Like I said not long ago, making Pathfinder monsters is something that I do just for fun. Give me an image and I can make a monster from it. This is one of the reasons why I love Gennifer Bone’s Patreon. By supporting it, she makes new monster art, and I get an image to make a new monster from. If any other artists have a similar set-up, please let me know. Today’s monster comes from another of Bone’s images. I hope you enjoy it.

Not related to a true chupacabra, the cave chupacabra is named so because of its vague resemblance. The dwarven name for them translates as “bat-faced crawler.” It hides in the darkness and attacks those it deems weak and vulnerable. Mostly a solitary hunter, it occasionally fights in pairs to take down larger targets or when it is especially hungry.
