Scientists at Hawkins Lab began investigating the dimension, discovering exactly what it contained. One such scientist entered through the Gate, wearing a hazmat suit linked to a chain rope. The scientist was savaged and killed by the Demogorgon almost immediately after entering the dimension. The Demogorgon hunted and killed other people and creatures, being particularly lured by blood. Its victims included Barbara Holland, hunters Dale and Henry, and a wounded deer. After Nancy Wheeler entered the Upside Down through a temporary portal, she observed the Demogorgon as it feasted on the deer. The Demogorgon noticed her, chasing her until she returned through the portal. Will eventually succumbed to exhaustion, lying in his makeshift fort. The Demogorgon found him, breaking through the fort wall and taking him to the Upside Down library. Nancy and Jonathan Byers later exploited the Demogorgon's attraction to blood to ambush it. With the aid of Steve, they severely injured the beast, setting it alight - however, it survived and slipped into the Upside Down. The Demogorgon left the Byers house and headed to the library, leaving a trail of blood.

Superhuman Durability: With its durable skin and tough body, the Demogorgon could withstand massive amounts of bullets from multiple firearms and several beatings from a baseball bat with nails. However, it was unable to resist Eleven's power of biokinesis, which she uses to dissolve and kill the Demogorgon. The Demogorgon features a fully-articulated body with over 24 points of articulation, with the torso, elbow, and ankle joints cleverly hidden beneath soft PVC, and utilises a realistic multi-layered paint application to enhance the creature’s intimidating life-like appearance. The Demogorgon action figure also includes two interchangeable heads (opened and closed-mouth version), and two pairs of hands so you can recreate all the horror from the hit series Stranger Things in your collection. He has named these stages after what this so-called Dart looked like in his care over the course of a week coupled with his knowledge of adult Demogorgon. Stop staring at me in disbelief, yes, our working hypothesis is that a demogorgon reaches maturity in the span of seven days.

For Stranger Things Week’s Upside Down Appreciation Day, Netflix Life’s resident monstrologist Sabrina Reed is going to share some fun facts about the Demogorgon from S tranger Things. When asked if the Demogorgon was some kind of plant due to its appearance, Mark Steger responded that it was fair speculation, adding that he feels it's "more mushroom, which is kind of between plant and animal. " [6]

We recommend immediate extermination if you encounter a demogorgon in one of these three life stages. They are relatively harmless in these forms and easily manageable. Do not let this creature advance to the fourth stage! By that point, not only will you be in danger but any living creature within the vicinity will as well. In D&D lore, Demogorgon is a demon prince with two heads that strive to dominate one another but are unable to do so. Sometimes, the Demogorgon, instead of eating its prey, would capture them in an attempt to breed more Demogorgons, as it did to Will. Unfortunately, the basis of most of our information on these early days comes from records we obtained from that lab and the testimony of several children, their guardians, and a few young adults. We have yet to establish boots on the ground ourselves, so the renderings of the demogorgons we have provided to you are artist representations. Many of the scenes with the Demogorgon were done practically, with Mark Steger portraying the Demogorgon in a suit with an animatronic head. CGI was used for scenes that required the Demogorgon to do things a man in a suit couldn't possibly do.

In any event, like many predators, the Demogorgon simply took any opportunity to hunt and acquire prey, and generally preferred solitary or isolated victims. Without sufficient tests we cannot confirm the validity of this position or if there are any outstanding factors that may have expedited the process. All we know is that a middle school boy put one of these creatures in its larva form in a terrarium, kept it protected from light, and it grew. If you see one of these creatures at this stage, do not be a hero. Run. Oh, and watch out for projectiles and try to keep your feet under you. The earliest known adult Demogorgon on record had telekinetic abilities, and we’ve yet to confirm whether this is a trait they all possess. Interdimensional Travel: The Demogorgon was able to move between dimensions. It repeatedly entered Hawkins by creating temporary tears in space-time. It could pull individuals, such as Will Byers and Barbara Holland, through these temporary gates and into the Upside Down. As recruits, at this stage in your career, we do not ask you to risk your lives beyond what is reasonable. It’s why you are not asked to collect samples or wrangle any of the creatures we’ve discussed thus far. Currently, you are here for information gathering only. You are collecting anecdotal evidence for us to utilize at our discretion.

The group began to hypothesize that the Monster may have really existed, and was responsible for Will's disappearance. From this point on, the group began referring to the creature as "the Demogorgon". Eleven first observed the Demogorgon hunkered over large, yellow eggs feeding off them. It’s not clear whether or not these were the creature’s offspring, or if they were even the same species. The Demogorgon’s third stage is where we complete its amphibious-like references. At this point in growth, this otherworldly being is much like a frog. It’s the color of grass, quadrupedal, small but sharp teeth have taken root in its mouth, and it retains its tail.The artists at Aaron Sims Creative were given the task of designing the look of the Demogorgon, with the description of a "humanoid creature with no face, just a mouth." From the very beginning, the Duffers wanted the creature to be humanoid and grotesque, with the creature designs of H.R. Giger, Clive Barker, Guillermo del Toro, and Masahiro Ito being influential to the Demogorgon’s appearance because of their "strangeness." [1] [3]The artists went through several early concepts, some of which were "more monstrous in shape, even more asymmetrical." Ultimately, they were inspired by nature when they came up with the flower petal-like mouth in the first week, a design that really resonated with the Duffers. [4] Production [ ] See Also: Special Effects Spectral Motion, a makeup and creature effects studio which has worked on productions such as Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth, was given the task of building the Demogorgon. They only had a span of two months to complete the project, leaving almost no room for error. [1] The animatronic head consisted of 26 motors, and the noise they produced often made hearing directions difficult for Steger. [6] The animatronics were also designed in such a way that the “petals” would move uniquely each time they opened. When the Duffers first saw the Demogorgon's mouth open, they were blown away, saying “It felt organic. Creepy. Real.” For the shots where the creature's mouth was open, Steger's exposed face would be removed digitally and replaced with a mouthpiece that was also created by Spectral Motion. [1] [7] Though the relationship between this particular Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer and Vecna is somewhat unclear, Dustin believed the Demogorgon was akin to “the Mind Flayer’s foot soldier”.

It is unknown whether the creature was attracted by other stimuli, though a likely candidate was sound: when Nancy ventured into the Upside Down, the Demogorgon was unaware of her presence until she stepped on a vine, making a loud noise. However, the Demogorgon’s sudden reaction in this moment may have been linked to the Upside Down’s hive mind. The fact that sound from the human dimension was faintly audible to human ears in the Upside Down would suggest the Demogorgon was also sensitive to sound; however, it remains unclear where the creature had ears, in the conventional sense.

The Princess Bride

It’s important to note that the creature’s aversion to sunlight will be completely gone by this stage. Do not, I repeat, do not engage a stage four demogorgon simply because you are outside and the sun is shining. It does not care, and I will not care about the lives of recruits who foolishly take this course of action. You will be on your own.
