Cenobite

Cenobites (also known as the Order of the Gash) are demons who appear in the Hellraiser movies, as well as the two Clive Barker novels The Hellbound Heart (which the first Hellraiser movie is based on) and The Scarlet Gospels. They appear after the Lament Configuration is solved by an unfortunate victim. When they appear, they rip the individual's flesh apart with hooked chains. Sometimes a victim of the puzzle box is turned into a cenobite as well.

Appearance[]

The Cenobites appear as robed beings that are heavily mutilated, the cenobites do in fact feel the pain upon them, however, it feels good to them. They reside in a Hellish labyrinth under the order of the God Leviathan.
