In [[Leadworth]], during the [[1990s]], the nativity play is almost starting and young [[Amelia Pond]] is being bullied before the school play by the main star [[Veronica Stackmore|Veronica]] (the mayor's spoiled daughter) saying she's mad and she'll get locked away forever.

Veronica then breaks the Raggedy Doctor doll Amelia made. Whilst in the library she's visited in the mirror by a man who appears similar to a reverse [[Santa Claus]] claiming to be her uncle "[[Krampus]]" who is really a member of the Pantheon trying to prevent the future Amy and Rory from [[The Big Bang (TV story)|getting married]] and joining the [[Eleventh Doctor|mad man in the box]], and conceiving [[River Song|their child]] who would go on to [[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|kill the Doctor]]. | ||
Krampus captures them with his goblins [[Otto (Imaginary Enemies)|Otto]], [[Siegfried]] and [[Ludwig (Imaginary Enemies)|Ludwig]]. However Veronica notices that the doll he has given her is nothing more than a lump of coal. So she throws it into a mirror and Krampus and his goblins are sucked through the portal in the mirror. Amelia and Rory forget about the events but [[Mels Zucker|Mels]] remembers. Since Veronica is knocked out Amelia becomes the new Mary, with Rory as her Joseph. Rory's father comments that they make a lovely couple, to which Mels enthusiastically agrees. | Krampus captures them with his goblins [[Otto (Imaginary Enemies)|Otto]], [[Siegfried]] and [[Ludwig (Imaginary Enemies)|Ludwig]].

Her [[Melody Pond (The Impossible Astronaut)|original incarnation]] had previously shown to have broken free of the Astronaut, which characters reflected would have taken superhuman strength, in [[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Moon (TV story)}}. | ||
* Krampus identifies himself as a member of "[[the Pantheon|a Pantheon]]" whose members delight in [[chaos]], liking to "take histoy and change it, (…) twist it into dark new shapes". This aligns with the ''modus operandi'' of [[the Trickster]], who debuted in [[TV]]: {{cs|Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? (TV story)}} and was established in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)}} to belong to a group known as the [[Pantheon of Discord]]. The [[Time Beetle]] seen in [[TV]]: {{cs|Turn Left (TV story)}} was described as having a similar agenda, and was identified as a member of [[the Trickster's Brigade]] by the [[Tenth Doctor]] in ''Turn Left'' itself, later being established as a Pantheon member in its own right in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book)|ed=2011 reprint|page=264}}. From [[TV]]: {{cs|The Devil's Chord (TV story)}}, it would become standard to refer to the group as simply "the Pantheon". | |||

* The [[Thirteenth Doctor]] would later face Krampus in [[COMIC]]: {{cs|Holiday Special (comic story)}}. Though revealed to actually be female in her true form, Krampus's portrayal otherwise aligned with his depiction in this story, able to shift between a true goat-like, demonic form, and a human form similar to [[Santa Claus]]. | |||
