KRAMPUS—a German folklore monster—hairy, beard, goat-horned with cloven hooves, fangs and a long, pointed tongue who accompanies Saint Nicholas every year. While Nicholas rewards well-behaved children, Krampus punishes the rest.
In the 1950s, the Austrian government reportedly distributed pamphlets titled “Krampus Is an Evil Man” for fear that annual appearance of Krampus might damage children’s mental health.

“M.O.R.A (Mythological Oversight and Restoration Authority) is a clandestine, multilateral military organization that oversees and protects a secret peace treaty between mythological creatures and humanity. Callum Drift, head commander of Santa Claus's ELF (Enforcement Logistics and Fortification) security, requests to retire after one last Christmas run, as he has become disillusioned with increased bad behavior in the world, exemplified by the growth of Santa's Naughty List. On Christmas Eve, a black ops team breaks into the North Pole complex and kidnaps Santa. Callum notifies Director Zoe Harlow about the kidnapping, and her team discovers that the North Pole's secret location was compromised by Jack O'Malley, a mercenary white-hat hacker who claims to be able to find anything in the world.”
