Santa Claus Monster Sleigher - Battle Suit

Santa is the ancient guardian and protector of the North Pole. For many centuries he battled monsters that emerged from the ice and threatened mankind. Eventually these ice caves froze over and Santa took up other, more fulfilling work like giving gifts to the children of the world. As time went on people lost interest in Santa. Parents began giving their children gifts, leaving Santa with less work. Kids stopped believing in Santa Claus. He found himself without purpose. However, warming global temperatures have begun to melt the entrances to the ice caves. Monsters are leaking out and threaten global domination. Will Santa rise up and save humanity? Is this his shot at redemption to restore belief in Santa Claus once again?
