Chupacabra - Spanish for “goat sucker”, the chupacabra was first sighted in Puerto Rico in 1995, though attacks on livestock by vampiric creatures are present in a lot of folklore as well. The name comes from its purported vampirism, as it’s said to attack and drink the blood of livestock. Chupacabra was coined in 1995 by a San Juan DJ commenting on the attacks.

Our Chupacabra is not unlike others in our cryptid collection - unsettlingly fleshy, a blend of pinks reminiscent of skin. It's prettier in other contexts, but what's the fun in that?
