In Stranger Things, Hawkins, Indiana has one helluva monster problem. Ever since Eleven accidentally opened an inter-dimensional gateway to the terrifying world of the Upside Down, smalltown USA has become the port of call for all things that go bump in the night. Together with her pals Dustin, Lucas, Mike, and Will, Eleven has faced everything from prowling packs of Demodogs to towering Demogorgons.
Now finished with its third season, Stranger Things has boasted a wide variety of monsters over the years. The series started off with several mysterious entities like the Demogorgon, finally graduating to full-on creature feature when it introduced the dreaded Mind Flayer in Season 2. Luckily, Eleven and her friends got some reinforcements because by Season 3, as the Mind Flayer was closer than ever to coming through the Gate and wiping Hawkins off the map.
Updated by Kayleena Pierce-Bohen on August 30th, 2021: Fans can hardly wait until Stranger Things season 4 debuts in 2022, but Netflix’s 30-second teaser trailer (which splices together new footage from the upcoming season with classic moments from the popular series) has given a few clues of what’s in store for Eleven and her friends, including a glimpse of a totally new monster. It seems that a long-lurking evil is about to finally reach the surface, posing the biggest threat on the show so far. But how does it compare to all the other monsters in Stranger Things?
9 D’artagnan
If there was a category for cutest creature — as opposed to nightmare fuel — D’Artagnan might be a contender for best in show. An adolescent version of the terrifying Demogorgons the crew face later in season 2, this little guy began as a slug-like creature found by Dustin.
Dustin’s curiosity one Halloween night led him to place the slug in his turtle’s tank and feed Three Musketeer bars (hence its deceptively altruistic name). Taking care of the monster was one of the worst things Dustin did, and “Dart” soon grew from the size of his hand to the size of a small dog, which led to its escape and later attack of the Party in the tunnels. Fortunately for Dustin and his friends, it could recognize him and somewhat block out the Mind Flayer’s influence.
8 The Hawkins Tunnel System
When a gateway was opened beneath the Hawkins National Laboratory, a biological growth began to transform the tunnels under the lab, spreading out in all directions underneath the outskirts of the town. Chief Hopper first discovered an area of the tunnels by digging up an area of a pumpkin patch.
The tunnels intersected in a point called the “Hub”, which was an important area where the Mind Flayer’s sentinels, the Demodogs and Demogorgons, gathered and coordinated their next attacks. Strewn with the bones of the dead, the Hub also is full of mysterious eggs.
7 Vines
Often referred to as “vines” by the main characters in Stranger Things, the snake-like tendrils that corrupted the tunnels under Hawkins have sentience. They are seen covering the Hawkins Public Library in Season 1 and crawling out of the Gate itself.
When Will Byers is abducted into the Upside Down, the tendrils wrap around his body holding him in place, while another tendril goes down his trachea. This leads to one of Jim Hopper’s most badass moments when he investigates the tunnels for himself, battling their many tendrils with a makeshift torch.
6 Demodog
The Demodog was the penultimate stage that a member of the Demogorgon species reached before molting into a final adult form. The Demodog was so nicknamed by Dustin because of its quadrupedal nature and resemblance to a large dog. Dustin’s pet “Dart” reached this stage in development when the Party met him again, and he now belonged to a pack of Demodogs.
Demodogs are extremely strong, fast, and agile. They possess the “petal mouth” that their species is known for, with rows of sharp teeth. Demodogs are known to be exceptional diggers, a fact the crew finds out when they face them in the Hawkins junkyard. In one of Steve’s most heroic moments, he beats one with a nail-encrusted baseball bat.
5 The Flayed
The antagonists and precursors of the Mind Flayer’s dreaded appearance, the Flayed were members of Hawkins’ community that were corrupted by the Mind Flayer’s mental power. When it could no longer control Will Byers, it chose Billy to be its emissary of doom.
In one of the most heartbreaking scenes in Stranger Things, it took over Billy’s mind and used him as an instrument of its will, as well as a means to spy on the movements of Eleven and her friends. He was able to take over other citizens, and like a zombie outbreak, dozens became mindless zombies that eventually sacrificed themselves to the Mind Flayer.
4 The Demogorgon
By far the most recognizable of all the monsters in Stranger Things, the Demogorgon was introduced in Season 1 as the main antagonist to assault Hawkins. Referred to simply as “the Monster” until Dustin and the gang came up with a name derived from the famed Dungeons and Dragons antagonist, it was unleashed when Eleven made one of her biggest mistakes — accidentally opening the Upside Down with her mind.
The Demogorgon abducted various citizens of Hawkins, including Will Byers, kidnapping him to be placed in the Upside Down and used to breed more of its kind. Standing anywhere from six to ten feet tall, the Demogorgon towered over its prey, and with its incredible strength, skin that could resist bullets, and a “petal mouth” full of sharp teeth, it’s hard to believe Eleven could stop its rampage in the showdown at Hawkins Middle School.
3 The Hospital Monster
Much like the creature in The Thing, the Hospital Monster was a horrible amalgamation of pieces of human tissue. It was made from the Flayed members Bruce Lowe and Tom Holloway, both employees of the local Hawkins newspaper. When Nancy Wheeler and Jonathan Byers killed them in the Hawkins Memorial Hospital, their bodies turned into a bloody pulp that attacked them savagely, until Eleven arrived to kill it.
Possessing the mental acuity of the Mind Flayer, this monster was not only a terrifying-looking abomination, but it was also intelligent —in essence, a mini-version of the much larger creature). Fortunately — or unfortunately — it was later reabsorbed into the Mind Flayer to make it even more powerful.
2 The Spider Monster
In one of Stranger Things’ scariest scenes, this hulking monstrosity — the largest embodiment of the Mind Flayer yet — attacked the Party in the Starcourt Mall. By using the bodies of the Flayed to construct a physical body, it had managed to grow from the dormant particulate inside Will Byers to become a gargantuan spider-beast.
The Spider Monster was the only piece of the Mind Flayer that didn’t get destroyed when Eleven closed the gate, allowing it to watch (through its connection with Will Byers) and wait for its opportunity to strike. Not only was it one of the most disturbing looking monsters in Stranger Things, but its methodical consumption of Hawkins’ citizens also made it a secretive, devious killer that not even Eleven saw coming.
1 The Mind Flayer
The Mind Flayer is the ultimate antagonist in Stranger Things and the hulking ruler of the Upside Down. Introduced in Season 2 as the “Shadow Monster” based on Will’s experience being abducted, Will informs Eleven and his friends that after his return from the Upside Down he shares a link with its hideous overlord, a creature with spider-like legs that towers over its domain and wants nothing more than to take over Hawkins.
What makes the Mind Flayer so dangerous is its mental control of not only the Hawkins tunnel system and vines, but Demogorgons, the Flayed, and the Spider-Monster. He uses them as instruments of destruction on Hawkins, though he hopes to eventually conquer the world — unless he’s stopped.
