Beast Hunter
Mongolian Death Worm
S1 E3:
The Mongolian death worm is rumored to live in the Gobi Desert, one of the most inhospitable regions of the planet. This freakish creature is said to spray acid, send out electric shocks and explode when threatened. After traveling to the vast, empty wilderness, Spain dives in with the locals to garner some leads. To impress them, he finds himself in over his head- literally - fighting one of Mongolia's top wrestlers. Afterward, Spain earns the villagers' trust, and they divulge new information he uses to start his investigation. He treks to the Gandan Monastery, where death worm stories may have ties to shamanistic beliefs, and then consults written accounts from expeditions in the 1920s before heading out to the brutal desert on the hunt for evidence.
