This small humanoid is truly an odd sight. It has an almost monkey-like physique, but there is no tail. Its skin is covered in bluish-gray scales and its reptilian feet are clawed. It stares at you with it’s large eyes of pure black and lets out a bonechilling scream, revealing a row of sharp fangs.
Chupacabras are small but terrifying undead, often created of goblins or other savage humanoids of the same size. They hunt for whatever prey is available, usually cattle, ripping them to pieces and drinking all their blood, resembling vampires in that matter.
Fortunately, an animal or person killed by a chupacabra doesn’t return as one, unlike with vampires.
A chupacabra stands up to 3,3 feet tall while on its rear feet. When running, it often descends to all fours, about 1,6 feet tall to it’s shoulders. They usually weight about 40 lbs. Their large, empty eyes are either pure black or dark red. A chupacabra’s whole body is covered by bluish-gray scales, sometimes with also black spots. Their whole physique is usually quite skinny, but that might vary if they have just fed.
Chupacabras don’t speak any language, they can only manage canine sounds like barking, howling and also a bone-chilling scream.
Combat
Chupacabras usually resort to battle if their prey fights back or if their hunt is disturbed. Due to their low intellect they cannot properly organize attacks, however sometimes hunting in small packs where they just attack simultaneously.
Improved Grab: To use this ability, a chupacabra must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free
action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can drain the victim’s blood.
Blood drain: After causing a bleeding wound to an opponent, a chupacabra can try to suck the victim’s blood out through it. This is accomplished through a grapple, and if successful, causes terrible pain to the opponent (1d6 per round) while healing the chupacabra (half the damage dealt). When all blood is sucked out, the victim dies.
Grapple claws: The chupacabra have sharp, curved claws, giving them a +2 bonus to grapple checks, regardless of any other penalties.
Silent run: Due to their sneaky nature, chupacabras can make a Move Silently check even while running or walking at normal speed.
