Back in my Intro to Electomagnetism class I recall we did an exercise where we calculated the arc from a 10,000 volt power line and it ended up being around 10 - 12 feet. So anything shooting lightning from its rectum would have to possess incredible electrical potential to make it even a few feet through the air with appreciable current for an effective shock. If it sprayed a conducting fluid to reduce the dielectric properties of several feet of air the potential could be much less but would still have to be substantial to arc over that distance.

Why does "Mongolian Death Worm" sound like the name of a Grunge Rockband?
