This shape-shifting entity, referred to as a Glamour, boasts a history spanning billions of years. Although It dwells on Earth for extended periods, its origin lies in a dimension beyond the known reaches of space, known as the Macroverse.
Given its elusive nature due to shape-shifting abilities and its interdimensional origins, IT's true name and species are known as Deadlights, but this knowledge remains obscure, leading to its more common reference as IT.
In a form resembling a female spider, It is believed to represent its true physical manifestation on Earth, residing deep beneath the fictional town of Derry.
Tim Curry portrayed Pennywise in the 1990 'IT' TV miniseries, while Bill Skarsgard took on the role in the 2017 and 2019 film adaptations.
