Please share favorite Christmas Time Monsters or story line:

Ex. : Flesh Eating Flying Deer (Reindeer to be specific).. caused by a parasites... the job of the group was to save the Northern Lapp (Saami) Village from their own herds... the PCs had to save them physically, figure out what was going on, then the druid got to work with the cleric and mage, figured it out and found the root cause and saved the Saami and their herds too.. could not just wipe out the Reindeer because the Saami would starve.. kind of a Mr Peabody Fractured Fairy Tale kind of night.. a great one night game around this time of year...

I also like Golem, Tinker-Toy.

[Arduin]

Huge Blue spruce treant decked out with Christmas decorations (PC's don't know why a tree has stuff all over it) that attracts people because it is SO pretty.

[DMSamuel]

Giant Snowman who has roasting chestnuts as minions - they fly off the fire and explode on whatever they hit. The Snowman, of course, throws snowballs.

[Jyrdan Fairblade]

Years ago, this one guy was playing a min-maxed killing machine, super-serious fighter. I threw a snow golem from an April issue of Dragon magazine at him and he was absolutely indignant that he had to fight it.

The entirety of Under the Storm Giant's Castle can be used to great effect.

Blackroot and the Winter's Knight

Blackroot, the evil treant decorated in vaguely yule-related regalia. Oh look! Here come all of the little boys and girls to dance around Blackroot. They don't understand that the black bark and sparsely under-hanging boughs drip with the blood of young. This is but one of the reasons that the people near the village stay indoors during the last days of the winter dark. They too light candles and place them upon their sill to keep the Winter's Knight at bay. For it was the dark pact of once honorary knights that offered up as sacrifice the youngest child of the village to be claimed by He during the festival of the Last Day. When you hear the crying of a babe in the dark woods outside your home, late in the night, you give thanks that it was not your child claimed by the Winter's Knight.
