[1] Created in February 2017 by Renan Ribeiro, owner of the TV Maresol profile, the character he invented quickly gained repercussion in the Brazilian internet scene.
[3] The creature is defined as a "sort of extraterrestrial being mixed with a gay porn actor" who attacked people in the inland village of Goianinha, Rio Grande do Norte, abusing the population in unconventional ways, by sucking the anuses of the victims.
[2] The first reference to Chupa-Cu emerged on February 17, 2017, on TV Maresol's Twitter profile.
[3] Renan chose Goianinha as the first thing that came from his mind, and the Chupa-Cu helped increase the number of followers on his profile; in two days, TV Maresol went from 150 followers to 1200, and other websites such as BuzzFeed Brazil started talking about the subject.
A similar indigenous narrative, the diabo sem cu (Assless Devil) circulated on social media in 2016, as means of debauchery.
