What happens to misbehaving kids?
🇺🇲 They receive coal in their sock
🇨🇿 A demon will take them straight to hell, where an endless torture awaits them. Pain, cries for help and suffering of others will become a constant for the rest of their existence.

@LukeAlmighty I mean Western countries specifically like Germany France in the UK used to have a demon equivalent that would follow Santa which was called krampus but we kind of phased him out and just replaced it with coal.

Though because that adds such an interesting dynamic he's made a comeback in certain films recently

@LukeAlmighty oh you were talking about the demon that accompanies Santa Claus.

Yeah in English we say krampus.

Though he does have a more traditional German name but I don't know what that is that was originally interpreted to mean krampus when it was brought to England.

@Mr_NutterButter
Well, in here, they are role-wise supposed to be imps, who work in hell by heating the cauldrons etc...

But they are visually perfect fit for Krampus.

@Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty Several of the old (pre-christian) heathen gods / deities were often shown with antlers / horns to represent their connection to the nature and the natural order, not because they were seen as evil.

Hell, the original folklore behind Krampus actually depicts him as more of a neutral "enforcer" than a demon.
