An Urban Myth monster of Latin American origin, believed to suck the blood of livestock animals, especially goats (thus the name, which is Spanish for "Goatsucker"). Combines old Vampire Tropes with modern UFO mythology, by way of Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious. The "myth" began in Puerto Rico during the 1970s, making this monster much more recent than many would expect. At the time, there was a rash of animal slayings, mostly farm animals that had bled to death. This caused some people to (halfway seriously) think some kind of vampiric creature was on the loose; it became known as "The Moca Vampire" (Moca being the town were the attacks started). The attacks eventually stopped as mysteriously as they had begun. The local yellow journals, of course, exploited them to the hilt. It's worth noting much of the hype was tongue-in-cheek for otherwise sleepy, slow news weeks. Coincidentally, at the same time, similar unexplained cattle slayings were taking place in the southwestern United States. In their case, they gave rise to the urban legend of aliens stealing cattle for experimentation. In the 1990s, the attacks started happening again on Puerto Rico. This time, people started calling the "monster" El Chupacabras, later shortened to just Chupacabra. Supposedly, Silverio Perez of the comedy group Los Rayos Gamma coined the name to give you an idea of how seriously this was taken. A magazine called "Revista OVNI" (UFO Magazine) came up with the theory that the creature could have been created by aliens, likely inspired by the American cattle slayings theory. They also provided an artist's conception of what it looked like — showing a creature resembling a skinny, big eyed "Grey" type alien but with fangs, claws, scaly skin and a ridge of spines along the back. This was supposedly based on the description from a female witness who claimed to have seen the monster, however said witness was apparently under the impression the events of the movie Species were happening in reality. Looking at the description she gave and the film's monster called Sil, similarities are evident. Despite having no actual evidence for any of this, people embraced it, and the current concept of the Chupacabra was born. The slayings were never officially resolved, multiple local veterinarians, the Puerto Rican FBI investigators reviewing the cases, and an American expert on animal attacks all identified them as being caused by wild dogs, based on both pictures of the attack scenes and autopsy on the victims. The idea the monster drained its victims of blood that which was often reported in news print and radio, was itself a misconception of what happens to animal corpses after death. Blood solidifies, coagulating very quickly when it stops being actively pumped through the veins, and a combination of this and the blood draining out of puncture wounds lead to bodies quickly appearing "bloodless" after a few hours. All of the autopsies on supposed Chupacabra attack victims routinely found coagulated blood inside the bodies of victims, completely typical of dog and other mundane predator attack. In fact, one of the most popular later depictions of the Chupacabra is based on a creepy hairless dog with a pronounced spinal ridge, unusually pronounced eye sockets, and very sharp fangs and claws. It might often be depicted as a dog due to the fact that many canines can kill their prey without consuming them, either because of a lack of experience or due to how difficult was to kill them. And while the victim can survive, they will often die due to either circulatory shock or internal bleeding. The myth became surprisingly popular across Central and South America over the years, and even in the Southern United States, with people claiming to have actually seen the creature. The myth was further bolstered by the Mexican powers that be from 1994 to 1996, who intentionally played it up on local news and media specifically because every second spent discussing El Chupacabras was a second not spent discussing the major political and economic turmoil that was happening back then. Interestingly, it changed its appearance on its travels: In Latin American countries, it's reported as being a bizarre red-eyed alien being with spines along its back. In the US, since around the turn of the 2000s, it's tended to take on the appearance of a hairless dog. It also has been featured on several TV shows and movies, effectively being treated as the Latin American equivalent of Bigfoot. Pop culture spread the Chupacabra even further, with recent sightings as far as Russia. The Chupacabra is sometimes known as the Chupacabras (with an S), or sometimes El Chupacabras. This is in fact the original form of the name in Spanish; this type of compound word in Spanish (verb + noun) usually has the plural form of the noun (other examples: el abrelatas "the can opener", el sacapuntas "the pencil sharpener", el tocadiscos "the record player", el pisapapeles "the paperweight") while the compound noun itself does not change in the plural (dos sacapuntas "two pencil sharpeners"). In 2010, corpses of quadrupedal "Chupacabra" were analyzed and revealed to be coyotes afflicted with mange,note In all likelihood, the name was attached to the unfortunate animals by someone with insufficient familiarity with either the original Puerto Rican myth or what mangy canids look like. while the bipedal Chupacabra originated from Madelyne Tolentino, the eyewitness from the Puerto Rico cases, believing that the monster Sil from the science fiction horror film Species, which she had watched prior to making the report, was real. |

In Sluggy Freelance, while avoiding Bun-bun, Aylee (Torg's alien secretary) goes to pick up a tray of drinks for the group. The waitress is terrified and stammers "Do not eat me, chupacabra!" to which Aylee cheerfully responds "Do not eat me, senorita!", thinking it's a normal human greeting. She later resolves to use one of Bun-bun's greetings, "your money or your life!" | |

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald introduces Chupacabras to the Harry Potter franchise. They are portrayed in a manner consistent with the original Mexican version, being lizard-like creatures with spiky backs and blood-sucking fangs. Grindelwald keeps one as a pet, and uses it to hijack a MACUSA prison coach that was supposed to be transporting him to his next jail cell — and then kills it because it has now outlived its usefulness. | |

TierZoo: The chupacabra is one of the cryptids covered during the April Fools' Day episode, where it's determined to not be a very viable build. To unlock the chupacabra, a player would have to select a canine build and deliberately infect themselves with mange. Aside from a buff in intimidation, mange is a significant hinderence to the player that costs them sanity points. As such, chubacabras are ranked at the bottom of the tier list because of these drawbacks. | |

The Looney Tunes web shorts "Mysterious Phenomena of the Unexplained" had one episode deal with Daffy Duck and Porky Pig hunting down a chupacabra (cue Mexican yelling with short guitar riff). Daffy takes it as a vacation and unwittingly runs into one, but doesn't realize it. They're both ultimately caught by one and made to serve them at their own little resort. | |

Cryptid Hunters: The Chupacabra is discussed in the first book of the series, wherein Wolffe speculated that it’s not real, but was created in a lab and then allowed to roam the southwest USA to build a legend, only so Noah Blackwood could catch it and later display it for profit. In the third book, titled Chupacabra, this is ultimately not far from the truth. Blackwood funded an extensive search of the American southwest and his men deduced that the creature doesn’t exist — but Blackwood seizes the opportunity to genetically invent a Chupacabra, which is functionally a Xenomorph Xerox and highly intelligent and self-aware. | |

In No Evil chupacabras are large long-limbed creatures that prey on livestock, such as jackalopes. They're first mentioned in "Brom Bones" when Huehuecoyotl makes a giant spooky puppet out of a jack-o-lantern and chupacabra bones, which gets animated by Angel. And they actually appear in "Conduct" as part of the village of Hatfield's plan to get back at McCoy for stealing their food. | |

InCryptid: Numerous chupacabras appear in the series as therianthropic cryptids: James (Verity's competitive dance partner) in Discount Armageddon and Midnight Blue-Light Special, Princess Leya-you-out, one of Antimony's fellow jammers in "Bad Dream Girl" and "Jammed," and Malena, one of Verity's fellow dancers in Chaos Choreography. Their beast form is the typical scabrous reptile-wolf creature, their human form is indistinguishable from a Latin American person of their age and build. For the most part, they're quite friendly and don't attack farm animals to drain their blood. | |

Pathfinder, in its desire to fill up its Bestiaries with as much cryptids and folkloric creatures from real life instead of making up new things like its arch-rival, includes a chupe that's a fair bit more lizard-like◊ than the standard portrayal. | |

The X-Files: "El Mundo Gira" reveals that the Chupacabras are actually illegal immigrants who have been infected by an alien fungus. The standard version is discussed in "Bad Blood". Mulder presents Scully a new case — dead cows that have been exsanguinated. Scully ironically asks if it wasn't by any chance that Mexican goatsucker. |

Dungeons & Dragons statted chupacabras in Dragon #343. Design-wise, they blend the two depictions above, appearing as Monstrous Humanoids Running on All Fours, with furred, spined bodies and bestial facial features. They have a blood drain attack and are noted to primarily feed upon livestock, though some chupacabras go after humanoid children or elderly, or halflings. In a departure from the myth, D&D chupacabras can also change their coloration to blend in with their surroundings, and rumor has it that some fly on membranous wings. Though chupacabras have near-human intelligence, they have no language or culture, only a "primitive cunning and skill at hunting." | |

Not only is the origin of the creature different (treating it as being part of Aztec Mythology), but it's design is also more similar to Bigfoot (or the Nahual, a lycanthropic being from local folklore). | |

The chapter's Golden Ending has a local newspaper confuse it for a chupacabra when the authorities find its corpse after it is shot by John and ran over by a truck. Chapter II reveals that this creature is Michael Davies, a young boy who was victim of Demonic Possession for so long, his body mutated beyond recognition. | |

Shadowrun: Chupacabras, also called blood dogs, are mutated, mange-ridded canids with long, grooved fangs that allow them to drink blood.

Deadlands tells us that Chupacabras...Chupacabrae... Chupacab... "Goat Suckers" have actually been around since the late 19th Century. True to the stories that have sprung up around them in modern times, they are formed when someone of Latin American descent betrays another. | |

Red Dead Redemption 2: In one campfire event, Javier Escuella tells the Van der Linde gang that when he was little, his mother told him a story about this mythical chupacabra (though not mentioned by name) who would hunt down cattle and suck their blood; he adds that though the gang may believe this is a fairy tale, her version is different: that this monster would also eat up little boys who were not behaving in an appropriate manner. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi references the Chupacabra once or twice. In the original, it was just theorized that it was a Chupacabra behind the vampire attacks. (In truth, it was Evangeline.) In the second animated series Negima!?, it became more of a Running Gag, ranging from a Chupacabra-based club being used as a cover for those who discovered Negi's secret and Asuna printing far too many Chupa-Tees to sell, to Negi being turned into a chupacabra as punishment for revealing magic to normal humans. Even in the Spring OVA, a small portion is spent on a Chupacabra hunt, and at the very end, a Chupacabra is seen watching the plane fly away. The Chupacabra shown here is much more comical than most versions, resembling more a spotted potato with fangs than anything else. | |

Sgt. Frog: The Chupacabra is referred to by name, complete with a Recycled In Space variant called Space Chupacabra, but eating goats is never brought up — it's still considered as urban myth though, and the resident mythological-creature-hunter Alisa Southerncross goes after it — but gets curbstomped bigtime as it eats her surrogate father Nevula. Additionally, one episode featured a giant Chupacabra with a frill named Capras, a parody of a monster from Ultraman called Jirass whose design was simply another classic monster with a frill added — Godzilla. | |
