Solenodonte
A very rare critter found only in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It looks like a mouse but with a pointier snout (it supposedly looks like it loves to drink). It was discovered by some guy named Brandt in 1833 (had to be a damn gringo!). This thing only comes out at night (proving it is an authentic Dominican). (Note: Pajarito is used here to mean critter, though the animal is actually a rare nocturnal mammal. UASD refers to the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo).
In a bathroom at the UASD in Santo Domingo: A: Whoa! A Solenodonte! B: A soleno-WHAT! Man, run, that thing looks like a Chupacabra! A: Damn, find me a stick to kill this damn pest.

Cucaracha
A nasty insect found in every home, in cupboards, bathrooms, and pipes. They are harmless but terrify some people (especially me!), even more so when they fly because you never know where they will land. The best way to kill them is to spray insecticide, close the door, and let them suffocate. Stepping on them is not recommended because the crunching sound is disgusting.
They love being in damp places.
