"He creeps and crawls in the midnight hush, silent as a low-flow toilet flush. Watch your step, cause sooner or later, he'll eat you whole, and half your alligator!"
"Crocodile!"
"Whatever.
"
The legend of El Chupanibre

El Chupanibre is a sewer monster that once terrorized the mutants below New New York. He is a giant green humanoid lizard with massive yellow teeth, claws, and bloodshot eyes. He was flushed down the colossal toilet to the sub-sewer by Bender in the course of saving Nibbler.

The Planet Express crew came upon the mutant city after Bender, under the control of Leela's emotions via one of the Professor's inventions, flushed himself down the toilet in search of the lost Nibbler. Upon meeting the sewer mutants, the crew was told the tale of El Chupanibre in musical form courtesy of the mutant Dwayne.[1]

Even though the song says the El Chupanibre eats alligators, it actually eats crocodiles because alligators cannot be flushed.

He also makes an appearance when Leela and Fry are involved in a race during the episode "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles".[2]

Background Notes[]

  • El Chupanibre is a reference to El Chupacabra, the goat sucking mythical creature of Mexican lore.

How Bender flushed him down the toilet[]

In "I Second that Emotion", after flushing Nibbler down the toilet, Bender came to rescue him and faced off against El Chupanibre. It tried to eat Nibbler, while Bender tries to save him from being eaten (if Nibbler was eaten by El Chupanibre, he would be dead canon-wise). Fortunately, Bender flushed El Chupanibre down the sub-sewer and rescued Nibbler before he was eaten.
