The Legend of Krampus, the demon of Christmas from German folklore is a creature that accompanies Saint Nicholas during the Yuletide season, and who contrarily to Saint Nicholas, punishes children who have been naughty throughout the year. Some may know Krampus as the counterpart of Santa Claus, while others know him as the Christmas devil, Krampus roams the streets during the night of December 5th, kown as Krampusnacht or Krampus night, to find the misbehaved children in company of Saint Nicholas, or sometimes on his own.
Krampus is often depicted as a black-matted fur demon, with sharp fangs and a lolling tongue. He has cloven hooves and huge horns. Krampus is said to carry reeds to whip children with, and which has great importance in ancient pagan tradition. On his back is attached a basket that Krampus uses to carry naughty children to hell.
Festivities related to Krampus are the Krampuslauf, perchtenlauf and more, taking place in Alpine regions.
Although the legend of Krampus as well as the tradition related to him have been banned in Germany by the Christian Church, but has been undergoing a resurgence in later years, thanks to pop-culture. The Krampus figure will notably appear in Christmas horror movies, and these movies will play a major role on Krampus' worldwide popularity.
