Mr.Krotpong -I've still got so much work to do... I'm gonna grind it out pretty quick, though. The header is almost finished, bags and other accessories are on order. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks!
Origins of Krampus via wikipedia
The history of the Krampus figure stretches back to pre-Christian Germanic traditions. He also shares characteristics with the satyrs of Greek mythology. The early Catholic Church discouraged celebrations based around the wild goat-like creatures, and during the Inquisition efforts were made to stamp them out. But Krampus figures persisted, and by the 17th century Krampus had been incorporated into Christian winter celebrations by pairing them with St. Nicholas.
