The organisms began began with the deposition of eggs or larvae within a host by a tentacle within the Upside Down. The slug-like larvae would later be vomited up by the host and subsequently escape into the wild. After this, the larvae underwent a period of rapid metamorphosis where moulting through each phase of their development until emerging as an adult. The process was shown to takes place over the span of a week for the newborn to reach adulthood.
The creatures were shown to possess six different stages to their life cycle:
- Stage One: Slug :
- Stage Two: Pollywog :
- Stage Three: Frogogorgon :
- Stage Four: Catogorgon :
- Stage Fix: Demodog :
- Stage Six: Demogorgon :
