They seem to have their true natures triggered by certain scenarios, El Cucuy responding murderously to the pleaing prayers of many mothers, while Krampus only triggers during Christmas times and reacts murderously to 'naughty' behavior. Could it be that some species of Wesen only woge during certain conditions? That is a possibility I kept thinking that El Cucuy is an immortal being though. The reason I keep thinking that Krampus is a possessing spirit is that he just doesn't woge once a year he follows a pattern which shows he's not a mindless beast.

If he was just eating and roasting kids then I'd think he was just another wesen but he dresses up and he uses a whip he also leaves a calling card like that lump of coal. All of that is premeditated and planned and he just happens to vanish when Nick is about to kill him?

That's why I think Krampus takes on a host once a year and keeps using that host for as long as he can. I mean it can't be denied that Krampus is too intelligent to thrown into the ranks of a were-creature. And as other posters have stated it doesn't make sense for it to be genetic since the parents or grand parents would say something.

The only thing that would make sense is if it's like a random mutation or like that possessed boy.
