Historical Information

The minhocão ("big earthworm" in Brazilian Portuguese) is a large earthworm-like cryptid that allegedly exists in the forests of South America. It reportedly resembles a giant worm, with scaly black skin and a pair of tentacle-like structures protruding from its head. It is thought to be a burrowing animal, producing enormous trenches as it digs.
