Chinchillas are not evil. They like to chew things and you have to keep them entertained.. but mine is very sweet and never bites.
The people who make and wear coats made of chinchilla fur are evil!!! It takes over 100 chinchillas to make one fur coat.
Depending on the color of the fur, different chinchillas cost much more than others. The standard grey chinchilla with a white belly costs around $70 from a breeder (more from a pet store, at least $100). Beige, tan, ebony, and violet chinchillas cost around $200 because they are more rare.
I only paid $45 for mine, as he was a rescue animal.
They can live to be 15-20 years old, so adopting a chinchilla is a long-term commitment. BTW, I kinda like the name Gus.
