Uncle Crimbo (#666) Level 11 Reindeer Threatener |
|
Uncle Crimbo (#666) has been the Kingdom's version of Santa Claus. Father Crimbo coordinated Crimbo in 2003 and 2004. It has been revealed that Father Crimbo passed away, and Uncle Crimbo, his brother, took over his duties. Uncle Crimbo placed Advent Calendars in the campground of every player in the kingdom for Crimbo on December 1 from 2005 to 2008.
On October 31st, 2006, Uncle Crimbo notified the adventurers of the Kingdom of Loathing through the Crimboween memo that Uncle Crimbo and his helpers were running Halloween this year instead of the Scream Queen. On December 1st, 2006, A Lonely Crimbo Elf appeared in The Big Mountains. When spoken to, he sends you on a quest to Save Uncle Crimbo!
He gave out 100 rounds of a buff called The Spirit of Crimbo to players in chat on 25th December 2007.
During Crimbo 2008, Uncle Crimbo passed control of the holiday over to Don Pygoscelis and the Penguin Mafia for taking care of The Crimbomination.
Shortly before Crimbo 2010, he resurfaced leading a a group of homeless elves living in Hobopolis.
On December 25, 2010, all players (?) received the following message and items:
Hey, kid. My elves have started to infiltrate CRIMBCO, and we're making our move soon, but for now we've got to lie low. Did you know that Mr. Mination wasn't planning on giving out any presents? He planned on just having you guys buy each other presents so he didn't have to do any work. What kind of a Crimbo monarch doesn't hand out presents?
Anyway, this is the best I could do with the stuff my hobo elves stole for me. Happy Crimbo, kid. I hope I can count on you when the time comes.
