Christmas may be jolly in most countries of the world, but in the folklore of Austria, a Bad Santa takes the stage every year. This fearsome character’s name is Krampus: a half-man, half-goat demon whose legend has been around since pagan times, and whose Krampus Parade is now one of Europe's most popular festivals.

Villagers of old believed that Krampus—and his army of ill-tempered elves—roamed the Austrian mountains, causing overall mayhem.

They took particular delight in whipping lazy folks, unruly youngsters, and drunks. Sometimes Krampus abducted miscreants altogether. Parents scared disobedient kids into better behavior by warning them that Krampus was coming for them. Krampus, the Enforcer.
