Santa Claus' aides

Santa Claus' aides are Neptunians who help Robot Santa Claus. They live in the Jolly Junction, on Neptune, and are very shrimpy, because he doesn't feed them. The aides make toys, and gladly work for nothing, but were once forbidden to do so, since Santa judged everyone to be naughty. However, they got back in business after Bender, their hero, Fry, and Leela arrived in the Death Fortress and defeated Robot Santa Claus.

Trivia
