Krampus is also a popular yet terrifying German mythological creature. Krampus is this horned and scary-looking, anthropomorphic creature. Moreover, it is quite hairy with either black or brown and has cloven hooves as well. The Krampus is like a big, scary goat that walks on its two legs. But, definitely much scarier, scarier enough to scare the shit out of you.

The Krampus is usually seen carrying chains for thrashing just for intimidation. He also carries a bundle of birch branches or a whip to spank the naughty children. He also had a sack strapped on his back to kidnap the children and drag them to the underworld. Now, don't mix that with the St-Nicholas, Krampus is the opposite. They just give the naughty children reward or punishment. Good children get their dream toys and bad may get coal or something not for their use.
