Krampus
Creatures of the Dark Mirror
The Krampus are diabolical beings, native to the reign of the Dark Mirror. Like many dark creatures of the Lunar Age, they draw their characteristics and power from the evil that permeates the Material World. They usually do not excel in wit and merely follow the directives of higher entities, but over the decades they have evolved as humanoids of Iùrmen, beginning to manifest more complex personalities.
