Krampus
Just as there is night and day or hot and cold - Krampus embodies all that is mean and cruel. A creature as old as winter itself, Krampus is a being of pure evil who scours the earth seeking out all the "naughty" children to eventually turn them into his personal slaves: the Tinsels. Krampus just loves surprising all the little kids who wander into his giant snow-globe lair at the end of the terrifying "Slay Ride".
(official bio) Known as Krampus the Anti-Claus on the official website, Krampus is the boss of Rickety Town. He is a monstrous Santa Claus-esque creature with two pairs of antlers and giant claws. He wears a blue outfit rather than red, likely to make the blood stand out when he is shot, as well as show that as the 'Anti-Claus', he has Santa's colors inverted. Under his big winter coat Krampus wears a white undershirt, which can be seen when he has been damaged enough.
He also only has four claws on each hand, and is the only humanoid enemy to have four fingers that isn't tiny like the Tinsels, Muertito or Smeek. Krampus resides in the ice rink at the end of the Slay Ride and chases the player on his ice skates. He also occasionally speaks German, such as when he first appears. Krampus was voiced by Marc Falkenberg. Boss Battle
Krampus appears from his throne atop the ice rink's Christmas Tree decoration. He attacks with his claws, by hitting the player with his sack or throwing hot coals at him.
The order of his claw slashes can be random, and he may stop after only slashing once or twice, so we cannot say how much damage it will do. He can only be damaged when he is stationary. Shooting at him while he is skating does nothing, not even award points. Like Hambone, shooting at his legs will make him fall over and he will be unable to attack until he is standing again. His boss battle is the only one that can 'loop', and because of this he can be defeated at any area, as he is not killed by any part of the background like the other bosses. When he is defeated he falls over and it begins to snow. Attacks
