Dark Emperor Santa (悪魔王サンタ Akuma Ō Santa, Devil King Santa) is an event enemy that appears in Jingle Cat Bell and reappears in Monthly Event All-Stars and Floor 11. He is the Christmas spin-off of Dark Emperor Nyandam, made to look like Santa on his sleigh. His sleigh-throne is pulled by dark minions with reindeer antlers and red noses.
Santa has the same range as Nyandam but moves a bit faster and attacks much faster, along with improved damage. Luckily, he has less than half of Nyandam's health. Be aware that his attack is guaranteed to temporarily freeze the player's units.
Strategy
Due to his low health, Dark Emperor Santa can be easily dispatched with strong anti-Red cats like Swordsman Cat or Bath Cat. Wrestling Cat is a direct counter due to being strong against red and immune to freeze. A well-timed Thundia can OHKO him, whle Apple Cat/Face Cat can fight fire with fire and freeze him if, again, well timed.
- Stop for 120f the movement of all Cat Units (100%)

*In each stage, there is strength magnification, the value of health and attack power varies due to this value.
Trivia
His description in The Battle Cats POP! is: "Created devious magics to break Cats' holiday spirit. Uses cheap materials to keep his Xmas profit margin low."
Rather than a glass of coffee jelly, Dark Emperor Santa holds a turkey leg instead.
