I think one of these is going in my yard every Christmas from now on.

Also, as a sculptor, I would love about 500 lbs of coal for my forge. Maybe I sent my list to the wrong address. I even went on about how horrible I had been to puppies.

So, really, he’s another version of Black Peter? Ah-indeed, the devil, as that is who doles out punishments, (as well as presents) as he accompanies St. Nicolas, or Sinterklaas, in the Netherlands. Sometimes, if a child was particularly bad, he would drag them to hell! Oh, yeah, THAT’S the way to remember the birth of the Saviour!

Is it just me or does it look SORT of like Bill O’Reilly (terribly aged) dressed as a satyr/faun/krampus???
Just saying. Good thread, though, Loren.

It is the Krampus.

The Anti-Claus.
The one of the switches and coal.

Doling out both gifts and punishment is just too much to ask of one mythical being.

first impression is satyr, but as crapple said, they are only furry from the waist down. minotaur as some above said is my guess

Since the horns look bovine I would have to say the Minotaur of Crete.

Its not a satyr, fawn, or Pan- all are half goat, only furry from the waist down, and they have goat horns.
