Description
It's only fitting that I post this on Christmas eve.From Germanic Christmas folklore, Krampus is the devilish-looking companion of Saint Nicholas who punishes the naughty children by beating them with his bundle of sticks or tossing them into the basket on his back and carrying them off to hell.
With the advent of modern printing technology, he was popularized on postcards bearing the message "Gruss vom Krampus" (Greetings from Krampus) as a tongue-in-cheek reminder to behave during the holiday season.
With that in mind, happy holidays to you all.

Looks awesome! He look's a bit like the Krampus from the Hellboy Comic.

This would be a spooky thing to dress up as for Christmas, but I would do it! ...if I had the money. I would even paint the words Gruß vom Krampus on the side of the basket!
