Eyes Do Not Belong There



"''"I know a girl who's got eyes on her feet ''So when she starts dreaming she roams And she'll know where she's going""

- The Cat Empire, "So Long"

Eyes in places where they just don't belong are a good way to creep people out. The palms of your hands are a particularly frequent place to put them, but they can be anywhere on the body.

Anime and Manga

 * Bleach
 * The Espada Zommari Leroux's released form has FIFTY eyes all over his body.
 * One of 's many forms after fusing with the has his regular eyes move onto his wings.
 * The hollow Ayon is created when the Arrancars Appaci, Mila Rose and Sung-Sun combine their left arms. He can form an eye anywhere on his head, such as to look as things behind him.
 * In the manga Parasyte, the parasites can, as part of their total transformation skills, create eyes on any part of their body (that is, the actual parasite flesh—they can't do it with the human body they've taken over). While parasites normally replace the head of their host, main character Shinichi and supporting character Uda have parasites in their right hand and neck/upper chest respectively. Shinichi's parasite, Migi, is particularly fond of putting out long tentacle-like stalks with eyes on the end to look at things Shinichi can't see.
 * In End of Evangelion, Lilith/Rei gets a third eye technically on her forehead. This in and of itself isn't that odd. What makes it qualify for this trope is that it's also in the middle of a giant vagina. For that matter, Gendo Ikari ends up with a third eye in his hand, where the embryonic Adam has been grafted in place; in the manga version, Gendo has actually swallowed Adam, and it manifests as a large eye in the middle of his left hand.
 * In Hell Teacher Nube, a beautiful yet kleptomaniac Lonely Rich Kid named Ai Shinozaki suddenly starts growing an additional eye on the back of her hand whenever she steals something, because even if no one sees her steal, her heart does, and now everyone will know she's a thief. Poor Ai tries stabbing it out (to no small amount of pain, and not to mention she's a violinist) but it doesn't just keep growing back, it brings friends all over her body. She seeks Nube's aid, and he warns of someone who became nothing but a giant mess of eyes and flesh; she almost suffers the same fate until her only friend Makoto's affection redeems her (the eyes would disappear as soon as the culprit confessed their actions out of their own will; once Ai told Makoto that she was a thief, they were gone).
 * After a major Power-Up, Naraku from Inuyasha aquires eyes on the back of his hands and in the middle of his chest.
 * Alucard from Hellsing has a tendency to sprout eyes whenever his powers are released - on his chest, or a floating wall of eyes in the room.
 * Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho turned green and gained eyes all over his body and arms when he transformed to kick Yusuke's ass.
 * Also,.
 * Played with in Pani Poni Dash!: Rebecca was annoying everyone beyond the breaking point, and being 11, is easily frightened. Rei goes up to her and opens her hand to reveal an eye (sticker), scaring her to go hide behind a curtain.
 * Played for laughs in a chapter/episode of Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei, where the eponymous sensei must avoid eye-contact to avoid an Arranged Marriage; his butler thwarts his plans by bringing in a guy who is entirely covered (or made) of eyeballs.
 * Nico Robin from One Piece, thanks to her devil fruit, can make any part of her body "pop" anywhere like a flower. This includes, on at least one occasion, making eyes appear on her arms and hands. Or on the walls... or the ceiling... or the floor... or her opponents...
 * In Naruto, we have a disturbing example with
 * Several of the Homunculi from Fullmetal Alchemist qualify for this. The manga version of Envy turns into a monster-thing with screaming faces randomly scattered across its body. Pride has And he's based on
 * So he/they are
 * Soul Eater: The Big Bad Kishin uses this as a motif. His face has three eyes, and his bangs are shaded in such a way as to look like eyes as well. Even his pupils double back and look like another set of eyes.
 * The set of three eyes turn up on people who are either hallucinating due to proximity to Asura, or are in someway associated with madness (see 's Madness/Evil Makeover).
 * Maximillion Pegasus of Yu-Gi-Oh!! uses a certain monster in his final duel with Yugi, a part of which is the Thousand-Eyes Idol. The monster itself is a more grotesque form, the Thousand-Eyes Restrict, whose eyes cover a majority of its body.
 * Yubel's final form in GX has eyes and faces everywhere.
 * Duskmon from Digimon Frontier has a number of extra eyes all over his body. And one of his attacks is to fire lasers from them.
 * Runa from Fairy Navigator Runa has one on the back of her neck.
 * Because D.Gray-man is apparently trying to set a record with the "Most types of Nightmare Fuel in a series" they've recently introduced the Noah "Fiddler,"
 * Many of the demonic once-human apostles in Berserk but special mention goes to the "Idea of Evil", the God of Evil responsible for the world being such a cesspool of crap and suffering. It basically looks like a colossal misshapen heart with its valves spewing out webs of causality to manipulate humanity's fate and lined on all sides with countless eyes upon closer inspection.

Comic Books

 * There was once a minor DC villain called the Ten-Eyed Man. His only power was having an eye on each of his fingers (he was blinded, so his optic nerves were 'rerouted' to his hands.) Hilariously, the story tried to play this straight as a real threat, with police officers noting "He could easily escape from jail if we didn't constantly keep his hands in a dark box!" The concept has recently been reincarnated by an author who was a fan of the original character; now, however, it is an entire group of "Ten-Eyed Men" with actual mystical powers. The freaky eyes seem to grant them supernatural sight (and are magic tattoos instead of actual eyeballs). Batman encountered them in 52.
 * Amusingly, the Ten-Eyed Man never overcame the reflex to shield his face with his hands. He was defeated when someone threw a cactus at his head.
 * It didn't even take something really pointy like a cactus. Getting him to grab things was the standard means of defeating him.
 * Nineyes from Float (by Yi.magination) has, as her name indicates, nine eyes spread out over her body (head, hands, feet, belly button...) Unlike most other examples here, they are tasteful rather than horrifying; they can only be seen by people with advanced karma, and represents various virtues. Yes, she have eyes on her feet and make it look good.
 * Argos (mentioned below in Mythology) makes a brief appearance working for his old boss Hera in The Incredible Hercules.

Film
"Gomez: He has my father's eyes! Morticia: Gomez, take those out of his mouth."
 * As pictured above, the Pale Man, from Pan's Labyrinth. Eeee.
 * In Hellboy II, the Angel of Death had eyes all over its wings... but none on its face. Creepifying. From the same director as the above Pan's Labyrinth, and, in fact, the same actor. This is clearly based on Azrael, the Angel of Death from Islamic legend. He has an eye on his wings for every living thing, which close as they die. Way cooler than that pansy knitting stuff.
 * In Beetlejuice, the ghostly couple deform their faces to look scarier; he ends up with eyes on his fingertips, she with eyes in her mouth.
 * As depicted (with unintentionally hilarious results) in the 1986 film Gothic, the poet Percy Shelley had recurring nightmares about a woman with eyes where her nipples should be.
 * An old Saturday Night Live skit had this. The women were aliens who had evolved that way so that the males of their species would look them in the eye while talking to them. In this case it was deliberately played for humor, of course.
 * Of course like many Saturday Night Live sketches, it was an amusing concept that almost entirely failed to be an amusing skit.
 * An older Charles Addams cartoon used this as a gag. It was funny. And appalling.
 * Tim Powers' The Stress of Her Regard plays with this also, making Shelley's alleged "nightmares" into Polidori's interpretation of something Percy'd yelled in a foreign language, that only sounded like "eyes in her breasts" when mistaken for English.
 * In the 1959 horror film The Manster, an eyeball growing on a character's shoulder is the first sign that something weird is happening to his body.
 * Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness includes a parody of this scene.
 * Topper Harley from Hot Shots! has his father's eyes. Literally. He keeps them in a little velvet case.
 * Addams Family Values:


 * In Labyrinth, there's a mossy plant covered with eyes that watches Jennifer Connelly. Don't blame it a bit.
 * Not like there was anything else to watch.
 * Although the Fireys' eyes are usually in the normal place, they function just fine on the ends of their owners' fingers, in their mouths, or just rolling on the ground.
 * In The Dark Crystal, Aughra is capable of removing her one eye and holding it out to see over ledges or around corners.
 * Mr. Potato Head did the same thing with his eyes in the first Toy Story.
 * One of the giant monsters in the Japanese comedy/drama Dai Nipponjin (released in America as Big Man Japan) has no head and carries a giant eye on its hands (though in this case, it represents a ).
 * In The Gate, an eye grows out of protagonist's hand. He stabs it.
 * One of the more watchable bits of the Doom movie is a scene where a soldier sees somebody's eyes opening in the darkness, and calls out assuming it's the scientist he's looking for. Then all of the figure's other eyes open, all over its head...
 * Played for laughs in Cars 2 Mater is a little freaked out by a Parisian car whose eyes are in her headlights instead of her windshield like every other car. (Somewhat understandable when you remember what the headlights stood in for briefly in the first movie...).
 * Big Trouble in Little China. Lo Pan's spherical spy monster has eyes on stalks, on its back, and even one in its mouth.

Literature

 * Percy Jackson and The Olympians has the minor character Argus, the camp security director, who is a monster with a hundred eyes all over his body. There is an Urban Legend among the campers that he never speaks because he has an eye on his tongue.
 * In one of Diane Duane's Young Wizards novels, the hero briefly encounters an alien who looks like a berry bush, except the berries are all eyes. A member of the same species later becomes a supporting character. Quite a nice guy, really, with a fondness for baseball caps.
 * The Doctor Who novel The Eyeless has an alien race which frequently takes "trophies" from the worlds it visits. It's not actually meant to be quite as grotesque as that word makes it sound, though it's pretty close; they're more ruthlessly logical than brutal; it's a cultural thing amongst them that when they encounter something new, the one who makes the discovery gets to keep a piece of that something... like a young girl's eyes, for example.
 * In the Stephen King short story I Am the Doorway (found in the collection Night Shift), a former astronaut develops eyes in his fingertips. Then things get much worse from there....
 * In Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn novel Malleus, they must infiltrate muties. One mutant woman, a many-armed prostitute, winks at them—with an eye on her tongue.
 * In Madeline L'Engle's A Wind in the Door, the "singular cherubim" Proginoskes is depicted as composed of nothing but eyes and wings, and the occasional jet of fire. Charles Wallace is apparently the only character who doesn't have a minor brain-BSOD upon first seeing him.
 * Amusingly (and probably intentionally), this isn't too far off The Bible's descriptions of angels, as mentioned below.
 * Wilbur Whateley in H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos novella The Dunwich Horror has two extra eyes on the sides of his pelvis, with a creepy organ for sucking blood in between them. Lovecraft called it a 'tail', but we all know what he meant...
 * The Bible describes some angels as having eyes on all sides of their bodies, making this Older Than Feudalism.
 * Among these angels are angelic beings who, while not named in the Bible, are sometimes referred to as Ophans or Ophanim. They make an appearance in the book of Ezekiel and are described as looking like beryl colored wheels within wheels with rims full of eyes.
 * Probably in reference to Argos (mythology, not catalogue), the Discworld god Blind Io is usually drawn with an Eyeless Face but surrounded by a cloud of floating Faceless Eyes.
 * That's how he's described in the books. It's said in one of them (I believe Small Gods) that he doesn't like ravens because they keep trying to eat his floating eyes.
 * Emily Eyefinger is a series of children's books about a girl who is born with an eye on the end of her finger.
 * In R.A. Salvatore's novel Siege of Darkness a misfiring teleportation spell results in only the casting wizard's eyes arriving at their destination. This is played mostly for slightly squicky humor—the wizard can still see with them and make himself heard at their location, they're just not in the same place as the rest of his body. The same thing is mentioned in one of the Harry Potter books, where it's referred to as being "splinched". It's apparently painful and inconvenient, but not permanently harmful. When treated and fixed properly. Ron's splinching in Deathly Hallows was definitely not funny.
 * The short story Tonsil Eye 'Tis by Paul Jennings involves a boy growing an eye on one finger as a result of a garden gnome-related accident.
 * A guard in the first book of The Bartimaeus Trilogy is described as having one of his eyes positioned so that it would be difficult to sneak up on him from behind, while he was touching his toes.
 * One of the many weird adaptations of Henders Island creatures in Fragment is an extra set of eyes near the middle of the back.
 * In the short story "The Muse" by Anthony Burgess, an astronaut literary scholar imagines he sees extra eyes in weird places on the inhabitants of another planet. The people actually look entirely human.
 * In Paul and Hollace Davids' series of Star Wars novels, Emperor Palpatine's long-sought-after heir is reputed to have a third eye. A pretender to the throne appears, who has an extra eye on his forehead and feigns Force sensitivity.
 * In the novel The Dark Half by Stephen King, surgery reveals an eyeball inside the protagonist's brain. It's a remnant of his identical twin, who was absorbed in utero.
 * H.P. Lovecraft short story "At the Mountains of Madness". The shoggoths are a huge mass of protoplasm with eyes that temporarily form and disappear all over its body.

Live Action TV

 * In The Outer Limits revival episode "The New Breed", a man whose body is being involuntarily upgraded by injected Nanomachines finds that the source of the sudden pain on the back of his head is a new pair of eyes.
 * An old episode of The Twilight Zone had an otherwise Human Alien who covered his third eye to pass as an Earthling for sinister purposes. (It's on his forehead, in the original short story it was on the back of his head and normally covered by hair.)
 * The Dick Van Dyke Show has a dream sequence episode where Laura Petrie had eyes in the back of her head, much to Rob's horror.
 * Angel has something very similar with the victims of the Skilosh demons, who got an extra eye in the back of the head.
 * Eye Guy, one of the monsters of the week in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a creature which was completely made out of eyes.
 * Retinax, from Power Rangers Wild Force has eyes all over his body, even inside his main eye!
 * His fellow general Mandilok has what appears to be a glowing red eye in his mouth.

Music Videos

 * Madonna's video for Bedtime Story ends with a shot of her singing, but her face has two mouths where her eyes should be, and one eye in the place of her mouth. When she closes her eye, the positioning of it makes it look like a bizarre mouth.

Mythology

 * Argos, or Argus Panoptes, of Greek myth, had eyes all over his body, and he kept a constant watch by sleeping only some of them at a time. He was pretty Badass too. Argos was the one who slew Echidna, the mother of all monsters.
 * Dungeons and Dragons has Argos as a race of monsters with eyes all over their bodies.
 * Argos is also apparently the mythological origin of the peacock. After he was slain by Hermes (he pulled it off by putting all of his eyes to sleep at once before beheading him), Argos' master Hera took his eyes and put them on the feathers of a bird. Thus the peacock was born.
 * There's a Japanese Obake / youkai called a Shirime which has an Eyeless Face and a single giant eye...in its anus. Which it delights in showing off to passers-by by stretching its cheeks wide. Yes. The Japanese, in fact, have a Goatse monster. Oh, Japan.
 * Plenty of Hindu deities have eyes in the wrong places; most notably, a third eye in the forehead represents mystical sight and wisdom.
 * The Grey Sisters of Greek myth were three old hags that shared between them a single eye and a single tooth, making this an example of Faceless Eye and Eyeless Face. Perseus got information about Gorgons from them by stealing the eye and holding it hostage. After getting what he needed, he threw the eye into the cave so that the sisters would be too preoccupied "looking" for it to chase him down.
 * Metatron, the Face of God, is said to have a million eyes (and mouths) all over his body.
 * Several Angels and other celestial beings have strange number or placement of eyes, such as hundreds covering their wings.

Tabletop Games

 * In Dungeons & Dragons:
 * The otyugh has eyes on three tentacles that surround its gaping, toothy mouth.
 * Beholders have ten eyes growing from the top of them, plus a big one in front. Other Beholderkin have even weirder arrangements. One is essentially a slimy tree covered in eyes.
 * In the Cthulhu Mythos section of the original 1st Edition Deities and Demigods Cyclopedia, the shoggoth is shown as having multiple eyes all over its ameoba-like body.
 * Gibbering Mouthers are human-sized ameoba-like monsters covered with eyes and mouths.
 * One memorable piece of artwork for the Warhammer 40,000 Chaos god Slaanesh has an eye instead of a nipple on its exposed breast. The Forgeworld model for the Keeper of Secrets (a greater daemon of Slaanesh) has multiple breasts, several with eyes in place of nipples.
 * From Magic: The Gathering, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth has eyes peppered on its arms.
 * Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game).
 * In the main rules, shoogoths are noted as being covered with eyes.
 * Supplement The Asylum and Other Tales, adventure "The Asylum". The proto-shoggoth can create organs anywhere on its body whenever it likes. One example given was creating an eye in the palm of its hand.
 * Mutant Future. Yhe Eyedog has eyes all over its body. Some can see heat, some can see in ultraviolet, and others can give off light, radiation or energy blasts.

Toys

 * In Bionicle, Tren Krom has the ability to sprout an extra eye on his back. And it shoots laser beams.

Video Games
""She has eyes for nipples! Eyes for nipples!!!""
 * A rather famous bug in Super Smash Bros.. Melee shows that Daisy's trophy has a third eye on the back of her head, hidden behind her hair. Weird.
 * Super Mario 64 features a haunted house with floating eyeballs that shoot...eyeball goo at you. To kill them, you have to make them dizzy by running around. And yes, they are disgusting.
 * One of boss fights is against a pair of giant talking stone hands with eyes set in the palms.
 * A trip into hell in Devil May Cry normally includes eyes on the walls.
 * 3D Movie Maker had the same deal: One of the actresses had her whole face replicated on the back of her head behind her hair.
 * Wizeman from NiGHTS Into Dreams has eyes in his six floating hands and nowhere else.
 * When William Birkin injects himself with the G-Virus in Resident Evil 2, his first mutation is a gigantic eyeball growing out of his shoulder.
 * Curtis from Resident Evil: Degeneration gets a similar eye after he's injected with the G-Virus.
 * Osmund Saddler from Resident Evil 4, when he goes One-Winged Angel.
 * To be fair, those eyes were technically on his face; his face just happened to sprout legs and combat tentacles.
 * Even before that, he had an eye IN HIS MOUTH. Like, his lips were eyelids.
 * When Fadroh from Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean goes into One-Winged Angel mode, he has an eye in his crotch. Which shoots ludicrously-powerful laser beams.
 * Dark Samus/ in the Metroid Prime series has an eye on the back of its hand, for apparently no reason except to look scary as hell when it first appears. This actually makes some sense, because the manual for Metroid 2 says the Power Crystal that Samus has in the same place is a sensor. However, it's unknown if the makers of the Prime series knew that at the time.
 * To say nothing of Phantoon, a bulbous tentacled ghost creature with a large eyeball inside its mouth.
 * The Hecteyes (and similar) enemies in the Final Fantasy series are nothing but giant pulsating masses of flesh, entirely covered in eyes. Final Fantasy VII has Jenova, who in the words of the Internet:


 * Well, technically only one. The other is Barbie Doll Anatomy.
 * In Final Fantasy XII, the bestiary entry for the Hecteyes monsters explains that only one pair of its eyes actually function, and the others are there to throw off any foes that go for the eyes when attacking.
 * In the NES game Abadox, which takes place within a huge, organic Planet Eater, almost every interior surface has countless eyes. Especially the digestive tract.
 * In SoulCalibur II, in his shirtless costume, Nightmare's freaky claw-arm extends to his chest, complete with a red eye where his nipple would be.
 * The cursed sword Soul Edge has a single glaring eye somewhere, no matter what shape it takes.
 * Bar a few where it's impossible to place an eye where it wouldn't be held or use directly in common attacks, such as maxi's nunchucks and Tarra's ring of death (she spins it all around her to she holds on to all sides at one point). but generally it will sprout an eye when possible.
 * Yume Nikki: One of the powers Madotsuki can obtain turns her head into a hand with an eye on it.
 * More than that, eyes where they do not belong or no eyes where they do belong are a strong theme in Yume Nikki. In some areas it seems like everything has eyes but the place that should have them.
 * Ragna, the "main" character of BlazBlue, has a gauntlet/ with a red eye-like design on the back of the hand. The eye even opens widely when he uses his Blood Kain ability. Note that Robot Girl Nu-13 has a virtually identical eye-design that she wears as an eyepatch, one of many hints that the two characters are connected. The True Ending reveals that these "eyes" are
 * Tsubaki Yayoi is another example of this. When she equips the Izayoi in Continuum Shift she has an eyball on her hat, and eyeball on her book, and an eyeball on the handle of her sword. Ironically,
 * Hakumen has red eyes on his shoulders wrists, and shin.
 * World of Warcraft has the Icecrown Citadel bosses Rotface and his brother Festergut. There's another eye on the back of its head, though it's usually staring at the ceiling.

 * The Legend of Zelda Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda Four Swords Adventures, and The Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap: Vaati. The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass' Bellum, too.
 * Speaking of, the Go for the Eye trope is so prevalent in that series that the games tend to indicate arrow/slingshot targets with eyes. That means most enemies who are specifically weak to arrows have unnaturally large eyes somewhere on their bodies, and walls with projectile-based switches stare at you.
 * One of the creepier traits of Yukari Yakumo of the Touhou series is her penchant for making eyes appear in the gaps that she creates.
 * Utsuho Reiuji has a huge, glowing red eye on her chest.
 * Satori and Koishi Komeiji also have additional eyes. Those, however, are somewhat detached from them, being little probably floating orbs held on about four strings. In Satori's case, three of the strings are attached to her headband and sleeve ends respectively. Justified in that they're both satori, a type of three-eyed youkai.
 * LSD Dream Emulator sometimes gives areas textures that put eyes in the scenery, on the floor or in windows, for example.
 * ADOM has a Dorn Beast. Its exact looks are unknown, but it is grey and purple and black and grey and white and has sixty-three eyes. Well... its exact looks, seeing as ADOM is a roguelike, is a purple F. It can be safely assumed that some of the sixty-three eyes are not on the head, anyway.
 * The Dornbeast is a reference to the Zork games, and previously appeared in Sorcerer and Beyond Zork. In the latter, it's too powerful to fight until you immobilize it by.
 * there's also the "You Have Grown a Total of 12 Eyes" mutation
 * The angels in Bayonetta are revealed to be all about this once you crack through their marble skin.
 * One of the enemies in Okami consists of a wheel with a huge eye in the center. Even better though, the locks in the game consist of a single giant eye and mouth. You unlock them by driving the key right into the eye.
 * Don't forget one of the bosses, the Spider Queen (or "Prostitute Spider" in the original translation). It's scary enough her head is just an eyeless giant mouth complete with oversized mandibles, but her abdomen can open up like a flower bud which has 8 EYEBALLS for petals. Yikes.
 * Jirachi from Pokémon has an eye on its abdomen. Thankfully Jirachi is adorable and its eye is closed most of the time, so it manages to not be creepy.
 * Wobbuffet and Wynaut's eyes are on their tails. The Wobbuffet species in particular are extremely protective of them, and the pokedex implies that they hold 'a secret'. A popular theory is that the squinty eyes on their face aren't eyes at all.
 * Claydol has eyes all around its head, with a beak between each one of them.
 * The Architect from Dragon Age: Awakening is an unusual example. His eyes are in his face. . .but they're asymmetrically arranged very close together above his nose, with one tilted, in a way that's possibly more wrong than having them elsewhere on his body.
 * Peacock, from Video Game/Skullgirls, has six elongated eyes located prominently on her cybernetic arms. That's not counting the indefinite amount of free-floating eyes she can summon. And those Black Bead Eyes on her face? They're where her normal eyes used to be before they were gouged out.
 * The final boss of Kirby's Return to Dream Land doesn't reveal his mouth until, where you see that it's less a mouth and more a giant eyeball.
 * Peacock from Skullgirls looks like she has eyes in the normal places, but these are smaller versions of the portals she generates. She sees through the eys on her arms.

Web Comics

 * Coyote from Gunnerkrigg Court has an eye on his chest and one on each of his shoulders and thighs. They appear to be stylized eye designs, but in the last panel here, they are clearly turning to look at Antimony. He also has a slightly less conspicuous pair behind each of his ears.
 * He's also fond of juggling his eyeballs.
 * Roger Pepitone from CRFH mutated an eye in his hand, which is much less frequently referred to compared to the more useful mutations of his roomies.
 * Sgt. Schlock from Schlock Mercenary usually keeps his eyes above his mouth, but since he's an amorphous blob and they aren't actually part of his body, he can put them anywhere, such as on tentacles to look around corners. At one point, he had four eyes, and kept two in his mouth, to "watch what he ate!"
 * Drowtales had one or more extra eyes being standard for the heavily tainted once their seed starts taking them over, as demonstrated by Kes'sen, or a scar where a third eye should be for one character - but gains an eye on someone else's tongue as part of a massive random fusion of demon-tainted bodies. And it's implied there's more where that came from hidden in the shadows.
 * Parodied in the last panel of this VgCats strip on Spore.
 * DMFA has Cindy, who was born with an eye on the palm of her hand as a result of excessive exposure to magic. Other than that she's perfectly normal.
 * In WolfPearl's comic Wurr, Iralbe the hell hound has two eyes set into his tongue, which open when he pants and close when he retracts his tongue. His empty eye sockets are covered in heat-sensing pits instead.
 * Homestuck gives us the Ugly Cute Vodka Mutini, a mutant kitten with four eyes.

Web Original

 * Carmilla from the Whateley Universe. She's the child of Gothmog and often has eyes on stalks in horrible places. One time she grabbed Shadowwolf and her face split. Down the middle. Inside were more tentacles, with eyes on stalks. And other Body Horror tropes. Shadowwolf screamed and wet himself.
 * In Ruby Quest, Ruby enters a dark room to speak with Subject Six. At first he doesn't seem to have any eyes at all; but as Ruby speaks to him, more and more luminous eyeballs begin opening in the darkness around her. Then Tom turns on the lights...
 * The Lickitung in this Pokémon Nightmare Fuel drawing.
 * Weapon Brown: Similar to the Shelley thing, Mistress Van Pelt has some interesting ideas for C.A.L.v1N.
 * Zalgo mutations, although the ones on the face liquify into Bloody Tears.

Western Animation
"Master Shake: Wait a minute. Before you turn him on...do you think he'll be able to see us? Frylock: In ways you can only imagine. Master Shake: But look, I mean...is he going to be able to chase us? 'Cause if I woke up lookin' like that, I would just run towards the nearest living thing and kill it."
 * One of Ben 10's many transformations is Eye Guy, a Captain Ersatz of Cyclops from X-Men in powers. Eyes cover nearly every inch of his body except his head.
 * Krumm in AAAHH!!! Real Monsters carried his eyes around in his hands. His father did the same thing, but after one of his eyes was fired out of a rifle in the Revolutionary War, he started wearing a black glove on that hand. This was generally played for laughs, such as the episode where he lodges them into a mummy, then can't get them out before they have to retreat.
 * An episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force has Carl being sucked into a jet powered toilet. Frylock makes several attempts to construct a new body for Carl, including one made entirely of eyes from a website specializing in medical waste.


 * In an episode of Transformers Animated Prowl and Bumblebee get infected by space barnacles. They end up with eyes in quite a few places, but Prowl has one distinctly on his hand.
 * Taken Up to Eleven in Transformers Prime with and an eye inside his spark chamber.
 * Peek-A-Blue from She Ra Princess of Power gets Psychic Powers by the eyes on her peacock tail.
 * In the Netflix reboot of the series, Horde Prime is unusual even for this Trope. He has four eyes, two of them the size and locations of typical eyes, and the other two smaller and placed above and below the right eye.
 * Ten-Eyed Man and Mutant Master in Batman the Brave And The Bold.
 * Xavier: Renegade Angel: Along with being a bizarre humanoid with brown hair, mouth beak, six nipples, backwards legs, and a snake hand, Xavier also has a giant eye placed in the middle of his crotch which he calls his "pen-eye"
 * Piniet, the villain from The Owl House episode "Senses and Insensitivity", is a lizard-like humanoid with three eyes. His third eye - between two in the "regular" places - is usually kept shut, but opening it gives him Super Speed Reading powers.
 * Played for laughs in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends with one-shot chatacter Ivan, who has dozens of eyes, seeing as he's a blind child's "seeing eye friend".

Real Life

 * In the course of evolution eyes have apparently evolved multiple times, and sometimes in not-exactly-expected places. Box jellyfish have four sets of eyes on four sides of their body.
 * Many insects have five eyes: two compound ones and three simple ones called ocelli.
 * Spiders have six or, more often, eight eyes for 360 degree field of view.
 * Jumping spiders have eight eyes: six smaller eyes for 360 degree view and a pair of huge anterior median eyes for high-magnification view of their potential prey, much like the field binoculars. The front sides of those eyes cannot move, but the retinas can.
 * Barn owls, by the way, can't really move their eyes, either. Indeed, barn owl eyes are so big that if they were spherical they would have overlapped; it remains an open question whether some shoujo characters show the same evolutionary adaptation.
 * Crayfish have an extra eye on their tails (that one does not form images though, but responds vigorously to a passing shadow).
 * Tuatara has a third, parietal eye (lens, retina, and all) at the top of its head.
 * Scallops have tiny eyes all over the edge of the mantle.
 * The critter that takes the cake is Ophiocoma wendtii, a kind of a brittle star. The upper side of its whole damn body is covered with refracting crystals and interconnected photoreceptors, forming one huge eye. Think about it for a moment.
 * Not a straight example, but many animals (especially insects) have false eyes used to startle enemies or fool them into attacking the wrong body part.
 * Non-creepy, non-squicky version: Peacocks.
 * Those are merely coloration, they are not eyes.
 * Flounders are born with normally placed eyes, but as the fish mature, one eye moves to the other side of the head, making them look not unlike a Picasso painting.
 * The aptly-named four-eyed fish, adapted to spot food right at the water's surface, has protruding eyeballs that are divided horizontally, giving it an upper set of pupils that see in air and a lower pair that see underwater. That's right: it's got its extra eyes in its eyes.
 * Genetic experiments on Drosophilia have produced flies with up to sixteen functional eyes on various parts of their bodies.
 * A mutant toad was found in Hamilton, Ontario that had functional eyes inside its mouth.
 * It's been theorized that some labyrinthodonts (ancient amphibians) had the ability to rotate their eyeballs to look out the roof of the mouth, letting them directly watch for prey swimming past or into their jaws.
 * There's a case of a woman who was completely blind in her eyes but was able to see through a patch of specialized cells on her chin.
 * Wouldn't it hurt to get food on that? -
