The robotics maker unveiled this strange – and somewhat creepy – holiday video Wednesday, showing three of its four-legged “Spot” robots pulling a sleigh.

Spot is a new version of the company’s “BigDog” robot, an all-terrain robot designed for military use. The animal-like robot can carry 340 pounds and plays fetch with concrete blocks. Spot on the other hand is a bit more gentle.

Designed for indoor and outdoor use, Spot only weighs about 160 pounds and has a sensor on its head that helps it navigate through rough terrain.
