Krampus is a figure from Central European folklore, known for his role in Christmas traditions. He is often portrayed as a horned, half-goat and half-demon creature who accompanies Saint Nicholas. While Saint Nicholas rewards well-behaved children with gifts, Krampus is said to punish those who have misbehaved. In some stories, he carries chains or a bundle of sticks to scare or even take away naughty children. The legend of Krampus adds a darker, more frightening element to the holiday season, contrasting with the kindness and generosity associated with Saint Nicholas.
