Loopy, The Scottish Chupacabra
Loopy, and this banner, were obtained from a defunct sideshow. He appears, in fact, to be a long missing specimen from the Neville Colmore Collection . We believe he is a nearly complete natural bog mummy of the goblin species Colmore dubbed, Goblopithecus lupus. Similar to some of the bog mummy fairies previously reported. The provenance is not clear but his stage name, "Loopy"; the reference to his Scottish origins, along with some other photographic and documentary evidence are quite compelling.
There were several specimens reportedly in the collection, mostly bone fragments, skulls, and one other partially mummified head. This one is the most complete. His connection to the chupacabra legend is carnival ballyhoo. The cranium is rather canine but the rest of the skeletal structure is not. Perhaps goblin incursions are the source of the modern chupacabra sightings.
He will be on display to the public in the Craw and Loupe Bros. All Hallows E'en Odditorium this weekend. I will post pictures when I am able and provide some more data on the osteology of the specimen.
