Special effects artist Aaron Sims was tasked with designing the Demogorgon for Stranger Things after the creators expressed uncertainty about what the monster should look like. Seeking inspiration, Sims looked at a turtle's snapping mouth and a Venus flytrap, creating a creature with a frightening head that blooms open, revealing teeth that clamp down on prey. The Duffer brothers requested the Demogorgon to have no face, enhancing its horror. Additionally, new terrifying creatures are set to be introduced in the upcoming sequel Alien: Earth, which aim to surpass the iconic xenomorphs.
