The Abbagoochie (pronounced abba-GOO-cheez) is a creature resembling a cross between an owl, a fox, and a deer. It is indigenous to Costa Rica, where people refer to it as a "dry land piranha" because it will eat anything, including creatures far larger than itself such as horses and cows. If cornered, an abbagoochie will consume itself "in a devilish whirlwind" rather than allow itself to be captured. They mate only once every 6 ½ years. The creature is very likely a hoax; however there're actual reports of the creature that might differentiate it from more legitimate hoaxes as a more validated cryptid.
