Contrast [[Eyeless Face]], where it's the ''lack'' of eyes that's freaky, or [[Cyclops]], for a creature with a single eye. A [[Sister Trope]] to [[Eyes Do Not Belong There]], as the extra eyes have to go somewhere, and not always the usual places. Supertrope to [[Third Eye]].

* ''[[MAR]]'''s Chimera has multiple eyes hidden under her [[Peek-a-Bangs]].
* Some aliens in ''[[Space Adventure Cobra]]'' are four-eyed humanoids. Most notably Dan Brad in the "Rugball" story arc, the captain of the rival team. He proves to be a [[Worthy Opponent]] in the end.
* In [[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu|Hare+Guu]], [[media:Guu-
* In ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', all of the Digimon Gods/Sovereigns have four eyes. Xuanwumon/[[Dub Name Change|Ebonwumon]] pulls this off by having [[Multiple Head Case|two heads]]. There's also Beelzebumon from that season (and from ''[[Digimon Xros Wars|Xros Wars]]''), who has three eyes. ''[[Digimon Frontier]]'' introduces us to Duskmon, the {{spoiler|corrupted}} Human Spirit of Darkness, who has ''nine'' eyes (only two are on his face), and Sefirotmon/[[Dub Name Change|Sakkakumon]], who is basically ''[[Nightmare Fuel|made of eyes]]''.

** The barrel-shaped Elder Things in the story ''At the Mountains of Madness'' has 5 eyes on stalks.
** Yog-Sothoth is sometimes depicted as having many eyes on stalks.
*** When depicted at all, he's normally described as a cluster of iridescent globes akin to soap-bubbles, except several miles wide. His half-human sons did have several,
*** [[The Unspeakable Vault of Doom|Don't call me soap! *ZAP!*]]
* [[Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser|Nigauble of the Seven Eyes]] had seven (okay, sometimes only six) glowing eyes.
Line 111:
** All [[Mutants]] in ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' have potential to grow eyes or [[Eyeless Face|lose eyes]], especially [[Body Horror|Chaos Spawn]].
*** Of particular note are the Navis Nobilite, who are a sanctioned noble caste of stable mutants whose forehead-mounted third eye allows them to see, understand and navigate (well duh) [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place|the Warp]]. Its other properties are unclear, but it's been stated by at least one author that looking into it will send normal men mad.
