I propose that wintersday dev team consider that Krampus would be the perfect winter holiday boss for any mmo and here are some reasons.
~Krampus is the Alpine Yule Demon going back a long time that was basically St. Nicholas’s counterpart and punished the bad children while St. Nicholas rewarded the good ones. He would use a piece of birch wood to whip them, or kidnap them if they were really bad. A new hunt for this monster, or perhaps even dungeon would be a fun concept.
~He looks like a Charr. He is furry with claws and has horns on his head. If a character was implemented it could simply be a scary kitten charr with hooves. He actually appears more like a messed up goat or satyr, but it would be easy to see how he would work out in the gw2 universe.
~He is widely known and perhaps somewhat of a trendy figure among history and monster lovers, but not so popular that he is too cliche. Like bosses such as the headless horseman and the mad king, he is a perfect symbol for his holiday and would be a loved and feared character in the gw2 world.
~It’s cool when holiday events in any mmo use real world references in unique ways and I’m sure many would like to see Krampus reinvented for gw2.
~Loot or gear sets could be birch wood concepts. I’m imagining a berch wood staff very gnarled with snow flake particle effects and perhaps a mini Krampus.
I may be biased as my guild is Lords of Krampus lol. I’m just saying that if I was a dev, I would love to create this concept.
Here are some popular interpretations of the demon.
anyone..?
