An excellent suggestion, thanks daisyfields, which I hadn't thought of, but which - unfortunately - doesn't quite meet the list criterion, because the singular form is chupacabra, which doesn't have the noun part in plural form. (Does that make sense?)

By the way, as far as I know, all of the words on this list are masculine nouns and remain unchanged in the plural form.

Oh, I see. I hadn't thought of that.

Does it have to come out in DRAE. Because if not, you could use atrapanovios.

Ooh, that is so cool! Thanks, df. I had never seen these before. Definitely belongs on the list.

Matamoscas, as well as having a really cool name, are awfully useful in a Peruvian summer.

I knew a bloke in Chile who was called el mataburros by his friends on account of his reckless driving and history of accidents on a particular behairpinned mountain road.
