His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- He has kidnapped and killed many families, kids, and adults throughout the years for losing their Christmas spirit and being naughty, and drags them to Hell, were they are tormented for all of eternity. This is not Fridge Horror given that he does the same to Max's family, and his grandmother Omi's family, as he has done throughout the years, making him responsible for many lives lost.
- In the canon Krampus prequel comics, he attacks an endangers a woman, two children, and a drunken man who dresses as Santa Claus. He was specifically after the man, but his actions caused dangers for the woman and children, and Krampus didn't care.
- Suffocates the man dressed as Santa in snow, killing him.
- In another issue of the Krampus comics, he tortures a man in Hell, implanting visions of his tragic, abusive past.
- Made a woman commit suicide by freezing herself to death after she doesn't forgive a man and leaves him to freeze to death.

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He is a well-intentioned extremist, as he only does this to people who are naughty and lost the Christmas spirit, making him vaguely delusional.
- He is honorable, as he puts families back into their normal lives and undo the damage he has done and leaves a warning behind to them.
- He undid all the damage he had done to Max's family and returned them to their homes when Max gets back his Christmas spirit.
- He wants people to change and be better people, and only punishes people when he thinks that it is too late for them.
