Not only are we getting new characters to love–we’re also getting a new big bad in Hawkins! Vecna, the horrifyingly grotesque monster shown in the official trailer, is this season’s new villain we’ll love to hate.Not much is known about the character yet, but eagle-eyed D&D players will recognize the name. In Dungeons and Dragons, Vecna, also known as the Whispered One or the Undying King, was a powerful undead wizard. Between this wet-looking humanoid monster and the cute-ish sounding demo-bats, the residents of Hawkins will have plenty of creatures to battle!
