Good ole Krampus. Some of you might have heard of him, but probably don't know too much about the (terrifying) details. 

Well, for starters he's half goat and half demon. Odd, but okay. He rolls into town on December 5th with the main aim of his visit being to literally beat "wicked" children with birch sticks into being nice. The next morning, December 6th just so happens to be St. Nick Day and in traditional German culture, children check their shoes to see whether they got presents for being nice or a rod for being naughty. 

So, basically, he is Santa's BFF because he keeps children in line just in time for Christmas. Nothing like a little Christmas demon, eh?

Seen with his signature birch sticks

And the chains that bind him..or don't?

And if you were a really, really bad kid you could get dragged off to Hell

BFFs 4-eva!

He's just one of many Christmas demons

This is...disturbing.

Parents tried to scare their kids into submission with mentions of Krampus

Babies are not even safe!

He has a tongue like a boa constrictor

"Whelp little Johnny, you did push your sister...so..."

The Catholic Church tried to ban him...didn't work.

So clearly Krampus parties popped up.

He even has a handy basket to stuff a particularly bad kid in

Ah, good ole Krampus. You are just so damn disturbing.
