Krampus is a Southern Germanic/Austrian myth/folk lore about a demonic companion of Saint Nicholas, that takes part with Saint Nicholas during the Christmas Season to punish naughty and wicked children in contrast to Saint Nicholas' rewarding good and well behaved children with toys and other gifts.
Like most things that require reading, an interest in foreign cultures or anything that may exist outside their cultural comfort zone, most Americunts had no idea that the Krampus even existed until The Venture Brothers did a Christmas special introducing the Krampus in their 2004 episode A Very Venture Christmas. Like most new and good ideas that are introduced elsewhere and due to other people's creativity, Seth MacFarlane quickly latched onto such an interesting Public Domain character and abused it for all it was worth, every Christmas since 2010, in his American Dad revision of Family Guy until no one even cared when a Krampus movie was released in 2015.
Die Krampusnacht
Die Krampusnacht or The Night Of Krampus usually preceeds The Feast Of Saint Nicholas on the 5th of December in European, Catholic communities. To be inclusive of American traditions and to participate in that Capitalistic tradition of greedy Christmas, many have started associating the Krampus with Santa Claus and started having him visit naughty children on Christmas Eve as Santa's companion so that Christmas Cards, ornaments, figures and toys can be sold at that time of the year when most people throw caution to the wind when it comes to their credit and spend to spend.
