A Chupacabra is a popular legend in Latin America that describes a monstrous creature attacking animals and consuming their blood. Chupacabra is a Spanish name that means “goat sucker,” referring to how the cryptid allegedly attacks its prey. The creature is fearsome but probably nonexistent. It has been characterized as the southern equivalent of Sasquatch (a human-like creature that was legendary and believed to have existed in the northwestern United States and Western Canada).
