Tikamalankhula za cryptozoology ndi ma cryptids timakonda kudumphira koyamba - Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, The Chupacabra, Mothman, ndi The Kraken. Mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zolengedwa imapezeka munthawi imeneyi, monga anyani ndi anyani, ma dinosaurs okhala amoyo ndi mbalame zosadziwika kapena zosadziwika. Zolengedwa zonsezi zimakhala ndi makulidwe komanso mawonekedwe osiyanasiyana, ndipo zimawoneka bwino zikadzipangitsa kuzindikirika, kuwopseza komanso kudodometsa iwo omwe amabwera panjira yawo.
Nanga bwanji nyongolotsi, zolengedwa zazing'ono zoopsa zomwe zimatipatsa chidwi. Komabe, nyongolotsi zamtundu uliwonse sizowopsa ndipo sizikuwopsa kwenikweni kwa ife, kupatula zomwe zimadzaza thupi la munthu ndikupangitsa ziwopsezo zambiri. Tsopano talingalirani zolengedwa izi mu mtundu wofiira wowopsa, mkamwa modabwitsa ndi ma suckers ndi ma spikes, ndikuwukira mawonekedwe owonera. Izi ndi ziweto zotchuka kwambiri ku Mongolian Death Worms.
Chiyambi cha nkhani zowoneka za nyongolotsi iyi zimafikira zaka 1000 koma mu 1922, Prime Minister waku Mongolia adalankhula zakukula kwa nyongolotsi iyi ngati mawonekedwe a 'soseji' komanso kutalika kwa mapazi awiri. Popanda mutu kapena miyendo yosiyana, nyongolotsi iyi imathira poizoni ndipo imapha munthu aliyense akangoyigwira. Mu 1932, munthu yemweyo yemwe adatchula Prime Minister, adalemba zolemba pomwe adalongosola malo okhala nyama iyi ndi malo owuma, otentha, komanso amchenga, kutanthauzira dera lakumadzulo kwa chipululu cha Gobi.
Mu 1987, nyongolotsi yakufa ya ku Mongolia idanenedwanso kuti inali ndi njira yapansi panthaka yopanga mafunde amchenga osokonekera pamene amayenda. Zaka khumi izi nyongolotsi iyi idatchulidwanso dzina lanyumba lotchedwa "olgoi-khorkhoi" anthu atakhulupirira kuti chilombo chowopsa ichi chimakhala pakati pawo. Koma pambuyo pake, zidatsimikiziridwa ngati chithunzi cha mchenga wa Tartar. Khalidwe la nyongolotsi yayikuluyi idadyera makamaka ngamila; imatha kukhala m'matumbo a nyama ndikuikira mazira mmenemo. Kuphatikiza pa infestations, cryptid slithering iyi imadziwika kuti ili ndi poizoni wachikasu yemwe amatha kuwononga chitsulo. Utsiwu amathanso kupopera mphamvu ndi njoka ngati nyongolotsi. Yemwe mwatsoka wakumana ndi ululu wake amakumana ndi zowawa zopweteka zomwe zimatsatiridwa ndiimfa.
Maulendo ambiri ndi kafukufuku wofufuza adachitika kuti apeze cryptid iyi yemwe wadzetsa mantha ndi chisokonezo pakati pa anthu. Mpaka pano, malingaliro ambiri akuganiziridwanso kuti chilombochi chikugwirizana ndi banja lina la abuluzi kapena amphibiya. Izi zikutanthauza kuti mwina sangakhale 'nyongolotsi' pambuyo pake. Ena odziyimira pawokha komanso olimba mtima athandizanso kutchera misampha yapadera ya mitundu yosadziwika imeneyi. Kukayikira konseku ndi zongopeka izi zikupititsidwa kwazaka zambiri kuchokera kumudzi wina kupita ku wina kudzera pamaulendo ndi malonda, kenako mosavuta kudzera pa TV komanso media.
