Desert home to the legendary Mongolian death worm

As a detective, I was tasked with solving the mystery of the crossword clue ‘Desert home to the legendary Mongolian death worm‘. My first step was to research the Mongolian death worm and its habitat. After learning that it was reportedly found in the Gobi Desert, my attention turned to the second part of the clue – the desert’s name. It was clear that the answer had to be a four-letter word and with the letters I had at my disposal, G-O-B-I seemed to fit perfectly. A little research confirmed that the Gobi Desert was indeed considered the home of the Mongolian death worm. The insights I gained from investigating both the creature and the desert helped me to confidently deduce that the answer to the crossword clue was indeed ‘GOBI‘.
