You may have seen "demodogs" and "demobats" in Stranger Things. But when rumors of strange creatures around Hawkins circulate back to expert Dungeon Master and Hellfire Club leader Eddie Munson, he becomes inspired.
In Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club, you'll get to experience Eddie's lost campaign, and you'll have to face off against fearsome monsters of his own creation, like the Demodragon.
Born of Nightmare and Inspiration
The Demodragon is a vision that was pulled from Eddie's wild imagination. A demonic, two-headed, dragon-esque creature with acid breath, a maw full of razor teeth, and wings that blot out the sky—summoned straight from the side of the Prince of Demons himself.
To Eddie, this was a terrifying challenge for his poor players. Something that they will need to be cunning, brave, strong, and a little lucky to defeat.

How to Run the Demodragon Like a Dragon Out of the Abyss

Even for players who are used to Eddie's twisted tactics, the Demodragon is no ordinary foe.
Its Regeneration trait, slew of Resistances and Immunities, and Fly Speed make it hard to put down, and its offensive capabilities make it too dangerous to fight for long.
Dungeon Masters running Eddie's horrifying creation will want to keep in mind:
Obscure the Environment
You have your players enter a pitch-black room. Even characters with Darkvision can only see as if it's Dim Light.
A character lights a Torch to help them see their surroundings, but its light sputters, barely casting Dim Light in a 20-foot radius.
That's when the Demodragon strikes.
Put Out the Lights
The Demodragon snuffs any magical light that shines through its Baleful Presence by targeting the caster first. It fights better in the dark because of its Blindsight.
Keep it Moving
With a 60-foot Fly Speed, the ability to regenerate Hit Points, and a rechargeable attack that can hit from range, the Demodragon doesn't want to get pinned down and surrounded on the ground.
Crush the Competition
The Demodragon is a Huge creature and frighteningly strong. Have it make an Unarmed Strike to grapple its prey, then fly up and devour at its leisure.
