Locals describe the worm as one that emits acid from its mouth, causes anything it touches to corrode and to kill from distance by electrical discharge. The red-coloured, sausage shaped creature is reported to measure roughly 50-100 centimetres long and lives most of the time underground. Sceptics suggest the olgoi-khorkhoi is actually a legless lizard from the Amphisbaenidae family. The study of mythical animals that are alleged to still exist is known as cryptozoology and the animals studied are known as cryptids. Other well known cryptids include the Loch Ness monster and the Yeti.

In 1983, a specimen of Tartar sand bias was shown to locals who claimed to have seen olgoi-Khoikhoi and they confirmed that this was the same animal.
