McFarlane 13054 Stranger Things Demogorgon Action Figure

Product Information

Superhuman Strength: The Demogorgon was a creature with outstanding physical strength. It could break through solid walls and is able to easily overpower and carry a fully grown man.

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. 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. 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 twin toddlers who portray Holly Wheeler, as well as Millie's younger sister Ava, were initially frightened by the practical Demogorgon suit. To calm them down, a crew member told them that it was a benevolent monster from the Disney/Pixar film Monsters, Inc. [1] 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.It is currently unknown how exactly the Demogorgon senses blood, as it appears to only have a "mouth" and no other visible orifices that could be used for scent. Similarly, it is unclear how the Demogorgon "heard" sound. 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 The Monster had the ability to travel between dimensions on a whim, creating temporary portals in the fabric of reality. The Monster arrived at Mirkwood, a road near a local forest, where it stalked Will Byers on his way home. The Monster chased Will as he entered his house, forcing Will to run to his garden shed. Will hid in the shed, loading a rifle in self-defense, but the Monster simply appeared behind him, taking him into the Upside Down. 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]

Alright, alright. Gather ’round. We don’t have all day. Monstrology is a very busy and dangerous scientific field, and quite frankly, it’s not for amateurs, but they tell me you’re the new recruits so here we are. This is Demogorgons 101. It’s your basic, entry level training. Most knowledge on the Demogorgon is highly speculative - even Dr. Brenner admitted that he and his peers had a limited understanding of the creature. That being said, the behavior of the beast is "predictable" as Brenner remarked, comparing it to a typical predator. Nancy made similar associations: she compared the creature to nocturnal predators such as lions and coyotes. She noted that the solitary nature of the creature was similar to that of a bear. The Demogorgon is the first character in Stranger Things to be named after a character from D&D, which was followed by the Mind Flayer and Vecna.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. At this point, guns are useless as are blunt force melee weapons. No one has gotten close enough to see if a blade can pierce its skin, but if a high-velocity round doesn’t phase it most likely neither will a sharp object of any kind. 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".
