Uma sikhuluma nge-cryptozoology ne-cryptids sijwayele ukugxumela amacala asobala - iBigfoot, iLoch Ness Monster, iChupacabra, iMothman, neKraken. Izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zezidalwa zihlanganiswe kulawa macala, njengezinyani nezinkawu, ama-dinosaurs aphilayo okungenzeka aphila nokuphila okungaziwa kahle kwezinyoni noma okungaziwa. Zonke lezi zidalwa zinosayizi namafomu ahlukahlukene, futhi kungabonakala ngokusobala lapho zizenza zibonakale, zithuse futhi zenze amangale labo abeza emzileni wazo.
Kepha kuthiwani ngezikelemu, izidalwa ezesabekayo ezisinika umuzwa oshubile. Kodwa-ke, izikelemu ezivamile azinabungozi futhi azisongo kithi, ngaphandle kwalezo ezihlasela umzimba womuntu futhi zibangele izinhlekelele eziningi. Manje cabanga ngalezi zidalwa ngombala obomvu osabekayo, umlomo omangazayo onamaswidi nama-spikes, nokuhlaselwa kwesimo sokubona. Lezi yizifo ezidumile zaseMongolian Death Worms.
Umsuka walezi zindaba zokubukeka kwesibungu esibulalayo ufinyelela eminyakeni eyi-1000 kepha ngo-1922, uNdunankulu waseMongolia wakhuluma ngokuvela kwalesi sibungu njengesimo 'esifana nesoseji' futhi esingamamitha amabili ubude. Ngaphandle kwekhanda noma imilenze ehlukile, lesi sibungu sibuyisa ubuthi futhi singabulala noma ngubani ngokushesha nje lapho usithinta. Ngo-1932, yona le ndoda eyacaphuna uNdunankulu, yashicilela imibhalo lapho ichaza khona indawo yalesi sidalwa indawo eyomile, eshisayo nenesihlabathi, ecacisa isifunda sasogwadule olusentshonalanga yeGobi.
Ngo-1987, isibungu sokufa saseMongolia sabikwa futhi ukuthi sasinomzila ongaphansi komhlaba owadala amagagasi esihlabathi aphazamisekile njengoba ayehamba. Kulesi shumi leminyaka lesi sibungu sathola elinye igama lendawo elibizwa ngokuthi "olgoi-khorkhoi" ngemuva kokuthi abantu bekholwe ukuthi lesi silwane esibulalayo sihlala phakathi kwabo. Kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kwaqinisekiswa njengesibonelo se-Tartar sand boa. Ukuziphatha kwesibungu esikhulu kwakudla ukudla ikakhulukazi kumakamela; iyakwazi ukuhlala emathunjini esilwane futhi ibeke amaqanda kuso. Ngaphandle kokungenwa yizifo, le cryptid eshelwayo kuthiwa inesihlungu esiphuzi esingaqeda insimbi. Ubuthi bungafuthwa nalolu hlobo lwenyoka olufana nezikelemu. Umuntu onebhadi ngokwanele ukuthi angahlangana nobuthi bawo uzobhekana nobuhlungu obukhulu obulandelwa ukufa.
Uhambo oluningi kanye nocwaningo lokuhlola lwenziwe ukuthola le-cryptid ebangele ukwesaba okukhulu nezinxushunxushu phakathi kwabantu. Kuze kube manje, imibono eminingi isacatshangelwa ukuthi lesi silo sihlobene nomndeni othile wezibankwa noma izilwane eziphila ezweni nasemanzini. Lokhu kusho ukuthi kungenzeka kungabi 'isibungu' ngemuva kwakho konke. Abanye abazimele nabanesibindi nabo bakwazile ukusetha izingibe ezikhethekile zalezi zinhlobo ezingaziwa. Zonke lezi zinsolo nezinganekwane ziyedluliswa amashumi eminyaka zisuka kwesinye isigodi ziye kwesinye ngokuhamba nangohwebo, bese kuba lula kakhulu kuthelevishini nakwabezindaba.
