However, he is ultimately stopped by Eleven ( Milly Bobby Brown) who gets inside Billy’s mind and frees him from the being. Using Billy as a conduit, the Mind Flayer kills several residents of Hawkins to become even stronger. In Season 3, he makes his biggest moves yet, taking over Max ( Sadie Sink)’s brother Billy ( Dacre Montgomery). The Mind Flayer who is the big bad of the Stranger Things universe and is the being that sends Demogorgons from the Upside Down to the world above, is able to finally confront all the heroes in Hawkins. The Season 3 finale sees all the leading characters assemble and fight the Russian soldiers as well as the Mind Flayer together. This was due to them experimenting with the Upside Down world and opening a gate to the place. However, as the events of the third season unfold, our lead characters learn that the mall is essentially a front for a Russian lab that operates underground by the Soviets.

However, in Season 4, it was revealed the Mind Flayer is, actually, controled by Vecna, the true main antagonist of the series.For those who may not remember, Season 3 took place around the mid 80s, where a new mall called the Starcourt Mall is all the rage with the residents of Hawkins. Until Season 4, was thought that, unlike other Stranger Things creatures, like the demogorgon, the Mind Flayer showed, especially in third season, to have sapience, which made possible classifiying it as a Complete Monster/Pure Evil being due to the amount of havoc and destruction he wreaked. It apparently has his human victims injecting fragments of his smoky mass into them, basically in the same way it has Will Byers, in the second season, and Billy Hargrove, in the third. Later, it made the same to human beings until the proxy form develops into a gigantic creature.

It starts exploding hats to assimilate they biomasse in order to form a minor physical form of original Mind Flayer. Like many incomprehensible eldritch abominations, its gender is unknown.Īfter possessing Will Byers and being expelled from his body in second season, the fragment of it remained in our world, only to wake up in third season, when the Upside Down portal was opened again by russian scientists. His original/true form Is basically like a living cloud, while its currently form was designated by Henry Creel based in the black-widow spiders which fascinated him during his childhood, the reason why the Mind Flayer has a spider-like form.

But it was molded by Henry Creel/One/Vecna into a tendrill monster that resembles an animal with tentacles and xenomorph head, whose body appears to be composed by minuscules silver-black particles. The original Mind Flayer is a gigantic approximately 50 stories tall smoke-like being of incomprehensible form, with its original form being nothing but a stormy cloud of alien particles. The Mind Flayer has a mind hive and uses it to command other creatures from the Upside Down, like "demogorgon" and vines.
