The document describes four mythical creatures: The Chupacabra is a lean, almost hairless creature with bat-like features that drains the blood of livestock. The Hodag is a smaller than expected, ferocious creature when provoked with thick fur and the features of different animals. The Nix is a shape-shifting water spirit that can be harmless or lure men to their deaths in fresh water. The Snallygaster is a hideous combination of bird, reptile and octopus that silently swoops to carry away chickens and children with tentacles and a large eye.
