I know that monster was popular in Stranger Things and maybe I'm just stupid and unobservant but having played AD&D for about 10 years and owning about 100 rule books and hundreds of novels in all the D&D settings I'd never heard of the Demagorgon.
For an ultimate big bad guy he's surprisingly anonymous
.
He didn't even show up in The Time of Troubles in Forgotten Realms which was a war between the gods who got made mortal and sent to battle it out after the theft of the Tablet of fate.
He also doesn't show up in the War of The Lance in Lance which is a global war in the Dragonlance setting where Dragons run riot and the evil armies pretty much kill everyone for a bit of a laugh and the day is finally won when an Evil Wizard (Raistlin Majare) who's been travelling and fighting with the Heroes of the Lance is about to kill Takhisis the leader of the evil Gods and see's a future where he's the supreme God but only has the power of destruction and rules of a destroyed universe and decides to back away and helps the good guys to eventually win.
Both are cataclysmic setting shattering events and Demagorgan doesn't show up so yeah, what a lazy strawberry floater
.
He's also not present in the Blood War as far as I know which is a endless war between Devils and Demons in the outer planes.
As you can probably tell I spent all my time at school being a cool kid and always got the girl with talk of my amazing D&D book collection as it always got them super hot and bothered.
