Krampus – Back (Keywords and Abilities)

Card 1 of 28.

Massive Damage: When an offensive action with Massive Damage inflicts a wound, it inflicts one additional wound.

Hex: A model suffering Hex discards the highest result rolled anytime it makes an offense roll. (Arcade: A monster suffering Hex reduces its STR by [icon] 1.)

Immobile: A model affected by Immobile may not move during its next activation.

Nom Nom Nom!: After a model with Nom Nom Nom! destroys a Naughtie, the model with Nom Nom Nom! Heals 2.

Shapeshift X: The model may Shapeshift into the model listed. Shapeshift rules are detailed in the rulebook.

You've Been Naughty: After an enemy model rolls a critical success against a model with You've Been Naughty, the enemy model Shapeshifts into a Naughtie (regardless of the number of wounds dealt by the critical). The Consul selects one Naughtie shapeshift card that is not already being used by a Hero. If all Naughtie shapeshift cards are in play, this ability has no effect. Heroes on Kringle's Nice List may not be shapeshifted in this way.

Boss Fight and Timeout Card: Krampus

Krampus (Boss Fight and Timeout) – Card 2 of 28

Boss Fight

Caught Red Handed: The Consul selects one Hero that is not on Kringle's Nice List. The selected Hero shapeshifts into a Naughty of the Consul's choice.

Timeout

Run Free, Children!: Target Naughtie performs up to three moves and one basic attack action controlled by the Consul. If there are no Naughties in play, any Hero may be chosen instead.

Krampus (Boss Fight and Timeout) – Back

The back of this card carries flavour text only and no rules. It is reproduced here for completeness.

The winter solstice is a time of gathering and celebration for the people of Crystalia. Warm around their hearths, sipping warm mugs, they wait for Kringle to bring gifts for the good girls and boys.

But for the naughty citizens of Crystalia, the winter solstice is a time to turn out the lights, hide under the bed, and beg the Goddess that the Krampus does not find them. The Krampus is a mighty faerie from the far North, his gaping maw the last thing that no-good tricksters ever see.

He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. You had best start running, for goodness sake.

Challenge Cards

Ten Arcade-mode Challenge cards, numbered as printed. Each card has a Trap and a Challenge.

Challenge: He Sees You When You're Sleeping (19 of 28)

But how? How does he see me when I'm sleeping? Is it magic? Does he have a crystal ball? I'M NEVER SLEEPING AGAIN!

Challenge: He Knows When You're Awake (20 of 28)

Trap: The Hero with the most wounds must choose a Naughtie card and shapeshift into a Naughtie (if the Hero with the most wounds is already a Naughtie, the Hero with the next most wounds must shapeshift, etc.).

If Skyr-Gobbler is in play and has a potion token, Skyr-Gobbler must immediately use its Skyr potion to Heal the dungeon boss as if it were a friendly model.

Card Notes

• Naughtie shapeshift cards are missing. Krampus's You've Been Naughty ability and the Trap text of several Challenge cards have the Consul select a Naughtie shapeshift card. No Naughtie card face is in the source, so none is transcribed. Make Mischief and Run Free, Children! target models already in play that are Naughties, so they do not need the missing cards.
• Card numbers 3 to 18 are absent. The 28-card numbering runs 1 to 28, and the source covers 1, 2 and 19 to 28 only. The source does not say what the other numbers are.
• Shapeshift is defined in the base Super Dungeon Explore rulebook (its Shapeshift section), not on this expansion's cards. The card text points there.
• Icons. Action-cost icons (red 2, blue 1) and stat/keyword icons are described in brackets where the scan does not allow a word-for-word reading. The small icon at the top left of the STR stat banner and the "SUPER" badge at the lower right of the front face are not transcribed.
• Arcade text. The Hex entry on the boss back has an Arcade line that refers to monsters and reduces STR by the value shown on the card (1).
