Either way, with a final season of the Netflix hit on the way, it's unlikely we've seen the last of this beast in the series. One could easily say the same thing about its on-screen counterpart. However, the boys may have found inspiration in its nature - "Out of the Abyss," which accompanies the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons, describes the Demogorgon as "the embodiment of chaos, madness, and destruction" (via Dungeons & Dragons). While these dueling personalities keep it from ever finding peace with itself, it seems this warlike nature also may have helped the creature inevitably gain its status as the demon prince and ruler of the Abyss.Īside from being vicious bipedal monsters, the Demogorgon in Dungeons & Dragons and the Demogorgon in "Stranger Things" seem to have little in common physically. A demon with two baboon heads, tentacles, and a reptilian body, the Demogorgon began as a boss fight for players at the end of a campaign (via CBR). As if this weren't strange enough, the Demogorgon's separate heads both have different names and personalities that are often at odds with one another. Though the Demogorgon depicted on-screen is deeply strange to begin with, the description of the creature in its original incarnation is even more bizarre.
