Biography

El Chupanibre is a sewer monster that once terrorized the mutants below New New York. He is a giant green humanoid lizard with massive yellow teeth and claws. He was flushed down the colossal toilet to the sub-sewer by Bender in the course of saving Nibbler.

It is possible that El Chupanibre was once a mundane animal or even human that was transformed into its current shape via the mutagenic properties of the waters in the sewers.

Additional Info

Trivia

The name "El Chupanibre" is based on the Puerto Rican and Mexican myth of El Chupacabra, which means "the goat-sucker". The monster supposedly sucks the blood of goats and other livestock. However, the suffix "nibre" is gibberish, so the name "Chupanibre" has no direct translation.
