Little known cousin (from the country) of Krampus.
Similar to his better know cousin, Krankle preys upon children during the holidays. However, while Krampus seeks the naughty; Krankle only seeks the weak and infirm. Having been born with hollow bones himself, he only attacks those that pose the least amount of risk to his own safety. He steals the marrow from his young victims to sustain himself for his months-long hibernation.
To ward off Krankle, susceptible children should light a candle in their window each night. Also, it's highly recommended they keep salt under their pillow. It is well known that Krankle fears the light and the bitter coarseness of salt.
There is ongoing debate over his exact motivations. Most believe he was driven to madness by a childhood filled with frailty and ridicule. However, others note he could be seeking vengeance for his stillborn twin, Krankus. The one that should have lived (as his parents would always say). Still others believe Krankus was merely his first victim.

Get the Krankle mug.A follower of the British Comedy act of the 70's and 80's called the Krankies. Husband and wife, Ian and Janette, played a father and son act (Janette played the small boy)
Thier cabaret work was a lot more risque than the later tv work typified by thier appearances on Krackerjack.
Krankles typically were children at the time and missed the adult humour which they later picked up when watching reruns.
More info on the Krankies can be found at the Wiki of the same name

Get the felix kranken mug.Something broken beyond repair. Originates from the game Path of Exile when refering to items that have been modified by the 'corruption' mechanic as it modifies an item randomly but also prevents any crafting or alteration afterwards. Became very popular during the 'Scourge league' which introduced a mechanic where one can corrupt an item in even more special ways, causing many good items to be ruined by unlucky results.
Player 1: What did the corruption of your boots give mate?
Player 2: I tried a tier 3 mod in the blood crucible and it gave me 'cannot evade' mod so it is pretty much krangled.
