It’s diet for blood could possibly result by a problem digesting food. Perhaps from generations of inbreeding due to a small population. That could also explain its mage.

I know this is kinda old, but I wanted to correct you with something... the first sights of the chupacabras were on Puerto Rico, not Mexico... other than that, I love how you interpret myths and legends

Don't tell me its like a fox or a dog with mange. Look at the way it eats. A normal forest animal doesn't use it's hands like that.

I've come up with an idea that the chupacabra is a breed of dog created by vampires to hunt down their prey. They bred the Rhodesian ridgeback, another breed created, in this universe, by vampires, with breeds like the Doberman, greyhound, and Aztec Lotus, added in for hairlessness. In addition, the dogs were bred to be anemic, which made them crave blood.

Why did I say "Aztec Lotus"? The dog I was thinking of was the Inca orchid, but the dog I pictured was the Xoloitzcuintli. They're both very similar hairless breeds from the Americas, the orchid from Peru and the Xolo from Mexico. The former does not exist. I just combined the latter two in my head.

Könnte es nicht noch ein zweites Viech geben? Ein hüpfender vampirischer Insektivor? Hunde sind zwar nette Haustiere aber nicht die Besten im Blutsaugen...

Ich hatte mal ein Konzept für einen vampirischen Neuweltaffen, aber das hab ich dann ad acta gelegt.

Hört sich dennoch ziehmlich cool an!
Ist eher aber was für Hollywood... oder eher noch Asylum. XD

À propos Blutsauger...
Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob in Skuntabria Sigbin vampirisch ein könnten, oder ob dies nur eine Legende sei und sie mit Aswang verwechselt wurden...
Letzteres vielleicht?

Nahnmwraki/Sigbin sind nicht vampirisch, allerdings mischt sich des öfteren der eine mit dem anderen Mythos, in diesem Fall sind handelsübliche Vampire für die Legende vom Aswang verantwortlich. Nahnmwraki beißen durchaus auch mal zu aber normalerweise reißen sie ihren Gegnern Stücke heraus, ein Verlust der bei Gestaltwandlern weit mehr wiegt als Blutverlust.

Ahhh... Perfekt!
Ich hab in den letzten Tagen auch schon ein paar Skizzen angefertigt.

This is the Texan "Chupacabra." Having been in the field of Cryptozoology for about thirteen years, I've always considered the US claims to be a separate entity and not a true chupacabras. The original reports were made in Puerto Rico and described a bipedal reptile with large eyes, comparable to a large iguana mixed with a kangaroo. Evidently mammalian. It was known for thriving on blood. Then some hick in Texas shoots a mangy coyote and calls it a chupacabra and the whole world evidently listens to him, even though it has nothing to do with the actual Puerto Rican entity.

So the Chupacabra is a vampiric Troodon.... interesting.

Y'know the hypothetical dinosauroid? It's like the half-way point between a Troodon and that, then with some kangaroo thrown in.

Well it's a question of interpretation
I had also sketches of nearly naked primates with spiky osteoderms, but I only use what is possible enough

For the Chupacabra or another animal?

Well then... yes, use it

This is so cool. Can you tell me did you come up with the scientific name because some Cryptids have been given scientific games. I just want to be sure cause something I've been working on something that includes fictional animals portrayed in a realistic way and I'm including a Chupacabra. I'm gonna use the canine version like yours but I was thinking that mine shouldn't be in the Canis genus. I'm not an artist so I won't be drawing mine any time soon but I have this whole image in my head of what mine will be like.

I give the Chupacabra- and all other species I invent too- a scientific name because everything needs a scinetific Name. Without such a name the animal is nothing but another unknown species. The "officiel" name bring it into the real world.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure you came up with the scientific name.

How would you explain the chupacabra's ability to suck blood from it's dead prey?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It don't kill it while sucking, like a Smilodon, the Chupacabra pins it prey down and tear it's teeth into a main vein. The dracoline, a substance within the saliva of the predator, let the blood flow without clotting, and the in panic pumping heart of the prey do the rest.
Because of this method a Chupacabra isn't able to kill larger prey. Most victims which are known were sheeps, especially small, young or ill specimens.
