According to [[Pythagoras-858]]'s research, Santa Claus was an interdimensional gestalt parasite, who would first implant itself in a given universe as an idea, before attaining physical reality thanks to the beliefs of children, occasionally taking the place of a sufficiently similar “real person” in the process. Individual incarnations of Santa Claus were not necessarily aware of how they had come into existence, however, and most were genuinely benevolent.

Around the time of [[Christmas]] 2019, a [[Clockwork Cherub]] version of Santa Claus began to manifest in the [[Cupid Homeworld]], under the name of ‘Claus-025’ — replacing the original Cherub with that serial number, who seemed to be permanently erased from Time in the process. Claus-025 wore the typical Santa hat and had a pack of reindeer, but [[Pythagoras-858]] prevented him from distributing any presents, tackling him and stuffing him in a burlap sack for the duration of the holiday. When Pythe opened the bag again, Claus-025 had dispersed, leaving behind only a few crumbs of chocolate cake and his hat. Pythe banished these to [[the Void]] before releasing the reindeer in a random snowy wilderness.

=== In Dimension Zeta-32-Orangepeel-Grbbrzkwlkglb === | |||
Some of the inhabitants of [[Dimension Zeta-32-Orangepeel-Grbbrzkwlkglb]], a [[pocket universe]] that served as a refuge for the survivors of a [[Pandimensional war (The Winter Quests)|pandimensional war]] and their descendants, had “cultural memories of magical gift-bringers who travelled in wooden vessels”. However, because they had warded their universe so efficiently, no form of Father Christmas could actually enter it, any more than [[Madame Tarsa|the Toymaker]] or any other powerful interdimensional entity.
