While St. Nicholas rewards nice children by leaving presents, Krampus beats those who are naughty with branches💵 and sticks. In some cases, he is said to eat them or take them to hell.

Children who have been naughty💵 for the year receive more than just a lump of coal for the holiday season from Krampus. He is known💵 to chases bad children around with sticks or chains, hitting them and even kidnapping them as punishment, depicted in this💵 1910 postcard.
