Krampus's name is growing popular in the United States, but most of us don't really know what he does OR that he is partners with St. Nicholas himself. He is in fact just one of many Christmas demons...

you guys know there are more religions than christianity right? and that winter holidays weren't created by chriatians right??

I love that Krampus' backstory basically boils down to, "No one knows, he just hangs out with Santa."
That one horror fan friend
I like to think krampus just met santa and was like "bro youre nice can i come with you to not be nice?"
What if they are just good buddy’s
Yeah, this is generally how D&D parties form.

Well if the children were good and studied, they wouldn't have made that mistake....

No, he is Saint Nikolaus’ companion, free to do as he wants. In the regions of Austria and Germany where this tradition is still believed in and followed, people believe in “Christkind” instead of Santa.

Fun story. As a DND Game Master, I always hold a Christmas themed game, usually trying to build around less known or more weird Christmas traditions. A couple of years ago, the idea was simple: the players will be Subkraampi, a race I created as a "Lesser Krampus", and their goal was to cause mischief and havoc in a city. They had one night to do so.
Long story short, the characters realised that religion is the biggest mischief you can ever do, so they founded the Church of Kramplikan, with the Krampope leading the church.
I am a proud member of the Kramplikan since that.
Bro the "Krampope" killed me
NOT THE KRAMPOPE 😭😭😭
I need to hear more about this, this is great!!!
Can we make this into reality? The religion. What do we need? 500-1000 people to join? Then we can all have devil's horns & red lenses in our eyes in the picture on our driver's license.
@@Jesse-qh2uqWE NEED TO MAKE THIS A RELIGION FOR TAX EXEMPTION AND COOL DRIVER LICENSES
“Name a weird Christmas character that most people don’t know about”
normal people: “krampus, frau perchta...”
me: *candy-craping log baby*
Hey! Show respect for the Tió!
You mean the pooping log?
In the Netherlands St. Nicholas is also the one who punishes the children. When he abducts children in his sack, he takes them to Spain rather than drowning them. That might have been scary a couple centuries ago, but nowadays that just sounds like a free vacation.
@LagiNaLangAko23, but no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Isn't the Dutch St. Nicholas the one that's always followed around by six to eight men in blackface?
Didn't the Duke of Alba use to be a bogeyman for children in the Netherlands too? Like "If you don't eat your veggies, the Duke of Alba will come and take you away!"
@@benjaminrubin2178 so in the dutch story tradionally St Nicolas is originally a bisshop from turkey but lives in spain. He has helpers with him from africa, nowaydays often miss charaterized as slaves by people opposing this (cuz american politics).
There is no specific number of helpers he has. They are all called Pete (Piet) and in the In modern variant they have different tasks, like Music Pete, Navigator Pete, etc. and they arrive with a boat.
His birthday is 6 December but he delivers the presents the night before. So that is when we celebrate.
@@DrTheRich Right, okay. I was actually referencing a monologue/speech/book segment by an American author named David Sedaris that describes Sinterklaas called "Six to Eight Black Men". Here's him reading it: ruclips.net/video/sbJpRLhaSqs/видео.html
Saint Nicolas pals around with demons. Huh guess he took levels in warlock to get those sweet eldritch invocations.
Summon Lesser Demons? 2-8 demons summoned ;) or SGD for a specific one :D
Mokey show
Blasphemy. Chad level 20 clerics like saint Nicholas just use their divine intervention feature to summon the blessed servants of heaven to Don the mantle of Krampus. No need for infernal corruption like warlock classes, divine power is all we require to assault children, thank you very much.
Nick's pretty metal.
@@kennethsatria6607 I should think so. St. Nicholas WAS the one who punched a guy during the Council of Nicea. Santa is Bad Ass.
I am Bavarian and always loved this myth. It's true that Perchta is probably one of the oldest myths of the Alps. Krampus runs are really cool and the highlight for every child who has a change to see them
Maybe Saint Nicholas was just such a nice guy, that he let Krampus tag along with him for some dude bro company.
That and I bet Nicholas makes a mean Cake
Yes, because every kid studies Quantum computing
Daniel Staples I was gonna point that out!
“What’re you reading there little Tommy?”
“Reading up on the fundamental laws of the universe on the most microscopic level”
Not to mention spinning flax. Real common chore these days. Baba Not-Yaga is just jerking with people on that one.

Friendship No Krampus is from binding of issac
Amen to that
In the Czech Republic, they have a very similar demon called Bertik. He visits the homes of children along with St. Nicholas and an angel. He rings a bell and threatens to stuff the children in a sack and take them to hell if they’ve not been good this year. As if that wasn’t enough psychological torture, he also encourages the children to sing and recite poems for him, one of which goes “Bertik, Bertik, what’s in your sack?”
"happy mid-winter everybody"
By jove I think he's done it! Hes found the perfect winter seasonal greeting! Truly you have master..
Australia: *ahem*
'happy december" boom solved the problem
At the risk of sounding like an ignoramus, Australia doesn't have a winter season?
@@oceanberserker they do, except when the northern hemisphere (Europe, North America, Northern Africa, Asia and northern parts of South America) experience summer.
@@oceanberserker The southern hemisphere's seasons are flipped. December, and therefore Christmas, are summer down under, celebrated with backyard barbecues instead of cozy dinners
@@tomatojerk8380 Oh, yeah. That's right. Winter up here means it's Summer down South.
As an Austrian I have to say this is actually really accurate great on the research although the traditions vary a lot from town to town
Do you think that Perchten come from Frau Perchta? I had never heard of her
Frau Perchta has nothing to do with with the Perchten. (I think...)
@@delayanimation423 the name is a weird coincidence than
@@delayanimation423 Frau Perchta is actually the reason why we Austrians call those "devils" Perchten
@@stephjovi fellow austrian here. i definitely agree, this is pretty accurate despite the small variations from region to region
Moral of the story : Never trust Santa.
But...it's full of presents he wants to give onto you.
_Millions of them!_
@@MagusMarquillin ooof
Santa's ballsack? Sure.
Sarah Bergevin Never trust a genie.
Does that mean Krampus comes in to our house too, with 🎅?!
7:58,wait I lost you at "Beat with a stick".. say that one again?
As a catalonian, that's exactly how it's done
St.nicholas and demons have a good relationship 👍
im not sure hes a saint im pretty sure hes a demon himself or a failed attempt at becoming an antichrist
Wow what an interesting set of stories so informa WAIT WHAT WAS THAT LAST ONE

He pooped out a sick magic kit for me once
The Tió is the log; they have those in Catalonia and Aragon and yes, they treat them for days like they are guest - they cover him with a blanket and leave food for it.
Then the night of the 24 the children go and ... beat it with rods or walking sticks, singing a song that basically says "Caga tió" - "Shit, Tió!"
And then when they rise next day, surprise, the Tió shitted sweets and candy, lets share them.
And you want to know what is even weirder?
...
It is not the only shit-related Christmas tradition there.
There is the custom of, in the middle of your "belén", your nativity scene, have a "caganer". A figure of somebody squatting to shit.
It is so popular than now there are "novelty" caganers, with famous figures of the news or the arts or sport.
No, I dont have any idea why Catalonian Christmas is so invested in poo.
@@delarkaBCN
What do I want to ask?
@8:03
excuse me wtf
Edit: Thanks for the like everyone
Oh yeah! We do that! We also have a shitting dude hidden in the Nativity called the Caganer (the Shitter). Merry Christmas!
Lol I am dying
Spain is so weird.
Krampus is afraid of catalonian children, and I am to.
*Rip the Log*
Really a nice gift from you guys, tackling a myth from my country. As a kid I was often watching the "Perchtenläufe" (Or Perchta-runs) where a horde of demons ran through the village.
And of course they are real!
*hides his wooden mask and fur under the bed*
The Krampus creatures remind me so much of a tradition in my own country.
In Bulgaria somewhere around the end of Winter there are people called "Kukeri" who dress in furs and wear big intricate masks with horns and fangs portraying animals or monsters. And, guess what, they also wear GIANT BELLS. Sound familiar, eh? Their scary attire and the noise the giant bells make are supposedly used to scare away the evil spirits of winter (in similar fashion of how scary halloween costumes ward of spirits). They go on parades, dance, jump and play out scenes (agrarian/fertility related if I'm not mistaken). It's most probably an ancient pagan tradition and the same thing can be seen throughout the Balkans and I've heard about similar traditions in other parts of Europe too. The Krampus parades in central Europe are quite similar I suppose. I think scary wintery monsters like the Krampus and in the ones the Kukeri portray definitely have some ancient common roots. Just goes to show how far back the origin of this myth probably goes.
Poor Knecht Ruprecht, not even a mention...
Oh Yeah, good old childfriendly Krampus :D
Guess he'll have to keep his potato peels ):
Who's Knecht Ruprecht? He sounds someone from Harry Potter or HP Lovecraft's works.
In other parts of Germany, he's the one that travels with St. Nikolaus and beats up the bad kids. But he uses a rod instead of a whip.
*didnt learn prayers* "guess ill die"
Thats how it works on a good christian Minecra..... ähhh in a good christian household ;D
*mercy i learnt mah prayers pls*
Krampus is like my Big Brother. Because *Big Brother is watching*

Can. Can you talk about the log that poops candy next year. Or next week.
I've never thought it was weird. Now I have a different perspective of it after seeing this video😂
erd249 Actually quantum mechanics forbids this
Sounds like an eastern European equivalant of a piñata.
@@danielsjohnson It's a Catalonian tradition in Northern Spain. Throughout the country another famous Christmas symbol is the Cagane, a man, who squats down to poop.
Its called a Tia cailda
Belsnickel is not the same character as Krampus. Belsnickel is from the Palatinate, which is also the region of origin of most of the Pennsylvania Dutch (and mine too btw). Belsnickel looks more man and less goat-like than Krampus. His name comes from how we pronounce the word "Pelz" (fur) and the name Nicholas. In Nothern Germany there is another similar character called "Knecht Ruprecht", who unlike Krampus and Belsnickel, isn't a demon at all, just an evil man.
Pere Fouettard in France
Had an xmas D&D oneshot the other day. Saint Nick was gone and his son, kris, had made the pole a most unjolly place. The loyal elves, the snowmen, would drag off those in the workshops and bakeries who sowed dissent.
They freed the Krampus from the tree he was sealed in by santa, Nick's father, kris' grandfather. The order of things had been long since broken, before the kids were getting coal, and with Kris ' lack of care, presents like the good ones.
Krampus beat Kris to death with his switch and the head of the teddy bear department was elected the new Santa. Christmas was saved. I mean, bad kids are being beat with a switch again but the nice list will be much better next year.

Wild Hunt? Praise The Erlking
Ess'tedd, Esse Creasa
The wild hunt is lead by wodan (Odin), the erlking is an Adaptation of the danish Ellerking (elve king) i don't know if you could say Elve King=Wodan
Edit: i just realised that erlking was meant as a version of harlekin which goes back to old English herleking which is kin to german Heerkönig meaning "King of Hosts" and that definitly refers to Woden/Odin. I first thought of the German Erlkönig which goes back to the danish Ellerkong (King of Elves), who may not be Odin after all
@@majan6267 Nah, Odin sometimes rides with the hunt, but he's usually Santa at that point.
@@Ry9022 actually it seems that the wild hunt varies wildly from region to region all over europe, in northern countries odin/woden leads it other places somebody else. In southern Germany sometimes even Perchta leads it
@@majan6267 Nonesense, even children know of Eredin, the king of the hunt
8:03 I wanna learn about that myth!
Kids:karmpus is not real.
Kids in the camp:KRAMPUS!
I prefer the version I learned as a kid: "You better watch out, you better not cry, you better be good, I'm telling you why... Santa Claus knows where you live. Santa Claus can break into your house whilst you're sleeping. Santa Claus is watching YOU."
Santa Claus wants to know your location

Germans, the hell happened to you to spawn these legends?
Nothing worse than most of Europe. Seriously, look at the mythos of almost every European region and it's just as messed up.
Thats how we keep our children from playing fortnite all day long.
whait, you don't have those demons? in our city we had besmattel instead of krampus, every city git their own local demon - but i highly suggest reading the original (not the censored version) of grims fairytales, those are the storys we grew up
As someone from northern Germany, all I‘m gonna say is: NO.
It‘s those weird Catholics from the south who wanna scare their children to death. Must be the thin mountain air or something.
The regional thing where I come from is that St Nicolaus also has a companion, but it‘s just a fucking donkey carrying his bag.
Der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland.

Beware, for all myths, legends and rumors are based off some sliver of truth.
Here the sliver of truth being "it's easier to get your kids to fall in line when you give them a boogeyman to be terrified of."

You pronunciation of Krampus is so perfect. Just Perfect.
I like how a lot of legends like these amount to: "do what i want or I'll send you to hell" :p
For anyone who is interested in Christmas/Yule mythology, I suggest the book The Old Magic of Christmas, it goes over almost every kind of folklore the belongs to the Christmas Season.
I have looked into the origins of Christmas before and realized it wasn't worth celebrating anymore!
Ah, the classic christian "be good or you will be suffering until the end of times", because we love you
Yep
That's what happens when Church leaders play telephone with their teachings over a thousand years. "Jesus came so you don't have to suffer until the end of times. So unless you don't want it, let's thank him by being good." got cut down to "Either be good or you have to suffer until the end of times."
