It is a horrific and malevolent cosmic entity that is billions of years old, spawned in the void of the Macroverse, which is also otherwise known as the Todash Darkness. An unknown number of centuries or even millennia ago, It came to planet Earth to feed. It lives in the sewers of the New England town Derry, awakening every twenty-seven years to feed, manipulating its prey’s fears in order to make them easier to hunt. It prefers to hunt and devour children, as their fears are much more easier to manipulate than adults. This twisted extra-dimensional entity had a form a human could only comprehend as a giant spider, but It would almost always disguise Itself as a clown named "Pennywise the Dancing Clown" to attract children.
