The Chupacabra is a part lizard, part humanoid blood-sucking beast native to the Americas.
History
Gellert Grindelwald had a pet Chupacabra named Antonio until he hurled it out of the window of an Incarceration Carriage.
Description
It has six legs, multiple spines, and several sharp teeth.[1] It has blue markings with red rings.
Behind the scenes
The Chupacabra is a creature said to live in North America and Puerto Rico. Its name comes from the Spanish and Portuguese words for "goat sucker", as it is said to obtain nourishment from sucking the blood of goats and other livestock. Depending on the locality of the sighting, the appearance of the Chupacabra varies drastically. For example, in Puerto Rico, the Chupacabra is said to be a bipedal, reptilian humanoid, while in much of North America, it is said to look more like a hairless dog or coyote.
