Behavior outside of the holidays

Are you saying that my base is going to have a steady stream of Santa body parts appearing in it once New Year's hits? That's somewhere between disturbing, annoying, and awesome. --Theothersteve7 20:56, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes. I could of course have missed something, but currently Santa Claus disintegrates in a spray of blood outside of that narrow timeframe. It doesn't look like the game checks for that timeframe before spawning him, though, just if you have defeated the Frost Legion at some point. --Lunboks 20:59, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
I've made up my mind. This is awesome. --Theothersteve7 21:08, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Santa Clause the Santa Clause

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Cuz really, that sounds awesome.

Well, it is both his name and profession. I personally think it should be classified as an anomaly rather than a bug. --Theothersteve7 14:55, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
All I see in my game is just "Santa Claus". Never seen "Santa Claus the Santa Claus". --

What next

Just when I made up my mind this guy doesn't exist... who's next, the Burger King?! - Spinfx 08:45, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

The New Years Hotfix

Near January 1st, 2012, Redigit released a hotfix that prevented santa from spawning endlessly past Christmas. However, it is not in the wiki's version history, so I don't know how to add this to the "History" section on the bottom.

Santa's departure

I have 2 questions: (1) Does the Frost Legion need to be defeated each Christmas season for Santa to arrive? (if he dies at the end of the season, I'm guessing "yes") (2) When Santa was first introduced in 2011, his "departure" at the end of the holiday season was rather, well... gruesome (I was rather shocked to see Santa explode. "OMG! THEY KILLED SANTA!" My 6-year-old heard me and came running.).[1] [2] Does he still explode, or has this changed? If he still departs in this manner, I feel this info should be tactfully added to the main page. –Ferretwings (talk) 23:01, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Can someone confirm this?

On the GOOD Mobile Version (Pre-1.3 for lyfe!) Santa can live in another NPC's house. Considering the similarities to the GOOD Mobile version and the 3DS version, I was wondering if this strange occurrence can happen on 3DS as well. I don't have the 3DS of my own to test it, which is why I need help with this. 172.249.169.192 17:40, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

On 3DS moving Santa into another NPCs house kicks the original NPC out, and they just pick another house. Seems like that bug? feature? is exclusive to Pre-1.3 mobile. 4e696e6a6f795844 (talk) 21:12, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
