Mongolian sand worm (SciiFii)

The Mongolian sand worm (Vermisechis gigadentibus), also known as the Mongolian death worm, the Mongolian death adder, the Mongolian death viper, the saber-toothed viper, the fanged worm, and the olgoi-khorkoi, is a species of venomous snake, most closely related to the vipers of the genus Atractaspis, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the scrublands and deserts of Mongolia to help boost biodiversity. The Mongolian sand worm is a very large viper, with an average length of 3.18 to 4 meters (10.4 to 13.1 feet), reaching a maximum of 5.85 meters (19.2 feet), making it one of the largest venomous snakes. The Mongolian sand worm is a carnivorous reptile that often burrows to help blend in the sand to ambush unsuspecting prey, which usually consists of small mammals, birds, smaller reptiles, and amphibians. The Mongolian sand worm is a rather solitary animal and usually lives in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The venomous bite of the Mongolian sand worm is very potent, and can kill an animal as large as a cow, and may last 10 minutes until the animal is dead, making it a very deadly animal. However, the Mongolian sand worm is generally nonaggressive towards sapient species such as humans, so it rather flees from their presence than bite almost every time. The conservation status of the Mongolian sand worm is Near Threatened due to some habitat loss and persecution, however, thanks to the conservationists, the Mongolian sand worm is a protected species.
