Stranger Things
Demogorgon
The Stranger Things Demogorgon is a predatory creature from the Upside Down, a dark reflection of the world also known as the Plane of Shadow.
Faceless Killer. The Stranger Things Demogorgon is tall and thin with a humanoid figure. It's "face" has no facial features and opens like a flower to reveal nothing but teeth. It bears clawed feet and hands along with a body that appears covered in shiny liquids.
Denizen of the Upside Down. The Stranger Things Demogorgon hails from The Upside Down, also known as the Shadowfell, or Vale of Shadows; a dimension that is a dark reflection, or echo, of our world. It is a place of decay and death, a plane out of phase. The Upside Down is dimly lit, with ropy, root-like veins growing over many surfaces. The air is filled with what appear to be feathery spores. The only "living" entity is the Stranger Things Demogorgon.
What the Duffer Bros. have said about the Stranger Things Demorgorgon
"We don’t want to reveal much, other than to say it is an interdimensional being that has more in common with the shark from Jaws than Pennywise from It. When the monster enters our dimension, it’s like a shark breaching the water. Very much like a shark, it drags its prey back into its home, where it feeds. Each time it enters our world, it leaves a small tear, or wound. That’s what Joyce found in her wall in episode 4, and Nancy found in the tree in episode 5. These tears are almost like portholes into the Upside Down. But they don’t last very long. Like wounds, they eventually heal and seal up."
