Principal Claus is the principal of Lakewood Public School, only appearing in K.O.'s class once every year. He is well liked from former and current students. He first debuted in "The So-Bad-ical".
Physical Appearance
Principal Claus, like the icon he is based on, is a round elderly man with reddish-pinkish skin, a bald head with a snow-white beard and eyebrows. Like most commons reincarnations of Santa Claus, he has a bright red nose and is often seen wearing red, though he mixes it up with some black overalls with two golden buttons.
Personality
Principal Claus is usually a happy and cheerful man that teaches others important lessons and runs Lakewood Public School. But as seen in "Super Black Friday", while he can fight, he regrets it immediately after the battle's over.
Abilities and Powers
Holyday Flying Powers: As another reference in the Santa Claus mythos, Claus can grant himself flight by simply pressing his nose, as seen when he grants K.O., Rad, and Enid, the same power. The ability is visible through sparkles that appear under the user's feet as they gifted.
He can also use this flight ability in combat, where he uses it to propel himself into the air and catch Shannon while she was in mid-air.
Fourth Wall Awareness: At the end of the episode "Super Black Friday", the camera zooms out of Lakewood Plaza, which is in a snow globe on Claus' desk in his office. Then, he tells the viewers to stay in school, winking at the camera.
Physical Strength
Despite his appearance, Claus is incredibly strong seen in "Super Black Friday" where he quickly destroys Darrell by suplex and Shannon after tossing her into the sky and crushing her under his weight with relative ease, leaving her nothing but parts.
