Description

Other names: none
Origin: Puerto Rico
Habitat: Almost all American continent
Type: Alien/Canine


DATA:

The chupacabra's name first came from the spanish words from chupar "to suck" and cabra "goat" shortly after several cattle around a farm where found one morning, with their blood completely drained away, and sucked directly out of one small open wound, most of them..the wound was directly located in the neck area, and farmers report this alien-like creature all across the Americas. Ranging from just an average sighting, to full blown attacks; this is possibly one of the most dangerous cryptids ever known to mankind.

The legend of "El Chupacabra" began when goats and chickens started turning up dead in Puerto Rico in the 1990's, drained of blood and with telltale puncture wounds in their necks but otherwise completely intact. Literally translated as "goat sucker" in Spanish, reports of Chupacabra spread from Puerto Rico to Mexico, Chile, Brazil and into the United States, from Texas to Florida, Michigan, Maine and even Oregon. Soon Chupacabra became a worldwide urban legend as news spread far and fast on a wave of Internet enthusiasm, taking hold of imaginations worldwide.

PERSONAL NOTE: To recreate this creature i took the images of the famous original alienish chupacabras from Puerto Rico and the hairless dog found in Texas and then make a mix between both species to just one.

I am working on a video about my firsthand knowledge on chupacabras and the cryptids that are often (somehow) mistaken for them, one of which is actually what you are depicting. (You’re actually depicting what I’d call a “Reptilian Ghost-Fox” which I suspect are some kind species of unusually large chameleons, no offense, it’s still cool art anyways, and this is actually one of the mix-ups I can understand, because both chupacabras and reptilian ghost-foxes have a canine-like shape.) Can I borrow this image?
