Chuppy's one of the world's "cryptids." This Wikipedia link introduces you to the rest of the cast:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptid
Some of my favorites listed there:
Globster
(He and Michael Moore have never been seen together at the same time.)
Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp
(Was this one in a Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew book?)
Mongolian Deathworm
(in duck sauce)
Pope Lick Monster
(???)
Night Parrot
(AHHHH! My God!! Run for your lives! It's the Night Parrot!)
(And he wants more than just a cracker....)
Polly want a ... chilling scream of terror!
