Vecna
Vecna is a powerful undead villain from Dungeons & Dragons, a lich who became a god through dark magic and manipulation.
The character has spread into broader pop culture through the Netflix series Stranger Things, where Vecna appears as the main antagonist—a psychic monster who kills by exploiting victims' trauma and guilt.
The kids figured out that music could break Vecna's curse.
