How It Works

~Will most likely go after children, childlike people, or those scared shitless by the book and/or movie.

~Will go after adults if It needs to, but It probably won't. Adult fears are much more complex than simple child fears, and more difficult to recreate.

~It might decide to use you for Its own purposes. It will PM you for permission first, however.

~It is your worst nightmare. It would appreciate if you'd tell It what you feared if (when) It goes after you.

~Adults will most likely not see Its work, unless It is using them or they are the ones being tormented.

~You all float. No exceptions.

~It can be hurt, if Its current physical body can be harmed by something.

~It comes and goes on a regular basis. It has a cycle. Feed and then sleep.

~It is sort of like Freddy Krueger, except It doesn't need to wait for you to fall asleep. It can strike any time It wants.
 

About It

It apparently originated in a void containing and surrounding the Universe, a place referred to in the novel as the "Macroverse". Its real name (if, indeed, It has one) is unknown—although at several points in the novel, It claims its true name to be Robert Gray—and is christened It by the group of children who later confront it. Likewise, Its true form is never truly comprehended. Its final form in the physical realm is that of an enormous spider, but even this is only the closest the human mind can get to approximating Its actual physical form. Its natural form exists in a realm beyond the physical, which It calls the "deadlights." The deadlights are never seen, and Its true form outside the physical realm is never revealed, only described as writhing, destroying orange lights. Coming face to face with the deadlights drives any living being instantly insane. The only known person to face the deadlights and survive is Audra Phillips.

Its natural enemy is "The Turtle," another ancient Macroverse dweller who, eons ago, created our Universe and possibly others. The Turtle shows up again in King's series The Dark Tower. The book suggests that It, along with the Turtle, are themselves creations of a separate, omnipotent creator referred to as "the Other". The Turtle and It are eternal enemies. It arrived in our world in a massive, cataclysmic event similar to an asteroid impact, in the place that would, in time, become Derry, Maine.
