Krampus
The Krampus comes out of Austria and Hungary, he is said to accompany Santa on Christmas Eve, warning and punishing the bad children of the world - a direct contrast to Santa, who gives presents.
The word Krampus comes from a German word for "Claws". He is usually represented as an Incubus type demon with large horns and a large tongue
He is often depicted with a basket on his back which he uses to carry the unruly young children off to hell!
