The Legend

Huay Chivo is a legendary Maya monster, described as a half-man, half-beast entity. This creature has burning red eyes and is unique to the Yucatán Peninsula. Huay Chivo is known as an evil sorcerer and typically possesses the ability to transform into supernatural animals such as goats, dogs, or deer to hunt livestock. Recently, it has also been associated with the Chupacabra. Huay Chivo is specifically noted in the Yucatán, Campeche, and Quintana Roo states of Guatemala and Mexico, and reports of Huay Chivo's activities have been intermittently covered by the media in these regions. The local Maya people near Valladolid in the Yucatán believe that Huay Chivo is an evil sorcerer who transforms into a goat to play tricks and eat livestock.
