"Schmutzli represents the alter-ego of the benevolent Samichlaus, dressed in a long dark robe with shaggy dark hair...Similar figures appear throughout Europe, including the chimneysweep servant Knecht Ruprecht in Germany, the terrifying monster Krampus in Austria, and the sack-wielding child-snatcher Zwarte Piet in the Netherlands. In France and the French-speaking part of Switzerland, Schmutzli goes by the name of Père Fouettard."
