Mongolian Death Worm

So a friend posts this link on Facebook.

I know nothing about the site she linked to, but this sounds too tailor-made for the Dungeon Master in all of us.

A little Google-whacking later and all I can think is -- this is still too cool not to put into an adventure...or even build an adventure around.

Wikipedia -- since we all know how reliable a source of information it is.

Can I just point out that Mongolian Death Worm would make an excellent band name?

I think it would also be a great name for a drink.

"What'll you have?"

"Oh, a Mongolian Death Worm....and keep em coming."

Just kind of rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

I agree for a drink or a band -- very euphonious.

While I find "Mongolian Death Worm" works best for a band, I also think that the "Death Worm" suffix should be the main consideration for the drink itself, with the nationality (suitably more exotic depending on your desired strength) as the prefix.

"Gimme...psh, what a day. Gimme a Death Worm."

"Be specific, mac. Mongolian or Uzbekistani?"

"Mongolian. I'm not suicidal, for chrissake."

Man... what would be that drink like?

Anyone want to write up an encounter where the Mongolian Death Worms are armed with Bohemian Ear Spoons?

I remember having Mongolian meatballs once and they weren't bad at all...

"I'll have the Mongolian Deathworm Cocktail, please."

"Here you are, sir."

"Ah, cool....refreshing.... a subtle "Je ne sais quoi" to the body of the libation that eludes me...AHHHH...AHHHHH!!!!! MY EYES!!!!"

An irradiated tequila worm on steroids.

Or the sandworm from Dune.

Or that giant asteroid creature from Empire Strikes Back.

Simple... yet complex.

If you're a female, and you can metabolize the poisons, you will become a Reverend Mother and be able to tap the race memory of all the females in your past family line.

If you're a male, and you can metabolize the poisons, you're the goddamned Kwitsatz Hadarach. If not... you'll be measured for a coffin.

Ominous... yet, tempting.
