Electric Ouroboros

The Electric Ouroboros (Autophagia electricus) is a mythical pseudanimal: a pseudanimal that is only rumoured to not exist. It is an autovore, living off of itself. However, whenever it starts to nibble, it will inevitably get a horrible electric shock throughout its thin body. Believers think that it formerly existed, but went extinct due to its failure to learn of its electricity-producing body, while deniers use unproven methods such as "logic", "common sense", and "evidence" to boost their point.
