She also is seen wearing a white torn dress, and she has these sharp claws in her hand she’s also seeing wearing pigtails tied with red berries and a Holley. She also has these large feathery wings. She also has a long thin tongue.

Personality[]

Perchta has a crazy behavior in Krampus despite given short screen time like Tik Tok. She emerges from the roof in the Attic once Sarah, Tom, and Linda tried to shoot Der Klown. She attempts to mutilate Sarah’s face, pinning her to the ground, but is stopped by Linda and Tom, once all three were occupied and Der Klown was escaping through the vent, Perchta licks he tongue at Sarah and latches herself and Sarah to some Christmas lights, she ends up getting choked by the lights while Perchta laughs and chirps at her after getting her hands tangled with the lights but was able to control the strength of Sarah’s body with her wings. When Linda gets advantage over Teddy Klaue, she cuts the Christmas lights making Perchta instantly get pulled above (Possibly knocked out from impact of hitting the roof). Later when the family is in the living room, Der Klown and Perchta come from the roof, instantly attacking Howard before he could shoot Der Klown. Sarah, Tom, and Linda try to pull Perchta off of Howard while Teddy gets shot in the head. They throw her above and she gets shot in the chest, killing her or only wounding her. Her corpse is taken out the house, and is seen inside of Krampus’ toy bag underneath the Nutcracker on the left, possibly being one of the many toys that kill Omi. Perchta isn’t in the rest of the movie’s entirety but she is with the other henchmen of Krampus at the end of the movie jumpscaring the audience.

Origins[]

Perchta is named after the Krampus-like Holiday character of Frau Perchta. In her respective folklore, Perchta is a sorceress who lives in the mountains and who hunts down naughty children to disembowel with her silver knife. She also has a large number of demonic followers who resemble the Krampus known as the Perchten or Straggele which tear naughty children apart and who can turn invisible. It is believed that the character of Perchta was originally a Germanic (or Celtic) goddess affiliated with the Winter Solstice and the mountains.
