Pounce. If the chupacabra moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone . If the target is prone, the chupacabra can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.

What follows is the feared beast of the lower North American desert, that eater of goats and terror in the night known to man as the Chupacabra! This creature actually originated in Puerto Rico in 1995 after sheep were discovered dead, and drained of blood; but shortly after its first ‘appearance’ a comedian there coined a name for the creature and it was suddenly witnessed in more than a dozen other countries.
Basically there are two different versions of this monster: one that’s sort of a reptilian scaly kangaroo, and another that’s more like a hairless dog or bear with spines down its back. The latter is the one we detail here. Studies into the victims of this creature don’t show any signs of exsanguination but bleeding prey dry has remained a part of the Chupacabra’s myth.
Beasts are natural animals whose existence and abilities are nonmagical. A bear and a tyrannosaurus rex are both beasts.
