-->-- Description of '''Santa's dominion''', ''VideoGame/CookieClicker''

* In the ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' ChristmasEpisode "[[Recap/InvaderZimS2E10TheMostHorribleXmasEver The Most Horrible X-mas Ever]]", Zim downloaded humanity's collective knowledge of Christmas into a gel-based Vortian liquid substance, turning it into a Santa that Zim then converts into a suit with a brain interface as a means of disguising himself as the beloved holiday icon as a plot to conquer Christmas and the Human Race. Unfortunately, AIIsACrapshoot goes into full effect as the Vortian liquid (with every molecule being a miniature hard drive) turns out to have been programmed with the Christmas data a little too well and as a result, the suit starts to gain its own sapience independent of Zim, becoming convinced that it ''is'' Santa The Santa personality slowly starts to wrestle control away from Zim whenever something especially Christmasy happens (like children asking for hugs or when [=GIR=] starts singing Christmas songs). Zim ultimately loses control of the Vortian Santa, but manages to escape eternal imprisonment in the entity by sheer luck before it grows into a monster, with Dib banishing it into space. In the distant future, it is revealed that the Santa is not only still alive, but returns every Christmas to wreak havoc, cities since having been enclosed in protective domes with giant milk and cookies left to placate its rage.

* In a ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' [[https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2017/12/22 two-]][[https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2017/12/25 parter]], sensing that his daughter Ronia is getting wise to Santa not actually existing, Tycho for ...some reason decides to up the ante by telling her that the real reason for Christmas trees, cookies for Santa and gifts is for protection from a HumanoidAbomination that's basically a Chrismas-themed version of [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos the King in Yellow]].

* During the ''ComicBook/KingInBlack'' event, Santa Clause became venomized and was forced to be put down by Iron Man before he could cause any further destruction.
