Masakh Khawf
Summary
Apparently, there is a 2 mile long albino white worm patrolling the desert sands of the Hassan Kingdom. Unlike most Alraml, this one is said to eat people and animals. It is said that Masakh Khawf can be drawn out by the blowing of an old, ancient, magic horn, if the creature even exists. It is said that when Masakh Khawf is nearby, the earth trembles with god-like fury.
Historical Basis
Although there are Alraml that have been recorded slightly longer than normal, no worm has been recorded as longer than a mile, or even with albino skin or razor sharp teeth. However, there have been reports around the kingdom of unexplained tremors in the ground....
Spread
Known throughout the lower classes of the Hassan Kingdom, and with various hunting groups and bestiaries around the world.
Variations & Mutation
Some people believe that Masakh Khawf is actually an old pagan god and not just a giant worm.
Cultural Reception
Most people thinks the Great Worm doesn't exist, however there have been some reports of cults preaching to the great worm to bring about the salvation of the people.
