Chupacabra

The phantom of the perimeter. It is the nature of the "Peripheral Threat"—the thing that exists just beyond the reach of the porch light, taking what is yours and leaving only a cold mystery behind. It is the predator of the homestead, representing the vulnerability of our built world to the unseen hungers of the night. It is the sound of a struggle in the dark where no footprints are left in the morning.
