Krampus is a mythical creature often depicted as a horned, anthropomorphic figure with a sinister appearance. It is associated with folklore and traditions in certain European cultures, particularly during the Christmas season. Known as the dark counterpart to Santa Claus, Krampus is said to punish misbehaving children, contrasting with Santa's gift-giving nature. The symbols "👹🎅" represent this duality, with the 👹 representing Krampus and 🎅 representing Santa Claus.
