Santa Claus
Santa Claus is a large pseudoelf that spends most of its time in the North Pole. Santa Claus is famous for its annual migration on Christmas Eve, upon where it magically circumnavigates the globe, consuming milk and cookies and leaving behind desired presents.
Much mythology and folklore has been created around the journey of Santa Claus. One legend claims that Santa is somehow knowledgeable about the moral behavior of people, compiling offenders and do-gooders on respective lists, and only doling out gifts to the "Nice" believers while leaving coal for the "Naughty". In the spirit of forgiveness, these lists reset every year, and in rare occasions, people on the Naughty List manage to get on the Nice List at the last minute, though this usually involves proving oneself trustworthy and selfless in a time where Santa is need.
Santa's rogues gallery
Many creatures are associated with Santa Claus.
Mrs. Claus
Mrs. Claus is the wife of Santa Claus. Though she typically stays behind while Santa makes his journey, she is the second in command if Santa is ever out-of-commission one year.
Mx. Claus
🧑🎄 It appears that there exists a "Mx. Claus" somewhere, as indicated by their appearance in the set of emojis. Not much information exists about Mx. Claus. However, because the honorific "Mx." is most popular in the United Kingdom, many believe they are British... Yikes 😬
Elves
An elf is an underling of Santa Claus. Elves are typically diminutive in size and temperament. They usually don a green garb as opposed to Santa's iconic red robes. Elves play the role of the toymakers, being expert craftsmen that can additionally use their expertise in magic to assist. Elves also typically fill most of the North Pole's infrastructural personnel, as they constitute the region's largest population by number.
Reindeer
Reindeer are the most iconic fauna of the North Pole. Santa employs eight reindeer to pull his magical sleigh: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen. These reindeer possess the exceptional power of flight, though it is unknown if all North Pole reindeer do as well. In addition, Santa sometimes employs a ninth reindeer, Rudolph. Rudolph displays a rare and seemingly unique red, bioluminescent nose. Folk legend says that Rudolph was at first shunned for this trait, but Santa used Rudolph's nose to light the way during a particularly foggy journey.
Snowmen
A somewhat uncommon North Pole resident is the snowman. Snowmen are living specimen of the classic Christmas tradition of "building snowmen", where large balls of snow are rolled up, stacked, and adorned with decorations to resemble a person. The method of propagation for these alive snowmen are unknown, though a legend details the birth of Frosty the Snowman, who came to life upon wearing a magic hat. Frosty is unique among snowmen in that he migrates to his birth place every winter; if he were to stay permanently, he would melt during the warmer months.
The Miser Brothers
Responsible, it is said, for the advents of cold or warm Christmases, Snow Miser and Heat Miser are two spirits that embody opposite weather phenomenon. However, their effectiveness is dubious as they are primarily concerned with their interpersonal conflict, which tends to supersede their concerns for Christmas itself.
Krampus
Often billed as the anti-Claus, Krampus is a malevolent beast that either punishes children on the Naughty List or aims to disrupt Christmas entirely. It is unknown whether Krampus opposes Santa Claus himself.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the figurehead of Christianity and a martyr. The celebration of Christmas often coincides with celebrations of his birthday. The relationship between Claus and Christ is unknown, though Santa is sometimes given the name "Saint Nick", alluding to a potential Catholic origin.

Polar bears and penguins
Polar bears are the natural apex predators of the Arctic region, though it seems their presence and violence is diminished in the North Pole.
Penguins populate the Antarctic, though it seems some have been introduce to and completely localized in the North Pole, likely at Santa's request.
Grinch and Scrooge
Similar to Krampus, the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge both expressed anti-Christmas sentiments in their respective tales. However, both characters eventually redeemed themselves and embraced the holiday cheer, though their unredeemed incarnations remain powerful Christmas icons.
Santa's relics
Santa uses a variety of tools and baubels.
Santa's sleigh
Santa makes his global voyage whilst seated in a large red sled. The sleigh is pulled by Santa's reindeer through the air.
Bag of toys
Santa stores his presents in a large, magical bag.
Due to a lack of internet cableage, radio towers, and phone lines, it appears the only way to contact the North Pole is via travel or mail. Santa utilizes the nations' postal services to receive specific requests for presents.
Food
Santa consumes milk and cookies during his travels. Santa also seems fond of food such as candy canes, gingerbread men, hot chocolate, and eggnog.
Flora
The North Pole is decked with bounds of holly and mistletoe, the latter of which appears to act as a very mild aphrodisiac. Rings of Christmas pines form wreathes. The central plant of the North Pole, however, is undoubtably the Christmas tree.
Chimney
Santa appears to prefer entering homes through their chimneys, as chimneys seemingly provide an unobstructed route to entry. However, this is not a necessity, as Santa appears capable of nonviolently entering any home through magic.
Stockings
Once in a home, Santa drops lighter, inexpensive gifts (such as candies) into stockings—comically large socks drawn up in a Christmas fashion. This is also where Santa deposits coal.
Bells
Santa appears very fond of the sound of bells. Christmas bells are generally distinguished by two flavors: larger, domed bells; and smaller, sleigh bells. It is unclear which of these two are the "jingle" bells.
Music
Many songs have been made about Santa Claus, and it is likely that he has heard of and enjoys listening to some of them.
Malls
In the Christmas pre-season, Santa will apparently show up in malls to meet-and-greet with the local residents. Young children form long queues just to meet the man, sit on his lap, and whisper what they want for Christmas (an alternative to mailing).
Trains
Though not Santa's preferred mode of transport, trains—especially those hauled by steam locomotives—give a sense of nostalgia to millions of Americans. Some trains even tour the country, providing music, gifts, and other sweet stuff to thousands of onlookers. The most iconic Christmas train is the Polar Express, with its noble steed, the Baldwin 2-8-4 S-3 class Berkshire-type steam locomotive built in 1931 at the Baldwin Locomotive Works that weighs 456,100 pounds.
