We think we know who is the villain of Stranger Things season 4 - it&#039;s Vecna from Dungeons &amp; Dragons. Find out more here.

Who Is Vecna in Stranger Things Season 4 and What Is His Curse? Is He the Same Sorcerer Turned Lich as in the Dungeons and Dragons Fantasy Game?

The Duffer Brothers have given us enough hints since last year, but they were
too cryptic to make sense. Now that the latest trailer has dropped, we think we
have an idea about who’s the big bad this season. The hint is in the title of
Stranger Things episode 2, and the unnamed entity that you see in the trailer.
And no it’s not the Demogorgons or the Mind Flayer. We think it’s Vecna, the
lich turned God in Dungeons & Dragons that’s pulling the strings in Stranger
Things season 4. 


WHO IS VECNA IN STRANGER THINGS?

Vecna is a powerful sorcerer who turned himself into a lich, an undead creature,
and then eventually became a God in D&D. Although he bestows immense powers on
its users, they often find out quickly that it’s a curse. 

It seems like he is the one controlling the Mind Flayer, who in turn controls
the Demogorgons. We think it’s the grotesque rotten corpse that opens the
trailer with the spine-chilling voiceover, “You have lost.”

“You’ve broken everything. Your suffering is almost at an end.”

The Hand of Vecna and the Eye of Vecna are two things that lend his powers to
the users. The Hand of Vecna allows its users to levitate and cast the Finger of
Death spell.

We saw Max gain the power of levitation. Maybe she is using Vecna’s Hand or
under his influence somehow.  

On the other hand, the Eye of Vecna is more powerful than the Hand. It enhances
the user’s hearing ability and allows them to move in and out of reality. It
also has a rare spell, Clairaudience. To use it one has to insert it into their
eye sockets. But it’s a curse because once inserted, the user can’t remove it. 


IS THE D&D CHARACTER THE VILLAIN THIS SEASON?

All hints point toward Vecna as the malevolent force in Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] season 4. Heck, even ep 2
[https://www.polygon.com/23022190/stranger-things-season-4-vecna-dnd-critical-role4]is
titled Vecna’s Curse! But there’s a problem. Netflix has to take permission from
D&D’s publisher, Wizards of the Coast to avoid copyright claims.
