Freddy Krueger | Creature Statblock

Next up on the horror icon list is Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street!

Freddy Krueger is a serial killer and the main antagonist of the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series. A family man on the surface, Krueger was actually the serial killer known as the "Springwood Slasher". When he was caught and subsequently released on a technicality, the parents of his victims tracked him to the Boiler Room of the Power Plant he once worked at and burned him alive.

Three Dream Demons offered Krueger the chance to continue after his physical death, with the ability enter his victims' dreams and kill them in the Dream World, which would thus cause their death in the physical world and absorb their souls afterward.
