Krampus, also known as “the Christmas Demon” & “the Shadow of Saint Nicholas” is the titular main antagonist of the Christmas comedy-horror film Krampus. One third Ram, One third Bull, One third Demon, he is an ancient being who is known by many as the "Shadow of Saint Nicholas". According to folklore, he originates from Krampusnacht, a holiday that is celebrated in the Alpine Regions of Austria, Bavaria and Romania.
Appearance[]
Krampus is an enormous, monstrous, hunch-backed creature that has cloven, goat-like hooves, a pair of large, curving Ram-like horns, and large hands with long, clawed fingers. He dresses in a long, thick, patched, red, hooded robe trimmed with dirty grey fur and spattered entirely in chains while his hooves and long demon tail are shown sticking out from underneath it. Krampus also wears a tortured, demonic Santa-like face mask that covers his entire face, except for his red goat-like eyes and mouth, which just be seen through it.
Fate[]
Krampus & his minions captured the entirety of the Engel family, only at the end of the film to reveal that he gave them a second chance at life and is now, in his underworld lair in the mountains of Central Europe, spying on them through a surveillance snow globe.
Personality[]
Unlike Santa, Krampus is, as stated by Omi, "a much darker, more ancient spirit". He is a malevolent being who punishes those who lose their Christmas spirit. Krampus punishes non-believers by first tormenting and terrifying them with the aid of his helpers, which consist of evil living toys and dark Elves. He then picks them off one by one, sending them to the underworld and torturing them; however, he can be merciful: for those that he chooses to spare, he lets them off with a stern warning that, like Santa Claus / St. Nicholas, he will be watching.
