DescriptionEdit

In-game, the creature resembles a cross between a hyena and a boar, and demonstrates great agility. It has grey-green skin, red eyes, and a row of quills along its spine.

LocationsEdit

After attaining level 4 undead hunter rank, the Chupacabra can be found:

In the fields northwest of Torquemada. When zoomed out on the game map, the area will have a picture of three horses.
North of Las Hermanas.
Southeast of Perdido.
South of Casa Madrugada, or north of Chuparosa near the river (Between Rio del Toro and Frontera Bridge).
South of Chuparosa town, right outside.
Southeast of Barranca.
West of Barranca.
Southeast of Las Hermanas, west of Sepulcro.
Southeast of Tesoro Azul near the main road.
West of Tesoro Azul.
On the plains outside of El Presidio above Casa Madrugada.
Sidewinder Gulch, just under "Gulch".
South of Alta Cabeza between the rock formations.
Mesa del Sol next to the rock formation with the fat and skinny pillars.
North of Perdido (Ramita de la Baya).
South of Sepulcro, just west of where the road curves to go east.
In the fields in Diez Coronas.
At the very end of the road leading into Brittlebrush Trawl.
Southeast of Ojo del Diablo on the trail leading to Tesoro Azul.
Northeast of Sepulcro and South East of Agave Viejo.
Front of Casa Madrugada, left of the "M" of Mesa de la Luna.

North of Diez Coronas (Above the d of Presidio when zoomed out on game map).
Near Plata Grande

Though the above locations have been confirmed by other players, the actual spawn location of the Chupacabra is randomly generated within the Nuevo Paraiso territory at any given time during the game. Thus, several areas may have to be repeatedly searched in order to find it.

When the Chupacabra is nearby, a blue marker will appear, along with the message: "A mythical creature has appeared in the area." The Chupacabra looks much like a dark green furred hyena and is incredibly fast, but can be killed by the traditional shot to the head.

If the player is having a hard time locating and hunting the Chupacabra, they should save the game at Chuparosa and turn off the console (or quit game). When the player continues the game, there is a possibility that the Chupacabra will spawn in Perdido, near Las Hermanas.
Numerous players have reported that riding Death while searching for the Chupacabra may stop it from spawning. After hours of searching on Death, players have switched to a normal dead horse and found the Chupacabra almost immediately. However, it is definitely possible to find Chupacabra while riding Death.

NotesEdit

Undead Hunter level 4 is required before the Chupacabra will spawn.
If the player finds the Chupacabra but doesn't kill it, it will disappear and cannot be found again. In order to find the Chupacabra again, the player must exit the game without saving.
Killing the Chupacabra is the only way to unlock the Unicorn.
The Chupacabra can only be encountered once, hence the name The Chupacabra. After it has been killed, it will never appear again for the remainder of the game. To see it again, a new file must be started and it must be found again. Despite this, the stats screen will still display a counter for "Chupacabras Killed".

TriviaEdit

There is a method that can allow the player to loot more or on rare occasions all items from the Chupacabra, simply go to the places listed above (Primera Quebrada recommended) with a Horse of the Apocalypse. Once you arrive you must kill the Horse of the Apocalypse and summon another one, players should attempt to hunt the Chupacabra once you completed the Four Horses of Apocalypse Challenge. Wait there until the Chupacabra appears (which could take a long time) and kill it and loot it, if it fails the player can always repeat it on another save file.
The achievement/trophy title "Chupathingy" appears to be homage to Red vs. Blue; Sarge suggests that Red team give their vehicle the name "Chupathingy", after Grif's various "made-up" suggestions (Puma and a Walrus).
The Chupacabra was originally said to be an upright bipedal creature with green skin, large red eyes and bat wings.
Killing the Chupacabra counts for 4% towards game completion for the Zed's Dead, Baby trophy/achievement.
There is a much greater chance of finding the Chupacabra as Undead John. Some players have reported to spend about 5 hours total in trying to locate the Chupacabra, when it can be found in 20 minutes at the most with Undead John.
The in-game model looks significantly different than how it is depicted in artwork.
Zombies will attack the Chupacabra as if it were human like the Sasquatch. It is probably because the Chupacabra is a living creature.
The Chubacabra is more like the cougar and the wolf. As you can see it run up to you, attack and run off into the bushes like a cougar, and you can hear it bark like a wolf.
