Schatzy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Well, a Krampus is this Goose, satyr, demon thing that was a folk legend in the Alpine mountain regions. He would eat kids that misbehaved or lacked holiday spirit. Krampus would accompany Saint Nicholas on his Christmas runs and stuffed kids into his sack to devour for a Christmas dinner.Here's some artwork of him.http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&tbo=d&tbm=isch&tbnid=dkhdg83F-PEf_M:&imgrefurl=http://kontrapunktus.blogspot.com/2011/12/gru-vom-krampus.html&docid=aush5aebEW_8-M&imgurl=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--TgHz78Z-gg/Tvbl6TimBqI/AAAAAAAAArY/Hsb6emHtbpE/s1600/Krampus5.jpg&w=1000&h=1541&ei=ztTYUIzaCoe6iwLy6YC4Dg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=238&vpy=85&dur=396&hovh=279&hovw=181&tx=99&ty=126&sig=110262008444105138561&page=1&tbnh=140&tbnw=87&start=0&ndsp=79&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0,i:97&biw=2144&bih=1088But yeah, most people refer to him as Krampus, but it is a krampus.Just thought I'd share this since it's a bit interesting.

Sliver Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Yeah, I looked up Krampus the second I saw it in this game. I actually thought it was something that Binding of Isaac came up with before I saw it in this game Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/5363-krampus-is-a-creature-not-a-name/#findComment-42463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadlyFoez Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Good. Now I know what to tell my children when they're naughty.The little bastards should have been snagged by the krampus at least a few hundred times by now.

Sliver Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Yea the Binding of Isaac totally invented krampus, devils, angels, and Isaac. Totally.I'm not saying that. I had just not heard of Krampus before the game, and assumed that it was just something Edmund came up with.
