This is the Sucker Creature, different from the sucker (place).
The Sucker is a mystical entity present in some regions of Brazil, especially in Northeastern folklore. It is described as a creature that sucks the blood of people or animals at night, a kind of folkloric vampire. The legend of the Sucker often arises in rural communities, where mysterious events, such as the death of animals for unknown reasons, are attributed to its action.
Unlike popular culture vampires, the Sucker can have varied characteristics depending on the region. In some stories, it is an invisible creature that attacks without being seen; in others, it can transform into animals, such as bats or even small insects, to get close to its victims.
Although less known than other figures in Brazilian folklore, the Sucker represents the fear of the unknown, of unexplained illnesses, and of sudden death, common themes in many popular legends.
