The Chupacabra is a legendary cryptid orginating in Puerto Rico and Mexico. Thought to suck the blood out of livestock, this mystical creature has become known as the Latino Bigfoot.
Hot on the heels of the latest Chupacabra scandal comes something a bit tamer, the Hot Pink Fur Chupacabra. Created by Christina Ward of Milwaukee, this lovely plush toy is soft and promises to not scare your children or kill your goats.
Implications - I love the ridiculous color Christina Ward used to craft this lovely mythical creature. Who knew that a creature of most people's nightmares could be so adorable that you'd want to cuddle up next to it when you sleep at night.
