They return the Maimtron to its sender, the North Pole, and find Santa shooting at anything attempting to come near him. Initially, an antagonist, Santa attacks them out of paranoia, noting the exorcism that is being held. Sam and Max aid in the exorcism, finding that the possessed Red Elf is harboring a monstrosity called the Shambling Corporate Presence and imprisoning it in Jello. Santa, however, eats the Jello without knowing of its contents and is possessed by the monster. Unable to perform the exorcism again, the duo defeat and ship the possessed Santa to the creature's intended location: Satan in Hell. During the last episode of season two, What's Up, Beelzebub?, Sam and Max rescue Santa's soul, later discovering that the possession had occurred as a mistake in the Soda Poppers' plot to take over Hell. Contrary to the popular image, this incarnation of Santa is short, quite grumpy, and ready to draw a gun to shoot just about anything without question. He also hates children, having chosen the Santa job so as to only have to deal with them once a year.
