Krampus.com says “he often appears as a traditional red devil with cloven hoof and goatish horns, although he can also be spotted as an old bearded wild-man or a huge hairy beast.” Unlike the image of Santa Claus, Krampus can be depicted in a number of ways. Since the word “krampus” comes from the old German word meaning “claw”, so you could certainly incorporate some some of them into the costume. Accesorize with items like a bag made of fur or hide to carry away the naughty children, rusty chains, or a whip or switches to beat the bad kids. Some stories have him handing out sticks or lumps of coal to the naughty children too.

We’ve got whips, furry mascot costumes, devil and demon masks and accessories and lumps of coal, and we can help make you a custom costume. Then you can join a parade, like the one that took place last year in Austria’s town of Admont!
