Demogorgon: the nightmarish creature from Stranger Things

The Demogorgon is one of the most terrifying monsters in Stranger Things, the Netflix phenomenon series. Introduced in the very first season, this interdimensional predator from the Upside Down World haunts the town of Hawkins, abducting its inhabitants, starting with Will Byers. Its nightmarish appearance, with its humanoid body and carnivorous flower-shaped head filled with sharp teeth, makes it a threat as mysterious as it is frightening.

Inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons bestiary, the Demogorgon embodies absolute evil, an almost invincible creature that stalks its prey in the shadows. Able to move between dimensions via portals, he hunts with an overdeveloped sense of smell and superhuman strength. Only Eleven (Eleven), endowed with psychic powers, manages to fend him off in the Upside-Down World in the epic finale of the first season. Subsequently, other such creatures appear, suggesting that this is just one part of a larger, even more sinister ecosystem.

A true symbol of Stranger Things, the Demogorgon remains one of the most iconic monsters in recent pop culture. His presence has left such a lasting impression that he has become a fixture of derivative products, video games and action figures. A monster as fascinating as it is frightening, proof that the greatest terrors often come from the darkness... and from games of Dungeons & Dragons.
