So, I have the incomplete version of Krampus' Stat Sheet. Looking to be busier then expected, so I might take slightly longer then expected. However, I wanted to show you what you have so far.
Martial: 25 (10 + 5 (The Demon of Christmas) + 5 (The Punisher of the Naughty) + 5 (The Birch Rod)
Diplomacy: 1
Stewardship: 18
Intrigue: 17
Learning: 11 (6 + 5 (More Than Instincts)
Occult: 14 (9 + 5 (The Demon of Christmas)
Traits
The Demon of Christmas - (Fluff) - +5 Martial and Occult. Becomes +10 During the Holidays, and +25 During Christmas. You ignore four Wounds from any Mundane or Fire source, and two Wounds of anything Demonic or Holy. This trait can Evolve
The Punisher of the Naughty (Fluff) - +5 Martial. Whenever you deal Wounds to a Naughty enemy, if they are Human or fail a contested Occult Check, you inflict one instance of "Demonic Malus: The Rule of Nines" on them, then generate one Rule of Nines Token in your Wicker Basket, then generate Christmas Spirit equal to 9 * Rule of Nines Tokens you possess. [Remaining Conditions to Fully Unlock: Find Your Place In Christmas Again]
More Than Instincts (Fluff): +5 Learning. Attempts to mentally control or influence you are rolled at Disadvantage, and take a Penalty equal to your Learning. If the source of that control is Demonic or Holy, triple the Penalty.
Complication: Hated Above, Hated Below. (Fluff) - -30 to all Diplomatic Rolls involving Demons and Angels. Auto-Failure if it involves The Father or Satan. They will prioritize you in battle over other targets. (Anything on the side of Christmas, your mother, and The Son are exempted from this.)

The Wicker Basket of Krampus

Who is Krampus's mom? And why Jesus specifically?

The answer to the second question is presumably 'because he's not a dick.'
...
9 * Instances in your Wicker Basket.
Depending on how Instances leave the Wicker Basket, that could get ridiculous.

Imagining this tumblr post but with "THE BASKET" instead.

Krampus' mom is a nice succubus who runs a brothel in Europe. Sided with her son over Satan. And as for Jesus... [Insert Spoiler Memes Here!]
I had meant 9 * Instances on the person of Christmas Spirit go into the Wicker Basket. But now Instances leaving the Wicker Basket has given me ideas...
Don't worry, you can still stuff people inside the Wicker Basket. Though no stuffing animals in with them. The animals did nothing wrong!
Ah, so limited by how many wounds can be put on a villian.
I dare Amazon to create henchmen that don't get defeated by too many wounds.
Are we also able to put down a surname for our new advisor or no?

So, I decided to make it to where Krampus gains "Rule of Nines Tokens" each time he inflicts the Malus as well, instead of burning Christmas Spirit he generates. So Instances now do out of the Wicker Basket now!
Also, beware of what you ask for!
Also, the Birch Rod has stats. Going to work on the Wicker Basket after lunch. Along with Fluff. Yay Fluff!

...I hadn't considered that. Go ahead! Try and use Victorian or Steampunk ones, if possible.
Cool, thanks!
Edit: alright, changed my vote on the last page from just Cecilia to Cecilia Heterodyne, along with another one as Cecilia Drake.

"then generate Christmas Spirit equal to 9 * Rule of Nines Tokens you possess." From the way I read it, Krampus gets a token every time he beats someone appropriately, and then generates Christmas Spirit based on the number of tokens he has... so the question of "how does he *lose* tokens" gets to be really very pertinent. If the answer is "he doesn't", then after a while of doing the thing that he does, he'll be generating somewhat absurd levels of Christmas Spirit with every whack.

He'll have ways to spend them, and they do fade away pretty quickly.
Though I will admit, I would love to see an Omake where in the future Krampus is just whacking one Naughty person a year around to cover the entire year.

Yep. Krampus wants that rematch. And Bezos doesn't get to use Armor this time to protect himself.
Imagine Bezos in a pillory, getting whacked by Krampus and healed by Scrooge (using the generated Christmas Spirit) until Bezos stops settings off Scrooges "Hatred: Greed"He'll have ways to spend them, and they do fade away pretty quickly.

Alright, Krampus just needs Fluff written. But his stats are ready! Will probably work on the Inventor in a bit. Hopefully
