Krampus, Evil Companion Of St. Nicholas

In the Alpine regions, Krampus is represented by a demon-like creature. Traditionally, young men dress up as the Krampus in the first two weeks of December, particularly on the evening of 5 December, and roam the streets frightening children with rusty chains and bells.
In the aftermath of the Austrian Civil War the Krampus tradition was a target of Austrian Fascists allied with Nazi Germany.
In the arcade game CarnEvil, Krampus is featured as the boss of the Rickety Town level.
