[xntuomwv] Chupacabras opera

Create an opera based on the chupacabras.  It starts out like Bat Boy The Musical (mysteriously attacked livestock), then becomes like Don Quixote (a hero on a possibly impossible quest to slay a mythical monster), then, like the Cthulhu Mythos, El Chupacabras is revealed to be more horrible than could ever be originally imagined, and finally revealed to be only the tip of the iceberg of a vast conflict between the mortal and immortal mythical realms, like Wagner's Ring.

Of course, if we are comparing it to Wagner's Ring but more epic, then it can't just be an opera: it needs to be a 12 opera cycle.

Inspired by a juxtaposition in an off-hand comment.

We use "chupacabras" as a singular noun, as was the original Spanish where it translates to "sucker of goats (plural)", to heighten the monstrosity in how a single creature sucked many goats dry.
