❄️ Krampus is a folkloric legend mainly focused in Central Europe. He is depicted as a horned figure and is described as half goat and half demon. During the Christmas season, he punishes the children who have misbehaved in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards the well-behaved with gifts. In several regions he is seen as one of the companions of Saint Nicholas including Austria, Bavaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and Slovenia. While his origins are unclear most folklorists and anthropologists agree that he is pre-Christian.
