"Some have seen a small half-alien, half-dinosaur tailless vampire with quills running down its back; others have sited a panther like creature with a long snake-like tongue; still others have seen a hopping animal that leaves a trail of sulphuric stench. Some think it may be a type of dinosaur heretofore unknown."

Now why am I reminded of my mother-in-law?

El Chup is a boss creature in Diablo I, which reminds me, Scavenger monsters from Diablo I rocked. *goes to convert*

the word Chupacabra means in portuguese( and in spanish, i suspect) something like sucksgoat or goatsucker (suck the goat´s( or sheep, im not sure) blood)


ending cultural trivia...

What spurred on this sudden interest in goat-seeking vampires, alish2o?

Ah, the Chupacabra. Well do I remember the day Jackie Chan and El Toro battled the creature. Good episode.

Also an interesting cryptozoological phenomenon, restricted to the 1990s and more recently. Product of mass hysteria or something else? I don't know...

It's hardly new is it? Anyway isn't there the chance that it's native? All the new people on the island and elsewhere have unbalanced it whatever..... And now it's sucking blood.

But all the Were-panther stories from brazil are quite like the stories.....
