'The Vampire Diaries' Season 8: Who is the Mystery Creature?

We have a long way to go until we get answers about The Vampire Diaries‘ villain for season eight, but this may hold you over for a bit!

Executive producer Julie Plec recently opened up about what took down Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Enzo (Michael Malarkey) in the season finale.

“We are not calling it anything, we are waiting for Season 8,” Julie told Yahoo TV. “I mean, internally, we’re calling it something, but we’re not telling people what that is yet. It’s funny, this is the first time we’ve done this little story trick where we’re actually withholding the identity and mythology of the new villain from the audience before the next season. What could it be that’s been around for thousands of years? We didn’t see it, but it has some creepy ass monster hands, and it has the ability to get inside your heard and strip away everything good about you. There’s a nice mystery taking us into next season about what exactly this creature is.”

Julie added, “Bonnie (Kat Graham), out of everybody, is the one who’s going to be just paralyzed by this struggle. She has two men in her life – Damon, who’s a platonic, but also deep, soulful best friend, and Enzo, who has really become her one true love – and she lost both of them in one fell swoop. In addition to that, she also lost her magic. She’s starting at an absolute deficit in terms of being able to fix this problem. That’s going to have a great impact on her.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK will happen next season of TVD?
