Santaclaus

Santa in his Santa Claus form

Santa was first introduced during the Christmas (v1.04) update. Once A festive hat is purchased, an icon will appear under the Big Cookie reflecting Santa's current level. It can then be upgraded until Santa reaches his final form.

Santa's level has little impact on the game, but every time he is upgraded, a random upgrade is unlocked. One of them is Santa's legacy which will grant an additive boost of 3% to your cookie production for each level of Santa, up to 45%.

Santa's upgrades can be quite useful so once getting the season switcher it is recommended to use Christmas first.

Upgrades[]

Purchasing "A festive hat" or upgrading Santa's level to a stage that is not "Final Claus" will randomly unlock one of the other fourteen upgrades (excluding "Santa's dominion") below. Their price raises each time you upgrade Santa, starting with 2,525 cookies and tripling with every Santa level. Note that this also affects upgrades you unlocked previously but haven't purchased yet. Once Santa reaches his "Final Claus" form, "Santa's dominion" will be unlocked.

Notes[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 Upgrades which lower the cost of upgrades stack multiplicatively, not additively. That is, if you have 3 of them which reduce the cost of upgrades by 5%, 2% and 1% then the final cost of an upgrade is (original cost) * 0.95 * 0.98 * 0.99.

Trivia[]

  • It costs approximately 14 quadrillion cookies to unlock and purchase everything for the season.
  • Nick is a reference to Saint Nicholas, a predecessor of Santa Claus.
  • 'Final Claus' is likely a play on the term 'Final Clause,' or a 'Clause of Purpose,' a dependent adverbial clause expressing purpose.
  • 'Final Claus' is vaguely similar to the final boss of Kirby's Dream Land 3, Zero, or Vaati Transfigured from The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords.
    • The icon for Santa's dominion also loosely resembles the 2nd form for the final boss of Kirby's Dreamland 2 and the penultimate boss of Kirby's Dreamland 3, Dark Matter.
    • 'Final Claus' himself also bears resemblance to the Daedric prince Hermaeus Mora from The Elder Scrolls series, more specifically Mora's depiction in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn.
  • The description of Santa's dominion is a reference to the Percy Bysshe Shelley poem "Ozymandias".
  • The description of Santa's Legacy is a reference to the movie Scarface.
  • The description of Weighted Sleighs refers to Cervidae, the scientific name of the deer family.
  • The description of Weighted Sleighs may also refer to a popular Gabe Newell phrase: "Hopefully, it will have been worth the wait."
  • The sequence used for the Santa evolution prices has a name - the 'fz-n' sequence. Googology Wiki
