The Krampus Whale appears to be a homophone chimera of the Grampus [1] in Melville's Moby Dick and the Krampus of Central European folklore [2].
Parent's final request is a clear reference to Coq [3]. I yield, mumbling something about lions and claws.

Why is Xmas like a lion on the beach?[2] The Gnat and the Lion and the Hares and the Lion both involve claws. I prefer paws, a genre which has produced Androcles, the Lion and the Mouse, the Elephants and the Mice, and even apparently (I can't find it, but my hanzi search-fu is weak) the Tiger and the Mouse. On the hares and lion, a Swahili argument against Sith morality: "Ndovu wawili wakipigana, ziumiazo na nyasi."[3] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game) [2] They both have sandy claws. [3] Some wag has added: even if the elephants are making love instead of fighting, the grass still gets trampled.
