The krampus



When you think of Christmas ,you think of joy and laughter , the season of goodwill ,giving and receiving ,love and warmth and of course the man himself Santa Claus ,who is the personification of joy and laughter the season of goodwill, giving and receiving and an love and warmth.

But there is also another character who is said to share the Christmas holiday with Santa Claus , a character who is only interested in punishment and terror rather than happiness and joy.

He goes by the name of... krampus.

The krampus has ha many different image variations over the years ,but the following seems to be the most common physical characteristics of the Christmas demon .

Krampus is describe as a very large half goat half demon humanoid figure he is covered from top to bottom in hair usually black or brown,

he is said to walk on one cloven hoof on one leg an and a bears claw on the other .

On his head two very large curling horns point up to the sky , his face is a horrendous misshapen horror to see ,with eyes that bulge from there sockets, and sharp fangs and a long pointed tongue that hangs from his grotesque mouth.

He carries long heavy chains which are said to represent the binding of the devil by the christian church , these chains are used to thrash about to scare and intimidate and restrain his prey .

Hanging from the chains are many small bells, that terrify any of his victims as they hear there distinct chime as he approaches .

He also carries bundles of birch branches which he likes to strike naughty children with , and on his back keep either a basket or a sack ,,but unlike Santa there are no toys inside ,instead he uses it to carry children away to be drowned ,eaten or taken to hell.
