Description[]

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.

Locations[]

After completing Undead Hunter Challenges rank 4, the Chupacabra can be found:

Though the above locations have been confirmed by other players, the actual spawn location of the Chupacabra is randomly generated within the Nuevo Paraíso 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 typical shot to the head.

  • Chupacabra can be found during Friday morning between 2-3 a.m (found near Perdido three times).
  • Between Agave Viejo and Roca de Madera Monday morning between 2-3 am.
  • 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 undead horse and found the Chupacabra almost immediately. However, it is definitely possible to find Chupacabra while riding Death.
  • Some players found it south of Chuparosa at 5.30am on a Thursday. When zoomed out on the map, it is right on the horse drawing, under the "r" of the word "Chuparosa". It is to be noted that once the Chupacabra has been killed, the Unicorn can be found within a minute north-east of Torquemada (three drawings of horses on the map. It can also be found near Macfarlane's Ranch and Hennigan's stead).
  • On a Rockstar Games Support Q&A, Rockstar stated that the Chupacabra can be found in these locations. "The Chupacabra can be found in the fields North West of Torquemada. When zoomed out on the game map, the area will have a picture of three horses. The creature can also be found South East of Perdido. South of Casa Madrugada, or North of Chuparosa near the river." This can be read on the Rockstar website here.[1]

Notes[]

  • Killing the Chupacabra and completing the Four Horses of The Apocalypse Challenges is the only way to unlock the Unicorn.
  • If you find Horned Goats, try to stay with them for a couple of minutes. They can attract or lead you to the Chupacabra.
  • If the blue area and message appear, but you move far away and you miss the Chupacabra, save the game to skip time, and after a few in-game days it should respawn but not necessarily in the same location.

Trivia[]

Undead Nightmare[]

  • Killing the Chupacabra counts for 4% towards game completion for the "Zed's Dead, Baby" trophy/achievement.
  • The in-game model looks significantly different from how it is depicted in the official Rockstar artwork.
  • Zombies will attack the Chupacabra as if it were human, just as they would the Sasquatch.
  • The Chupacabra AI is a combination of a Cougar and a Wolf. The player can see it run up to them, attack, and run off into the bushes like a cougar, and also hear it bark like a wolf.
  • An extremely rare glitch has occurred where the Chupacabra will never spawn. A few players have reported it to happen. The main story of the game may still be completed, although multiple achievements and both new outfits will be incomplete. The only way to fix this is to start an entirely new game.
  • It is possible to find and kill a Chupacabra multiple times. However, the blue circle on the radar will not appear after the player has already killed their first Chupacabra.
  • Even though the Chupacabra is a mythical animal in the Undead Nightmare DLC, the Consumable items (the Chupacabra teeth, claw, eyes, and heart) received from looting its dead body serve no purpose or use in the game.
  • The Achievement "Chupathingy" may be a reference to the Rooster Teeth series Red vs. Blue, where the character Sarge can't pronounce Chupacabra and instead says "Chupathingy".

Red Dead Redemption 2[]

  • In Red Dead Redemption 2, the Chupacabra is alluded to by Javier Escuella during one random campfire event. He tells the Van der Linde gang that when he was little, his mother would tell him a story about the mythical monster who would hunt down cattle and suck their blood; he adds that though the gang may believe this is a fairy tale, her version is different: that this monster would also eat up little boys who were not behaving in an appropriate manner.
