Krampus Miniature – Winter’s Horned Punisher of the Wicked

Meet Krampus

Across snow-choked forests and frostbitten mountain passes, there is one name whispered even more fearfully than the spirits of winter—Krampus, the ancient punisher of wicked souls. Where festive tales speak of cheerful gift-bringers, Krampus is the shadow behind the candlelight, the chilling presence that watches, judges, and visits those whose deeds would have otherwise gone unanswered.

The legends say he comes draped in tattered robes, hunched from the weight of the misbehaving he collects. His horns curl like frozen roots reaching toward the sky. His beard is long, matted, and older than winter’s first breath. In one hand he carries a lantern guiding him through the night; in the other, claws that curl like skeletal prongs reaching for the guilty. Some claim his footsteps echo like rattling chains. Others insist he moves in utter silence until it’s too late.

This resin miniature by Yasashii Kyojin Studio captures the full terrifying spirit of the folklore icon—twisted, weary, ancient, and unrelenting. His bent posture and long, reaching fingers show both the burden and the hunger of his eternal task. With a child-shaped bundle tied to his back, he becomes the embodiment of winter horror and dark morality.

From the Crafty Llama Tables

Snow falls softly over the village as the party approaches shuttered windows and abandoned lanterns. A strange silence hangs in the frosty air—too quiet for a night meant to be full of celebration. Then a dim lantern glow flickers between the houses.

A tall, cloaked figure steps into view. His horns scrape softly against an icy beam overhead. His lantern sways with each slow movement. From his back hangs a bundled shape—too still to be sleeping.

A low growl escapes beneath his beard.

“You have been… unkind this season.”

The lantern light grows brighter as he steps forward.

“Now winter will judge you.”

Roll initiative.
