"Demons to some, Angels to others."
In the 'Hellraiser' world Cenobites are other worldly beings that appear in the movies and books by Clive Barker. They have a mutilated appearance and thrive on pain and suffering.

In the religious sense, a cenobite is a group of monks living amongst a community.

Do monks and nuns leave their homes?

A monk or a nun is a cenobite. By definition, a cenobite is a member of a religious community, in the Benedictine tradition they must take three vows of Stability, conversatio morum, and Obedience; actually they are not three different vows, but three different ways of looking at the monastic life, see link below. Stability means that they are bound to that monastery (where they make their vows) for their entire earthly life. Do they leave their homes? Well, yes, they leave the home that they grow up in and choose the monastery as their permanent home. Traditionally an enclosed Cenobite never leaves the grounds, although there have always been exceptions, for instance, to go to the doctor's office or a hospital. Currently, modern Benedictine monks and nuns often will have jobs outside of their monastery, perhaps on an extended leave type of arrangement, but they always return to their monastery.
