St. Nicholas himself became popular in Germany around the eleventh century. The feast dedicated to this patron of children is only one winter occasion in which children are the objects of special attention, others being <a href="/wiki/St._Martin%27s_Day" title="St. Martin&#39;s Day">Martinmas</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Massacre_of_the_Innocents" title="Massacre of the Innocents">Feast of the Holy Innocents</a>, and <a href="/wiki/New_Year%27s_Day" title="New Year&#39;s Day">New Year's Day</a>.

A large literature, much of it by European folklorists, bears on these subjects. ... Austrians in the community we studied are quite aware of "heathen" elements being blended with Christian elements in the Saint Nicholas customs and in other traditional winter ceremonies. They believe Krampus derives from a pagan supernatural who was assimilated to the <a href="/wiki/Christian_devil" class="mw-redirect" title="Christian devil">Christian devil</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-HONIGMANN-264_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HONIGMANN-264-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>The Perchten figures persisted but are unrelated to the Krampus. Krampus is a Perchten- and Straggele-inspired figure but has very distinct physical traits that make Krampus unique to his cousins. Krampus is usually featured as a man with horns with one grotesque human foot and one foot of a goat, typically covered in black hair, and unique to Krampus; also a very long snake or dragon-like tongue. </p><p>In the 17th century Krampus was paired with <a href="/wiki/St._Nicholas" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Nicholas">St. Nicholas</a> as a helper. Because Nicholas is a saint, it wasn’t logical or deemed saintly behavior for Nicholas to deliver punishments. Therefore a helper was assigned to St Nicholas; such as Farmhand Rupert, Smutzli, or Père Fouettard who would go down the chimney or punish the naughty children. Krampus served St Nicholas in the same role.<sup id="cite_ref-Der_Spiegel_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Der_Spiegel-12"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Modern_history">Modern history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Krampus&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: Modern history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the aftermath of the 1932 election in <a href="/wiki/First_Austrian_Republic" title="First Austrian Republic">Austria</a>, the Krampus tradition was prohibited by the <a href="/wiki/Engelbert_Dollfuss" title="Engelbert Dollfuss">Dollfuss</a> regime<sup id="cite_ref-nytimes-19341223_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nytimes-19341223-13"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> under the <a href="/wiki/Clerical_fascist" class="mw-redirect" title="Clerical fascist">clerical fascist</a> <a href="/wiki/Fatherland_Front_(Austria)" title="Fatherland Front (Austria)">Fatherland Front</a> (<span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Vaterländische Front</i></span>) and the <a href="/wiki/Christian_Social_Party_(Austria)" title="Christian Social Party (Austria)">Christian Social Party</a>. </p><p>In the 1950s, the <a href="/wiki/Government_of_Austria" title="Government of Austria">government</a> distributed pamphlets titled "Krampus Is an Evil Man" for fear that encounters with Krampus might damage children's mental health.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Towards the end of the century, a popular resurgence of Krampus celebrations occurred and continues today.<sup id="cite_ref-NGS_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NGS-15"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Krampus tradition is being revived in <a href="/wiki/Bavaria" title="Bavaria">Bavaria</a> as well, along with a local artistic tradition of hand-carved wooden masks.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In 2019 there were reports of drunken or disorderly conduct by masked Krampuses in some Austrian towns.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Appearance">Appearance</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Krampus&amp;action=edit&amp;section=4" title="Edit section: Appearance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Gruss_vom_Krampus.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Gruss_vom_Krampus.jpg/170px-Gruss_vom_Krampus.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="270" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Gruss_vom_Krampus.jpg/255px-Gruss_vom_Krampus.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Gruss_vom_Krampus.jpg/340px-Gruss_vom_Krampus.jpg 2x" data-file-width="510" data-file-height="810" /></a><figcaption>A 1900s greeting card reading 'Greetings from Krampus!'</figcaption></figure> <p>Although Krampus appears in many variations, most share some common physical characteristics.
