Line 6:
A cyclops character is more relatable than this kind of being, since cyclopes have a recognizable facial structure, with at least a mouth. These examples are far beyond the edges of the [[Uncanny Valley|Uncanny Continent]]. It is also interesting to note that the representations of many [[AI Is a Crapshoot|insane AIs]] use this trope - most likely to underscore their creepiness.
Of course, being long past the [[Uncanny Valley]] already, these examples often also involve [[Technicolor Eyes]], [[Hellish Pupils]], and [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]. Contrast [[The Blank]] and [[Eyeless Face]]. See also [[Oculothorax]] for monsters whose body is primarily an eyeball. Since they are mostly an eye, they tend to be evil.
