The Butterfly Krampus

After the holidays have worn off, this Krampus is a butterfly enthusiast whose eye color changes as he gazes at different types of these winged creatures. The butterflies are attracted to the off-gassing that occurs when he consumes wine, spirits, and charred things. At the height of the butterfly season, swarms of these beautiful creatures surround him like a multicolored fog. Many people come from miles around to see the marvelous display.
