Line 9:
Despite the frightening overtones, Krampus is quite a popular character in the Alpine countries. He brings some harmless "scary" fun to the Christmas season, not unlike what happens at Halloween. He is also not alone as the companion of St. Nicholas. Compare him with [[wikipedia:Knecht Ruprecht|Knecht Ruprecht]], a German character who performs a similar role (though more as a stern authority figure than a nasty devil), or [[wikipedia:Perchta|the Lady Perchta]], a female version of Krampus who can either be [[Hot as Hell|drop-dead gorgeous]] or [[Nightmare Fuel|hideously ugly]]. See also [[Bad Santa]], which the Krampus is occasionally portrayed as.
