I already wrote in the Episode 311-Thread about this, maybe I should add this as trivia to Wesentype Krampus

"The Grimm-Krampus is a mixture of Krampus and "Knecht Ruprecht".

Both are accompanying St. Nick on December 6th in european traditions, though Krampus is a kind of devillish creature that comes in a small group, never alone. While St. Nick fills the shoes of nice kids with small presents and sweets while Knecht Ruprecht leaves coal with the naughty ones and punish them with a rod."
