| Alright... You're down somewhere in Latin America, and decide that it's a good idea to go for a walk to visit your chickens or something. They get lonely. Right? You go outside, and your eyes start to water, You smell a hideous aroma. A stench if you will. You're overwhelmed with the stench of fire and brimstone. The sulfuric stench becomes almost too much to bear, but you press on. It's too late to turn back. You need to know what had created the stench. You finally reach the 6 foot fence of your chicken coop, and can see feathers all over the place, and dead chickens everywhere inside.

| The Goat Sucker Back in prehistoric times, the 1970's, there were stories, and reports of mutilations and vampirism of livestock in Latin America, and even Southern Texas. There isn't much to go on with these reports. There's just some cattle killed in a mysterious way. No blood was found anywhere, not even within the corpses of the slain animals. In the 1980's there was nothing. There were no reports of this kind, and no sightings. All we have today is one image that represents what the suspect in these animal mutilations MAY have looked like during that time period. Click here to view the image. In the 1990's, the predator returned, to feed on the blood of goats, and other livestock in Latin America. It's first sighting may have been in Puerto Rico, where they coined the modern name of the creature. It was called, "The Goat Sucker", or "El Chupacabra" in the Spanish language. Chupacabra. Chupacabra. That word is fun to say. Because of the description or possibly how easily the word rolls off the tongue, the Chupacabra became a big craze in the mid 90's. There were a ton of sightings, and reports of animal vampirism. The reason for its sudden uprising is really unknown. Why does the public latch on to ANYTHING, and run it into the ground? They find something they like, and it becomes over saturated in the media, and on the Internet until it runs its course. All your base are belong to us.

Time To Get Real In a lot of ways, creatures like El Chupacabra or Sasquatch are very alike, particularly in the eyes of their witnesses. They ALL see something different, and RARELY agree on what it was. I've made it a point to do my homework, and find all the eyewitness descriptions. They had certain things in common, and certain things were completely different. For example, MOST report of a bipedal, alien headed creature with big red eyes, sharp teeth, and spines down its back. There are however, a few reports of a dog like creature that ALSO has the spines, and sharp teeth. The sulfuric stench and seems to swing both ways. Sometimes, the alien has it, sometimes the dog has it. Every now and then, the creature has fur, and dots all over it. MOST report of a scaly, lizard like skin. SOME even say it changes colors like a chameleon. Sometimes it has a tail, but most of the time, it does not. What do we believe? What description do we follow? I tend to dabble in photoshop a little. On this page, I'm going to use photoshop, and try to make a REALISTIC looking Chupacabra based on the MOST COMMON eyewitness descriptions. That means, I'll be creating the alien looking thing, and not the dog. (Click the smaller images to see a larger version.)

Size & Scale Size is a hard thing to show in a composite sketch. I mean, I can come out and say that the creature is only 10 inches tall and smaller than a typical kitty cat, or I could boast about the fact that it's15 feet tall, and badass enough to flip over a Volkswagen. By looking at the completed Cuupacabra image in the little box above, can YOU tell me how big it's supposed to be? I'd say no. There's just not enough information to go on. You'd need to put it in an image with other well known items that has a size that everyone can easily compare the creature to. When people are arrested, and their mug shot is taken, THIS is why they have to stand next to a giant ruler. It's so that in the image, it's EASY to tell how big the are. Unfortunately, contrary to Internet rumors, nobody has ever captured a picture of a Chupacabra, LET ALONE talked one into standing next to a ruler to pose for a mugshot. That's where photoshop can come in. I may not have a picture of a posing Chupacabra, but I have the Chupacabra that I created, and I can EASILY pose it for the camera to give it some scale. This thing slaughters goats, chickens, and other livestock by the dozens, and doesn't make the slightest mess. What is the best way to give a creature of this magnitude some scale to TRULY show you how large, and fearsome it really is? I believe the image linked below will give you an accurate representation of the creatures true size. Final Thoughts I know that this page is mostly jokes, and fluff. What more was there for me to write about? Rehash other sites content? There isn't much more REAL information that I can go into on this page. I mean, yeah there are theories about where the creature came from. One of those is the idea that it was once the 'pet' of aliens. Like E.T., it was left here by its masters, and they flew away in their U.F.O. without it. How sad. Really, there are other stories, but NONE of them could even remotely be considered without even knowing that the thing even exists. We don't even have that. The Chupacabra has only been around, and on peoples minds for less than 15 years, That's a pretty short time compared to other cryptids that have loads of history and sightings. Give it time. It's just warming up. |
