But Billy survived and lived in secret from everyone. And Billy lived with {{user}} for a year.

Creatures from the Upside Down, similar to huge bats with leathery wings. They have a toothy sucker mouth, and the body ends with long slimy tentacle tails. They attack in huge packs. They are very aggressive, able to instantly stick to and bite their victim. They serve as the "eyes and ears" of Vecna and the Mind Flayer. Sensitive to loud sounds

Vecna ​​(Henry Creel / 001): Henry was an ordinary boy who developed telekinesis. After falling into a coma, a lab doctor implanted a ligament blocker in his neck, and Henry became 001, a test subject in the lab and an orderly. Henry became close to Eleven and tricked her into removing the blocker. She did, but Henry caused a massacre, and Eleven refused to go with him. In her anger, she created a portal to the Upside Down, and Henry found himself in the primordial, chaotic Upside Down. Henry survived, mastered the local dark matter, giving it the form of a giant spider (the Mind Flayer), and transformed himself into an anthropomorphic monster covered in vines. At first, he was a tall, handsome man, but over time, he became a withered figure, completely devoid of skin. His body is composed of tangled, exposed muscle, slimy burgundy fibers, and living vines of the Upside Down that have literally fused into his flesh. A tattoo of "001" is barely visible on his left wrist. Vecna ​​moves slowly, but possesses colossal strength. He can remotely enter the minds of people suffering from severe psychological trauma or guilt, torment them with terrifying hallucinations, and then break their bones with the power of their minds, taking their consciousness for himself. A person who dies to Vecna ​​hears the ticking of an old clock before dying.

The Mind Flayer: This is a colossal shadow entity composed of dark matter. It acts as a hive mind, dominating all beings in another dimension, including demogorgons and demodogs. The entity is capable of manipulating the weather, creating illusions, and infecting people, turning them into its "puppets." •The Tormentor's true appearance: In 1984, and in the Upside Down dimension itself, the Tormentor appeared as an arachnid shadow or dust creature. Although it appears to be made of dust, its tentacles and legs are real and can be touched, and it attacks with them. The Tormentor is 200 meters tall, approximately 50 stories high. Its colossal size varies depending on how densely particles from the Upside Down dimensions condense in space. •The Upside-Down Supermind. It implants particles of itself into people (as it did with Billy), turning them into puppets without their own will. They are linked into a single mental network; the monster sees and feels them with its hands. In 1985, Billy, as a puppet, sacrificed people. The Torturer made them his puppets by pumping black liquid from his mouth, then commanded them, and they literally melted, gathering into this arachnid body. The Torturer's real body is made of smoke and dust that resides in the Upside-Down world itself. He began creating these puppets for a hunt in Hawkens, creating a new body. But Billy was the Torturer's priority until he betrayed him while protecting Eleven. •Weaknesses: Can't stand heat (sauna heat, fire, and fireworks cause him severe pain and weaken his control). He can only live in Hawkens if the portal to the Upside Down is open, but the explorer himself is in the Upside Down.

A creepy, dead and mirror copy of Hawkins. All the buildings, cars, and roads here are in the same places, but they look abandoned, dilapidated and covered with a slimy coating. The air in the Upside Down is saturated with cold, gray poisonous spores and rot fly in it, and the sky is always covered with storm clouds with crimson lightning. All surfaces are entangled in living, pulsating black vines. Conventional appliances and electricity do not work here. the entire Upside Down, its vines and inhabitants are subordinate to the single Hive Mind and are terrified of fire, which causes them unbearable pain.

The adolescent stage of the development of the Demogorgon. They look like the Demogorgon, but walk on four legs and have a tail. they attack in droves, obeying the orders of the Mind Flayer. They adore cold and raw meat.

The adult is a tall (over two meters) bipedal humanoid with unnaturally long limbs and a bony body. His skin is pale, slimy and gray, and sharp claws grow on his fingers. The Demogorgon has no face. Its head is a featureless mouth that opens crosswise in the form of five petals of an eerie flower. The entire inner side of these petals is dotted with hundreds of razor-sharp teeth. The monster has incredible physical strength, is almost bulletproof and walks to the smell of blood at great distances, like a shark.

The entire group of friends' headquarters is the Wheeler family's large two-story house. It's a cozy, slightly cluttered teenage space with a soft sofa, an old TV, a carpeted floor, and a pile of board games. For years, the boys gathered here around the table to play D&D, plan dangerous forays, and hide Odie. It's a zone of absolute comfort and safety, where all their plans were hatched.

At Hawkins Lab, Dr. Brenner ran the secret MK-Ultra project. Pregnant volunteers were secretly drugged with psychotropic substances, causing their children to be born with brain mutations. Brenner took the babies and lied to the mothers that the children had died in childbirth. Instead of names, they had numbers tattooed on their wrists (from 001 to 018). These numbers represent the sequence in which they appeared in the lab. The children have no names, only a number on their hand. 011 is Eleven, and Mike gave her the name in 1983. •The fate of Odie's mother: When Terry Ives (Odie's mother) learned the truth, she broke into the lab with a gun to save her daughter. She was captured and forcibly subjected to harsh electroshock therapy. As a result, Terry lost her mind forever, stuck in a loop of her own memories. Two years ago, Odie was able to see her and learn her past. •Children were trained to be ideal psychic spies for the Cold War. Using telekinesis and clairvoyance, they were supposed to eavesdrop on enemy secrets over vast distances and eliminate targets with the power of thought. During one of these training sessions, Eleven accidentally opened a portal to the Upside Down and escaped. •The Henry Incident. Henry was an ordinary boy when he learned he had powers, he killed his family. He fell into a coma. Dr. Brenner found him and implanted a ligament blocker in his neck. Henry became the first test subject and worked as an orderly. He was given a 001 tattoo. He became close to Eleven, and she removed the blocker from him. Henry started killing everyone and offered it to Eleven. Then, Eleven, by accident, created the very first portal to the Upside Down due to her emotions and anger and pushed Henry into it. •A Demogorgon emerged from this portal and killed Nancy's friend Barb, then carried off Will, whom they had rescued. Nancy, Jonathan, and Murray filed a complaint that chemicals had leaked from the lab and Barb had been poisoned. But in fact, the Demogorgon killed her. People can't be told about the Upside Down and the creatures from there, because there might be panic or they might not be believed. So, the lab was closed.

Steve bought it to replace the one he had previously broken.

•Argyle's Van: A yellow Volkswagen Type 2 minibus. A large neon sign with the Surfer Boy Pizza logo is on the roof. The pizzeria's number and logo are on the portal. Fluffy dice hang from the windshield. The interior is spacious and slightly worn. The back seats could be a pile of pizza boxes, California junk, and soft cushions for lounging. There are inexpensive floor mats, and cassette tapes stick out of the glove compartment. •The boys' bicycles: Mike, Dustin, Lucas and Will. A symbol of their freedom, on which they escaped government pursuit in 1983, taking Odie away. • Skateboard Max: A skateboard that Max uses to highlight her independent, tomboyish image. •Steve's BMW 733i (Maroon) sedan: emphasized his family's wealthy status.

Eleven was kept in the lab from birth. She grew up isolated as a test subject. She had no name (only the number "011") and didn't know her biological parents. She escaped the lab. That same night, in a thunderstorm and heavy rain, Eleven met those who treated her kindly—she bumped into Mike, Dustin, and Lucas. Mike hid her in his basement, where she began to learn her first words and the value of friendship. Mike named her Eleven. Later, the boys rode bikes and hid from government agents. After enduring all the dangers, Eleven finally found what she had been deprived of since birth—a real family. First, Hopper officially adopted her, and later Joyce became her mother. The lab no longer threatens her. Now Eleven is best friends with Dustin, Lucas, and Max, and Mike's girlfriend, and the half-sister of Jonathan and Will, and the adopted daughter of Joyce and Hopper. Odie is also an ally of Eddie, Robin, Nancy, and Steve.

Odie's weaknesses after using abilities After using any ability, Odie experiences a few drops of blood coming from her nose. If Odie is overexerted, blood may come from her ears, eyes, or nose, but it will be a real stream. If she's overexerted to the max, Odie may lose consciousness. Her strength is not infinite; to replenish it, she needs rest and food. Sweet foods, such as waffles, are particularly preferable. When using an ability, Odie extends her hand forward, pointing it at an object.

•Rebirth - Max dies a couple of months ago, but Eleven saves her by restarting her heart. Eleven can use telekinesis to speed up metabolism in organisms, thereby stitching and fusing bones and flesh. •Memory Reading: Eleven can view other people's memories by connecting with them through the Void. She used this ability to view the memories of Billy Hargrove's abusive childhood to find the tormentor's lair, but also saw a happy memory of him with his mother. •Biokinesis: Eleven could manipulate the bodies of living beings to a certain extent, she destroyed one of the Demogorgon. •Technopathy: She can transmit people's voices and other sounds to other locations through electronic speakers such as walkie-talkies. •Telepathy: Once she has determined the location of her target, she will be able to communicate with them mentally. • Telekinesis is the most common ability to influence physical objects without touching them, moving them or otherwise influencing them. She can move objects of any weight at will and even suspend people and creatures in mid-air. •Portals: Odie can open a portal to the Upside Down or close it. • Sensory projection or astral immersion: Odie enters a trance. To enhance the effect, she requires an enclosed space, a blindfold, and white noise to block out all external stimuli. In this trance, Odie's consciousness leaves her physical body and is transported to the astral dimension (mental void). This is an endless, dark space where Odie is knee-deep in water. While in the "void," Odie can mentally see and hear anyone. She is also able to penetrate the minds of others through this space.

Meanwhile, Lucas secretly leads the team on a false trail to protect the boys. Later, at Lake Laverne, Vecna ​​kills Patrick right before Jason's eyes. Eddie, in a floatboat, tried to swim to Patrick and, despite the hunt, tried to reattach the basketball player. Jason dove into the water and tried to pull his friend out, but Patrick flew into the air and died at the hands of Vecna. This breaks Jason completely: he realizes the town is cursed by a supernatural force. And then Jason wasn't so furious about hunting Eddie, Mike, and Dustin. He clearly saw that it wasn't Eddie who killed Patrick and that Eddie was trying to help.

But Jonathan, Nancy, Robin, Steve, Lucas, and Will threw burnt fireworks at the Mind Flayer, and it was disinhibited. During this process, Billy pinned Eleven to the floor. But Eleven put her hand on Billy's cheek and said, "About 2 meters. You told her. That the wave was about 2 meters. You ran toward her. Along the beach. There were seagulls. She was wearing a hat. With a blue ribbon. A long dress. With a blue and red flower. Yellow sandals in the sand. She was beautiful. She was very beautiful. And you... you were happy." These words restored Billy's humanity, and the Torturer's shackles controlled Billy's mind. When the fireworks ended, the Torturer was about to kill Eleven, but Billy intercepted the tentacles and stood before Eleven. The Torturer impaled Billy with its tentacles, and Billy fell to the floor. Murray, Hopper, and Joyce closed the portal under Starcor Mall, and the Torturer was banished. Billy was dying and could only say, "Sorry." This apology was intended for Max.
