It was three or four feet tall, with skin like that of a dinosaur, it had bright eyes the size of hens eggs, long fangs and multicolored spikes down its head and back.” Another description of the beast, which is more recent, is one with a more canine appearance with, again, large fangs, spikes down its spine, large claws, and lacking the hair or fur of a typical dog (Team Chupa, 2015, p.…
