Krampus - The Claw of Christmas

The Claw of Christmas, Demonic ally of St. Nicholas.

Physical Description: Krampus is a demonic hellspawn that is half goat and half man, his fur dark with a fade in that matches what would happen with anyone that had lived in the aforementioned Lake of Fire for all their centuries of life. His anatomy is of a towering, seven foot tall creature that bears a whip-like red tongue, pointed ears and horns atop his head. His eyes are like one of a goat, with the iris horizontal and thick, but the color of the iris being pure scarlet red.

Attire Description: Compared to popular belief, he's not naked. The darkness of winter night has managed to hide away the fact he does wear a short kilt made out of a fur coat of knitted sacrificed goat fur, which curiously has a similar color to his actual fur; possibly explaining the confusion. Above each of his pair of dewclaws, he wears leather straps that hangs 4 dusty Christmas bells that are filled with rust; this makes his presence be announced to his victims.

History Background: His name derives from the German word Krampen, which means "claw". Not to be confused with the legend of him being the son of Hel, the Norse god of the underworld, he isn't that entity. He was born many centuries ago and at some point began to work, at the mandate of God, with St. Nicholas himself.

Through the beginning of the myth, while St. Nicholas was known to reward good children with gifts and sweets, Krampus dispenses punishment to the bad behaving children. According to folklore, Krampus shows up in towns the night before December 6, known as Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night. December 6 also happens to be Nikolaustag, or St. Nicholas Day.

Throughout his work history, he's been known for spanking, whipping and even shackling the children he's caught. The worst cases recorded being with him taking the children away in either a basket or barrel to Krampus' lair. Once there they receive further punishment until they are repentant. Or worse, just taken to Hell directly.

Whether he loves his job, hates it, or is seeking redemption from the Lord. Does it really matter? His encounters with people have made him known as a child punisher or heretic hitter.
