Stranger Things Season 4's New Monster Details Revealed
More details about the big bad in Stranger Things season four have been revealed by one of the crew members who used practical special effects to make the new monster a reality. Originally hitting Netflix in 2016, the science-fiction horror show set in the 1980s follows a rag-tag group of kids in Hawkins, Indiana, who are drawn into the center of a fight between their world and the supernatural world of the Upside Down. The group is helmed by Mike (Finn Wolfhard) who kicked off the show by encouraging his small group of friends who liked riding bikes and playing D&D to take in Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), a strange girl with supernatural powers. As the seasons have progressed, the friend group has grown bigger and their abilities to fight monsters like Demogorgons and the evil Mind Flayer have gotten stronger. However, the end of the newest trailer for Stranger Things season four reveals a new threat looming on the horizon in the form of the sinister humanoid Vecna.
As with the naming of the Demogorgon and the Mind Flayer, the name Vecna (aka the Undying King) comes from D&D lore about a wizard who eventually becomes corrupted as he uses dark magic to become an immortal creature known as a lich. With the second episode being titled «Vecna's Curse,» the monster is set up to be an integral part of the fourth season and a bigger threat to the Hawkins crew than any government conspiracy or Russian base. If the creature is anything like its D&D counterpart it will be increasingly hard to defeat as it doesn't need a host, and it won't be as easily manipulated as the other monsters that rely on instinct alone.
