In folklore, Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure described as “half-goat, half-demon”, who, during the Christmas season, punishes children who have misbehaved. This is in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards well-behaved children with gifts. The Imperator, Raiju Kang, has enlisted you to act as his Krampus. He has marked several members of the Clan as naughty and they need to be punished.

Write a short holiday themed horror story that portrays you as the Imperator’s helper! Terror is greatly encouraged.
