The man himself, riding his faithful steed Amerigo
This little guy got into the spirit of the Zwarte Pieten, most likely hoping to ingratiate himself and avoid a trip to Spain. The Wiki entry on the lore states: "the lyrics of traditional Sinterklaas songs and some parents warn that Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet will leave well-behaved children presents, but punish those who have been naughty. They will kidnap bad children and carry these children off in a sack to their homeland of Spain where, according to legend, Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet dwell out of season."
