Cenobitic (or coenobitic) monasticism is a monastic tradition that stresses community life. Often in the West, the community belongs to a religious order and the life of the cenobitic monk is regulated by a religious rule, a collection of precepts. The older style of monasticism, to live as a hermit, is called eremitic; and a third form of monasticism, found primarily in the East, is the skete.
The English words "cenobite" and "cenobitic" are derived, via Latin, from the Greek words koinos (κοινός), "common", and bios (βίος), "life". The adjective can also be cenobiac (κοινοβιακός, koinobiakos). A group of monks living in community is often referred to as a "cenobium".
Cenobitic monasticism exists in various religions, though Buddhist and Christian cenobitic monasticism are the most prominent.
Origins
The word Cenobites was initially applied to the followers of Pythagoras in Crotona, Italy, who founded a commune not just for philosophical study, but also for "amicable sharing of worldly goods."
The Cenobites are extradimensional beings who appear in the works of Clive Barker, including the novella The Hellbound Heart and the nine Hellraiser films. They are also mentioned, in passing, in the novel Weaveworld, in which they are referred to as “The Surgeons.”
The Cenobites vary in number, appearance, and motivations depending on the medium (film, comic book, etc.) in which they appear. The involvement of multiple parties in the production of Hellraiser films and comics (many eschewing the creative supervision of Clive Barker) has led to varying levels of consistency regarding the canonical aspects of their philosophies and abilities. The only constants are that they take the form of ritually mutilated people with varying degrees of human characteristics, and that they can only reach Earth's reality through a schism in time and space, which is opened and closed using an innocuous-looking puzzle box called the Lament Configuration.
Etymology
The term cenobite is a word meaning "a member of a communal religious order"; The Hellbound Heart specifies that they are members of The Order of the Gash. The text also refers to them as Hierophants.

A bit of a clip from Hellbound: Hellraiser 2, where the transformed Dr. Channard shows off a bunch of his special effects to take out Pinhead and his gash.
This is a controversial scene amongst Hellraiser fans, since they don't like Pinhead and friends being killed by the newbie, but I'll leave it up to you to judge.

What Is A Cenobite, How To Create A Cenobite, And How To Kill A Cenobite - Hellraiser Lore Explored
Clive Barker wrote the novella “The Hellbound Heart” as a first step towards directing a film.
The monsters he created in his piece of work were not just novel but also thrilled the readers. His
extradimensional Cenobites were later translated into a series of ten films and numerous comics,
each showcasing newer and more insane Cenobites than the previous. While Marvelous
Videos has made several videos about the different types of Cenobites from movies and beyond
them, we thought in this video, we will explore what exactly these extradimensional demons are,
how did they come into existence, and what are the various ways that one can kill a Cenobite.
Although, you have to bear in mind that what’s dead may never die.

What Are Cenobites And Lament Configuration? Origin Cenobites And Puzzle Box In Hellraiser Explained
We have all loved and admired the fascinating Hellraiser franchise. But how little do we know about the backstories that shaped this Clive Barker classic? The hellish world in the Hellraiser movies has a bloody history that is hundreds of years old, and there is more to it than you can imagine! There have been other cinematic depictions of Hell, and many of them have been quite successful and vivid. However, what we see in Hellraiser is the most unique of them all: a massive labyrinth where the mighty Leviathan resides.
We have feared the Cenobites and Pinhead, but they are merely servants of Leviathan, who is more like the Hellraiser version of Satan. It is this entity that turns people into Cenobites in the first place and Hell is simply full of those unfortunate souls. And at the center...
