CHONCHON

Mapuche Demon

Also known as Chonchonyi

Fearsome Big-eared Vampire Monster

The huge ears and jaguar fangs are a dead giveaway. He likes to suck the blood of sick people. There’s no accounting for taste.

Beware! They can also hide themselves by shapeshifting into the form of a normal human. So pay careful attention to anyone you meet who happens to have big ears – they could be a Chonchon in disguise.
