This Krampus card depicts the traditional folklore more literally and dramatically. It shows Krampus in a snowy night scene carrying away three terrified children in a large woven basket or sack on his back. Krampus with his signature curved horns, pointed ears, and fierce expression with yellow eyes and long red tongue. Dark fur covering his body. He's holding his bundle of birch branches (ruten) in one hand and chains in the other. Three children with wide, frightened eyes peering out from the basket. Snow falling against a dark blue night sky. The card has a red border with snowflakes scattered around the frame. The text reads: "FORGET COAL IN YOUR STOCKING... YOU'RE GETTING DRAGGED TO THE UNDERWORLD!" with "UNDERWORLD!" in large orange horror-style lettering. This card references the traditional Krampus legend where the creature would carry away particularly naughty children in his basket, supposedly taking them to his lair or the underworld.
