Description

The vampire is a werewolf from the mythology of the indigenous population of Chile, Peru and Argentina.

It is usually described as a flying snake with bat wings, but other details can be connected to the image.

It is often compared to a chupacabra: it attacks domestic and wild animals and sucks their blood. It is believed that he has a red liquid droppings, which usually flows down from the trees. He is able to emit a fairly strong and sharp squeal, as well as poison the air and cause strong waves in the lakes and rivers near which he lives.
