the demo gorgon ah now we're talking right the thing is as is the case with
popular culture this particular otherworldly entity has had quite a few
different avenues to pursue through its fictional history that will make things
pretty damn interesting giving these hypothetical parameters because if
you're only here for turning things upside down with the stranger things the
picture the creature in question well-worn tabletop game from 1976 is
going to flip the table on that assumption and not only that but there
also may be a much more ancient being lurking somewhere in the shadows - who
knew the demagogue can had so much depth right hello Internet what's going on and
once again welcome back to the most inquisitive channel on YouTube life's
biggest questions as per usual I'll be your this modifying voice Jack finches
today we curious you asked the question what if the demagoguing was real roll
the clip
for the curious annoys you of course that scene with some season 1 of
stranger things which is like we said perhaps the main reason that you guys
are even clicking on this particular life's biggest question and it's
interesting to note that when approaching this hypothetical scenario
there are quite a few incarnations of the demagogue and for us to pick from
which will make things a little interesting in terms of the implications
of this entity being real but perhaps most importantly and most interesting
the actual origin of the demagogue may already actually be real in terms of
ancient history anyway yeah we didn't see that one coming right before we get
to the source or the Demiurge shall we say we should probably paint the
parameters of the demagogue and in contemporary fiction in the Canon of the
awesome Netflix series stranger things the demagogue and also simply referred
to as the monster was the titular predatory humanoid creature that entered
Hawkins Indiana through anomalous means way back when in November of 1983
knowledge of its existence was brought about by a little girl with a shaved
head 11 a psychic test subject from Hawkins National Laboratory who made
interdimensional contact with the creature causing a gate to be opened
from their sleepy suburban town to a bizarre and terrifying parallel
dimension simply refer to as the upside-down the demagogue and itself is
a tall and thin humanoid creature with elongated limbs and a head whose flesh
and furs like a terrifying anomalous flower to reveal petals with rows and
rows of razor-sharp teeth and a large and mouths when the duffer brothers the
creators of stranger things were describing the creation of the demo
Gorgon they attributed its design similar to that of the shark from Jaws
and that's a pretty apt example of what it is really it's a terrifying
interdimensional shark that burst from the scenes of reality and eats people if
that version of the demo Gorgon was real things would be pretty straightforward
actually we'd be forced to acknowledge the existence of alternate realities and
after a painstaking amount of exploratory research most likely at the
expense of many human lives we'd eventually capture and study it and in
all probability use its anomalous biotechnology to traverse other strange
new dimensions and well that sounds like a pretty curtains your argument hey
that's just human nature and as far as we know there's only one demagogue in so
unless we add a mind flayer to the equation there's not that much more
competition actually but in that respect that's where things get a little
difficult to pin down you see for all we know the creature on the upside down may
well be something entirely different from the demagogue wouldn't that we are
aware of and not only that as fans of the show will obviously know the
demagogue on is merely a nickname a placeholder to give a title to the
terrifying unknown creature from another dimension and as Dustin will Lucas and
Mike discovered the most terrifying turtle that they knew at the time was
the demagogue in a fictional creature from their favorite game Dungeons &
Dragons perhaps the greatest tabletop game ever created it is in the Canon of
D&D the demagogue and also known as Amon Ybor is the prince of demons the Lord of
all that swims in darkness which essentially means he's one of the
baddest two-headed demons in the valley or well the abyss the home plain of all
demonic evil the demagoguing appears as an 18-foot reptilian tonari vaguely
representing a humanoid form with arms and legs that end in long tentacles and
two mandrel heads sprouting from its twin snake-like necks yeah gross and
those two heads in particular are the crowning glory in this incarnation of
the demagogue on two heads and two individual minds a mule the left head
and half retire the right head and one of the best-kept secrets of the
demagogues demonic power which it keeps from even its closest cultists and
minions is that it's two personas absolutely hate each other which is
literally the worst thing that you could hope for if you had two heads the demo
Gorgons two personas strive to dominate and even kill each other but a
completely unable to as when they boil it all down
they are just merely aspects of one another
if this incarnation of the demagoguing was real well we'd have to hope to high
heaven that it'd just wait it out in its abyssal Ram of origin given the fact
that there are an infinite number of them and we could only cross our fingers
in the vain hope that the demagogue and just leaves us be because yeah if it
doesn't it's pretty much game over for Humanity unless we know of any brave
bands of druids warlocks and/or barbarians looking for an adventure but
you see we can go on deeper because dungeons and dragons drew its own kind
of inspiration from a much more ancient version of the creature in question and
there's no other draconic inspired demon lord of myth and legend than that of the
root of all pagan demons the demagogue on and this is where things get a little
bit primordial I guess in ancient mythology the demo Gorgon is a deity or
demon envisioned as an incredibly powerful primordial being whose very
name had been made to boot it is pretty much exclusively associated with the
underworld but the most intriguing part of the ancient demagogue win' is that it
is thought to be attributed to a far more ancient creature in turn you know
how the old saying goes history is written by the victors right well that's
the case with mythology and religion - and the reason that pretty much all
pagan gods are attributed to the title of demons is that the pagan religions
were all but wiped out by the newfound forms of Christianity one of those
Gnosticism which in turn has its roots in Platonism the school of philosophy
set about by Plato himself in the early 300 BC attributes the demagogue into a
much more simple term the Demiurge which essentially means craftsman or artisan
in ancient Greek and yet whilst the Demiurge and the demagogue and found
itself twisted and contorted over time the root of the Demiurge is far more
illuminating than anything else you see the meaning behind the ancient Greek
translation of craftsman or artisan is fairly straightforward eventually it
came to mean producer or creator of what you may ask well the universe for all
intents and purposes in Gnostic in platonic teachings the Demiurge aka the
demagogue or gun is God yeah and I don't think anyone was expecting that kind of
question really were they let's move on well though we
have a guy's hour long and short answer the question what if the demagogue n'
was real if you believe in God it may well be what do you guys think do you
agree disagree it have any more to add on the matter then let us know your
