Homebrew Chupacabra Species Details
Chupacabras lurk in the deserts and outskirts of the world, and the nightmares of adventurers everywhere. In the wild they are fiercely territorial, and for hundreds of years they never came close to civilization or let civilization come to them. However, a large number were eventually domesticated and used as minions for crime lords. Many still are, but some escaped and learned how to function as members of society. Today nearly all major cities have a small Chupacabra population, looked down on from afar and feared from up close. They tend to be very close with other Chupacabras, and distrustful of any other race.
