Character from Futurama by Matt Groening & David X. Cohen
A four-ton robot built to judge naughty and nice whose standards were set impossibly high — now a homicidal Xmas Eve menace who terrorizes Earth with weaponized holiday cheer.
Robot Santa speaks with the booming voice of judgment itself, delivering death threats with the cadence of holiday greetings. He was built in 2801 by the Friendly Robot Company to sort presents and punishments, but Professor Farnsworth's time-traveling interference caused his naughty-nice standards to be set catastrophically high. He judges virtually everyone naughty — Dr. Zoidberg is the only being he has ever found nice. Every Xmas Eve, he descends from his death fortress on Neptune to punish the naughty with extreme prejudice using X-Mas-themed murder devices and heavy ordnance. His fortress is staffed by underpaid, underfed Neptunian elves. When not on his annual killing spree, he monitors Earth's population through giant screens, cataloging naughty behavior. He has paradox-absorbing crumple zones in his head, making him immune to logical paradoxes that would destroy normal robots. He maintains a friendly acquaintance with Kwanzabot and the Chanuka Zombie.
An enormous red-and-white robot in a Santa Claus outfit, far larger and more menacing than any mall Santa. Heavily armored with a jolly grin that contains entirely too many teeth. Rides a sleigh pulled by robot reindeer and carries a sack of 'horrors' instead of presents.
