Hope you enjoy the 2nd Christmas-themed video for the channel! 🐐🎅 ►► More animations here: kzbin.info/aero/PL8sS7OmU44fNiIPzlk4M7GxVyBIO9qlHo ►►► Wishing you the best whereever you are :) -Aaron Edit: as some commenters have pointed out, the Space Dandy Krampus is based on a Japanese folk lore legend which is similar to Krampus but not quite Krampus, either way it’s a cool monster so I’m glad to let you guys know about it!

I love the 2015 film version of krampus. I like how it mixes the whole goat motif with the fact that he is essentially evil santa. Perfection

Agreed that one is my favorite and they should do a Crossover between Krampus (2015) and Violent Night Santa Claus since that one was once a Viking!

[@jessemillan1385]

I wonder what Krampus will look like in Marvel Comics. He'll probably be Huge, a little taller than Hulk, furry, has long horns, Bulky, maybe have the ability to take the form of a handsome man, and is probably a demon from Hell that used to be a servant of Mephisto, and would have a Rivalry with Santa Claus (who's a Mutant).

I'm pretty sure a majority of these movies are very low-budget and were made to cash in on the success of the 2015 movie. Though some of them might still be enjoyable.

Thanks for including Venture Bros. Krampus. That show introduced me to the concept, and I was so happy to later find out that the Krampus was a preexisting myth and not just something made up for the show.

I'm pretty sure the Space Dandy version is actually Namahage, an Oni from Japanese folklore who fulfills a similar role of punishing naughty children.

[@georgeray1906]

Well to be fair the Namahage can be considered Japan's answer to the Krampus since both go after and punish naughty children.

When Santa and krampus were brothers,Santa was hit by lightning By accident and lost his memory

[@miljanuoramo5112]

The creature in Rare Exports isn't actually Krampus, but Nuuttipukki. In Finnish tradiotion Nuuttipukki was this creature that when given boose and offerings would bring a good farming year. Nuuttipukki slowly became this Finnish pre-Santa, as an adult would come dressed as a semi-goat to ask if there were good chilren in the house. Unfortunately, these costumes were usually scary and frightened children, so more childfriendly Santa became the new Nuuttipukki. The premise of Rare Exports relies on a Finnish pun that causes the misunderstanding in the movie. Santa in Finland is called Joulupukki (lit. Christmas Goat, Pukki= goat), since the original Santa figure in Finnish culture was a goat. So the movies protagonist think the elves are Santas (aka Joulupukki), failing to realise that the term Christmas goat literally means a giant Christmas goat.
