Chupacabras

The Chupacabras (チュパカブラ Chupakabura) are an enemy in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. It not to be confused with the Cave Troll in the Castlevania series, which are originally called the Chupacabra. It has its own mythology unique to the Lords of Shadow universe.

Background
Often portrayed as evil, blood-sucking monsters, the Chupacabras' only real obsession are magical relics. When in the presence of such artifacts, they will do anything to get them. However, the Chupacabras are not inherently evil creatures, and most of the time, after a short game of hide and seek, they will return anything they have stolen.

Gabriel encounters several Chupacabras during his journey to defeat the Lords of Shadow.
