Christmas 12: Krampus

Similar to what I've been doing for Halloween, I'm going to draw a holiday creature each of these 12 days to Christmas. Today it's the Krampus!

Whereas Santa rewards good children with presents, Krampus punishes naughty kids by giving them coal... from his own body. Blech, truly a gross and useless "gift". But the really bad eggs get taken away to Krampus' lair, where they are beaten then eaten and eventually converted into krampus-coal and later still given to naughty children. At this point the child is supposed to repent, but many are all too happy to ruin another's Christmas.
