Sweetly curled up, this youngling has many spikes running along its back, pressed close as it slumbers. Soft to the touch, these quills will harden as it ages, become powerful weapons. Small fangs protrude from the baby's mouth, which bites gently now and then, deep in dreams. You reach down to pet it, running a hand along the soft fur. With a squeak it awakes, startled, spikes standing straight up. Seeing you it relaxes, folding its stiff quills down slowly and resting its chin on your knee, nudging your hand for more rubs.
Vampiric in nature, these creatures are fearsome to look at; covered with spikes and boasting large fangs, they are swift and dangerous. Many northern farmers complain of discovering their reindeer drained of blood, the work of wild chuparenos. Magis often take on such cases, finding the culprits and relocating them to the plains on Arkene or Boreus. Often an egg or two can be obtained in such cases. When tamed and raised in human company, they appear to be more of a dog-like creature, the spikes growing out of their backs typically lying tight against their fur and harmless, unless they are threatened. When being attacked, their spikes raise up and stiffen, an effective defense against those who would do them harm. With sharp teeth and strong jaws, chuparenos can be extremely vicious, and need to be trained effectively.
