Demogorgon
Ancient chaos god
Demogorgon is a demon or primordial deity from classical and medieval mythology, often depicted as a powerful, fearsome entity ruling over lesser demons.
The name appears in works by Milton and Shelley as a figure of cosmic terror.
In contemporary usage, Demogorgon gained widespread recognition as the monster in the television series *Stranger Things*, where it became shorthand for any terrifying creature from another dimension: The kids called the thing in the basement a Demogorgon.
