Krampus - Demon

Krampus


Krampus is a legendary demonic creature from the myth and is associated with Christmas. Yes this demon from the Alpine folklore is said to punish the little bad children and also kidnaps them. Have you seen the movie Ice age ? there's a series about Santa's Naughty list, well that naughty list is said to be maintained by none other than Krampus. Santa Claus gives the presents while Krampus gives the punishment. Krampus is said to have black thick fur covering his whole body with long finger nails and extremely long tongue. Along with long horns and cloven feet, the folklore says that he eats the bad little children who were naughty and drags them back to the underworld filled with fire. Krampus is said to be a beast carrying a basket or sack to carry the naughty kids along with his weapons which usually are whips, chains and rods. His soul happiness is torturing little children, especially on the eve of Christmas while Santa is busy distributing the presents to good kids. In German the name Krampus is claw, seriously who would name a demon claw. But that's cool right I am gonna name my son Claw, because it's swag. Urban legend or not Krampus has got himself a prominent place in literature, religion (some even celebrate him) and in folklore's too. But if you ask me I would say the parents should grow their kids by telling story's of Krampus and other beast so they would realize if they don't behave themselves krampus is gonna whip them one day and drag them with him to a world filled with fire. Kid's these days need some discipline and manner's. The krampus tradition continues even up to date though the government in some places have prohibited people from dressing up like Krampus and scare the hell out of kids. Even there are several reports made by kids saying that they would behave themselves because they can't get any more beatings from Krampus on Christmas. There are several other reports made by kids worldwide.
