The Creeper

In fact, as quoted in the New York Times , stem cell biologist Jonas Frisen believes that "all the cells in an adult's body may turn out to be as young as 7 to 10 years. So we are constantly building our new bodies out of the food we eat. Every trip to the grocery store is a shopping spree for new energy and new building materials. The Creeper's process is just a little more literal than ours.

The Creeper's flesh-crafting abilities go far beyond the host body -- this flesh golem we mistake for the thing itself. No, it also uses its powers to craft weapons from the bones and tissue of its prey. Most remarkably, it spends large portions of its day Spring waking cycle to decorate its layer with stitched-together corpses.

While the Creeper's abilities in flesh crafting far surpass our own, humans are no stranger to creating weapons, garments, tools, utensils, musical instruments and ceremonial items from animal parts. A human may sleep on a sheep's skin beneath the mounted head of a deer. The Creeper simply does the same with parts of its own prey. We see such corpse crafting elsewhere in the animal kingdom as well.

One species of Cyclosa spider builds a decoy of itself out of dead insects. Octopi sometimes form a midden a pile of bones and debris to disguise the entrance to their lair.

And then there's the bone-house wasp Deuteragenia ossarium , discovered in to line their nests with an outer vestibular cell filled with dead ants -- presumably to protect their young with chemical cues emanating from its victims.

And so the Creeper decorates its lair with its kills -- perhaps to scare or confuse invading humans, perhaps just because these surroundings comfort it. The Creeper is often overlooked as a monstrous specimen, in part because it hibernates for 23 years at a time, waking only to feed and redecorate for a mere day Spring waking cycle.

This is nothing compared to the possible million-year hibernation periods of certain Arctic bacteria, but far beyond any hibernation period of higher terrestrial organisms. While Earth life hibernates in survive inhospitable seasons, the Creeper hibernates in order to leapfrog through time -- perhaps awaiting the future arrival by more of its kind.

Perhaps they're out there now, drifting through the cosmos in year periods of slumber, their membranous wings spread in order to ride the propulsion of solar radiation -- a sort of organic solar sail space craft. Monster of the Week is a - you guessed it - regular look at the denizens is of our monster-haunted world. Sometimes we'll focus on the cultural aspects, but mostly we'll look at the possible science behind a creature of myth, movie or legend.

So disappointed with it. Could be something relating to Frankensteins monster and the family he keeps tormenting has something to so with it. So if we are rooting around the Pennywise angle I feel like if they are the same creature they learned how to hunt prey in different ways. Where one came to earth and found children to be easy, more excitable prey, the other hunted in a wide range looking for more specific prey to feed on. The creeper has a more refined palate where Pennywise loves children like that one guy from that t.
