Chupacabra

Translated as "goat sucker", the Chupacabra is said to kill farm animals by draining their blood, supposedly marking two puncture wounds at the throat. However, eyewitnesses have never documented supposed sightings. Stories of the Chupacabra originated in Castilla, Caltexico and even as far as southern UnitedTerra among their Spanish-speaking cultures (except UnitedTerra) and traveled with immigrants. It was originally described as alien-like with flexible row of spines down it's back, glowing red eyes, and long, sharp fangs. Some reports indicate Chupacabras have wings and smells like sulfur. Others say it jumps like a kangaroo. In more recent days, the creature has taken on more of a dog-like description. In fact, many Chupacabra "discoveries" have turned out to be only sickly dogs that have lost their fur to a disease called mange.
