Stranger Things Season 2 – 10 Dungeons and Dragons Monsters We Want to See
Displacer Beast
Now this right here could be a money shot in the making. A six-legged puma like beast with weird tentacle-ish tails sprouting out of its shoulders? Seriously, sign us up, like yesterday!
The Displacer Beast is no doubt a formidable foe for whoever happens to cross it on a bad day, I can’t begin to imagine how a small handful of kids will handle this monster. Especially if Elle, or Eleven is out of the picture for any reasonable amount of time.
The Displacer hasn’t received much love in commercial entertainment, and that seems absurd. The very idea of this thing is just horrifying, then you contemplate the look of the beast, which is absolutely bad ass, and you’ve got to wonder how this thing hasn’t worked its way into society in much more prominent fashion.
While this may be a very long shot, I’d love to see the Displacer Beast featured in season two of “Stranger Things.”
Sahuagin
This idea is one of the least likely, as the rural community featured in “Stranger Things” isn’t exactly surrounded by an enormous body of water. That said, there is water in the area, and that means you can’t immediately rule out the existence of a water creature, or as these nasties are best known, “Devil Men of the Deep.” They’ve been likened to sharks, and descriptions would almost indicate that these creatures are similar to a werewolf in the sense that the Sahuagin is half shark and half man.
The question, for me, immediately becomes this: how would one go about keeping a water-based villain a constant threat to a group of kids who love riding bikes and playing Dungeons & Dragons? They stay away from the water, they’re safe, right?
Told you it was a tough sell, even if the damn thing does sound really cool.
Mind Flayers
This is the kind of villain I’m hoping sees introduction very soon. Not only does it look absurdly awesome, it’s dangerous for a whole slew of different reasons. The creature looks and moves like a man, but utilizes the brain power of 10. And speaking of brain power, this bastard actually wraps three big tentacles around its victim’s heads and drains the cranium of all matter, leaving just a hollow shell behind.
You can’t tell me that doesn’t sound wildly awesome and ridiculously promising.
As much as I enjoyed the introduction of the Demogorgon, I’d really, really enjoy watching these savvy young heroes duke it out with a hyper-intelligent monster. Especially one that favors brain food, literally. Can they out-think a Mind Flayer? Can they match the monster in a physical sense? Maybe we’ll soon have answers.
