Bound to the creek's deepest channels centuries ago by forgotten rituals, this hellspawn remained dormant until upstream construction shattered the ancient wards containing it. Now it transforms the waterway's natural channels into dimensional rifts, allowing creatures from multiple realms to emerge through the fog-shrouded creek system.

The Channel Demon exists partially in multiple dimensions simultaneously, able to flow through water channels like liquid shadow and corrupt natural waterways into supernatural conduits. Its presence causes water to steam with sulfurous vapor and transforms ordinary morning mist into dense supernatural fog that serves as a barrier between dimensions. The entity feeds on dimensional instability, growing stronger as more creatures use its channel network to enter our realm.

It serves as the primary facilitator of the creature emergence, opening and maintaining the dimensional pathways that allow aquatic horrors to manifest in increasing numbers throughout the season. The demon's growing power directly correlates with fog density and creature activity levels.
