, the Mongolian Death Worm is said to attack camels and lay its eggs inside their living bodies. It can electrocute its prey if needed by discharging a massive blast of static that it gathers in its body as it glides through the dry sand.

31 Days of Monsters: Basilisk

The basilisk was said to be the king of serpents because of a crown-like crest on its head. Basilisks are born when a chicken hatches an egg from a snake. One look from a basilisk is said to be able to kill an average man, and if stabbed, their blood can flow up swords to poison their slayers. They are aggressive to all living things, and when they cannot find animals to attack, they preoccupy themselves withering plants with their breath. Weasels and mongooses are said to be the only animal that is immune to their stare, but one of the easiest and surest ways to kill a basilisk is with a rooster. If a basilisk hears a rooster crow, it will drop dead instantly, no muss, no fuss.
