"Pennywise himself (or more accurately, ITself?) is a malevolent alien presence, one that landed in Derry millions of years earlier. The monster is a shapeshifter whose true form appears to human eyes as golden lights, or "deadlights," as King calls it. Taking a page from H.P. Lovecraft and the cosmic horror genre, the deadlights compel anyone who sees them driven to madness."
"Essentially, Pennywise is a drop of poison in a glass of water. While Pennywise is a concentrated entity, he manifests in all corners of Derry. But even after reading over 1,200 pages of the King novel, the true nature of Pennywise's "species" is still unknown. All fans know for certain is that Pennywise manifests every twenty-seven years or so, and that he/it hails from the Macroversea dimension that exists far outside ours."
