**It**is the main antagonist of Stephen King's *It*novel and movie adaptations. It is portrayed to be a shapeshifting and malevolent entity millions and possibly billions of years old, and with no exact gender or solid identity; thus why it is called It. It is a mysterious evil being from an unknown realm/dimension outside the regions of space. When It came to Earth to feed, It's favorite disguise is that of a colorful and wisecracking circus clown named Pennywise the Dancing Clown. It could also morph into any other being or thing it pleases, generally based on its target's loved ones or friends to lure them into deadly traps or It just simply appears to them as their very worst fears and nightmares.

It preferred to attract children instead of adults, so it could capture and kill to devour them. It is capable of killing every kind of human but mostly preferred to prey upon innocent human children because they were easier to manipulate and scare. According to the creature, frightened flesh tastes better.

## History

It apparently originated from an undiscovered void containing and surrounding the entire universe, a place called the Macroverse. It's real name is unknown and for millions of years, It dwelt underground, awaiting the arrival of mankind which It somehow knew would occur. Once people came and settled over the resting place where It dwelled and Derry would be eventually built, It adopted a pattern of hibernating and waking approximately every 27 to 30 years to kill prey and feast on the flesh of innocent children. Whenever It awakens it is always marked by a great and brutal act of violence such as murder or suicide, as the creature was naturally drawn to suffering and tragedy. The one and only way It can be stopped and the killing spree will end, is by another act of violence or tragic death as brutal or as significant as the first act. Then It will be forced back into a long hibernation.
