ELF

The Splitting Elves are extra terrestrial shape shifting laborers of Santa himself. The initial plan was to make an army of elves that would help Mr. Nicholas deliver all the gifts in time. It however turned out that the elves were actually plotting on ruining Christmas. So as the Crypto gods that we are, it was decided to put a curse on the elves that would make them all keep splitting (burning all the supply out of circulation). Up until we had one super collective elf left that would help Santa save the most beautiful time of the year.
