Rulings

2017-09-29

If a resolving spell or ability instructs a specific creature to explore but that creature has left the battlefield, the creature still explores. Effects that trigger when a creature you control explores, such as that of Lurking Chupacabra, trigger if appropriate.

2017-09-29

You don’t choose a target for Lurking Chupacabra’s ability until after your creature has finished exploring.
