Maybe that can be expanded on.

Yes, the religion needs an anti Santa to explain all the bad things that happen
Here he is - ready made for the Santa religion - Krampus Smile
Quote:In German-speaking Alpine folklore, Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure. According to traditional narratives around the figure, Krampus punishes children during the Christmas season who had misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts.

There are also other companions for Santa such as Belsnickel, Black Pete, and Knecht Ruprecht.
