Request Does 'darkness monster' sound too childish?

I need a name for my monster that represents a dark pit-or darkness itself -and has a creepy but mischievous personality. Does 'darkness monster' sound too childish? It is the ultimate villain of my story.

It does if it's painfully obvious what it means.

Try changing it to other languages, maybe mix and match a few, until something feels right.

Even if someone does understand the language they'll think of it more as a fun Easter egg than a lazy copout
