Krampus is a traditional creature of German/Austrian pre-christian origin. Typically large groups of Krampus would descend upon towns and villages on December 5th and punish the naughty children and wicked adults, then the following night Saint Nikolaus would come and give candy and gifts to the good children.
Here in America, Krampus could surely find full-time work with all the naughtiness and wickedness that abounds…
