Oculothorax: Difference between revisions

* One of ''Demon Detective Neuro's'' 777 Tools of Hell is Evil Friday, a swarm of little eyeballs with legs that he can see through. While most commonly used for research, reconnaissance, and tracking, they're shown to have lives and personalities of their own, and one memorable aside shows that they enjoy participating in racing. Why Evil Friday? [[Word Salad Title|Who knows?]]

* In the ''[[Tokko]]'' manga, Kureha keeps a little pet phantom in her jacket pocket that is basically just an eyeball with legs.

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

** A post 2000 pre 2010 ''[[X-Men]]'' comic book introduced us to a disciple / cousin of Shuma-Gorath which is a six tentacled, starfish-like form with ''many'' eyes. They have a fight. [[They Might Be Giants|Triangle wins.]]

* Similarly, Starro, a [[Justice League of America]] foe, is a starfish with one big eye in the middle {{spoiler|or at least, post-retcon, his drones are}}.

 

== Film ==

* One of the monsters in ''Voyage Into Space'' was a giant floating eyeball.

* The [[Mad Scientist]] in ''[[Freaked]]'' had, as his trusty lieutenants, a pair of Rastafarian, machine gun-using eyeballs the height of a normal person. The inherent flaw of such a guardian became apparent when the hero discovers how well [[A Handful for an Eye]] works on someone who is all eye.

 

== Literature ==

* ''[[Discworld/The Colour of Magic|Discworld]]'' has Bel-Shamharoth, the fact that he has the giant eye [[Blinding Camera Flash|bites him on the tentacled butt.]]

 

* Early ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' monster Eye Guy is built entirely out of eyeballs. His "Core" form is a single Eyeball floating in the air, making him this.

* The Atraxi in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' "The Eleventh Hour" is nothing except a giant eye. Check it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAWr0Hajo3k out].

* Beljoxa's Eye in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' is a...thing made of several eyes.

* ''[[Pee-wee's Playhouse]]'' once hosted Roger the Monster, a big eye with a mouth underneath, all attached to a foot-like body. Although friendly, it made few appearances, probably due to the prop's cumbersome nature.

 

== Tabletop Games ==

** Eyewing: A creature of the Abyss with bat wings and an 8 foot long rat's tail. Has a 4 foot wide eye that weeps an [[Poison Is Corrosive|acidic, poisonous]] blue liquid. The liquid forms into a 1 foot diameter sphere when the Eyewing drops it on its target below.

* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' has the [http://magiccards.info/ts/en/107.html Evil Eye of Urborg]. The [http://magiccards.info/tsts/en/42.html Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore] appears to be related, but the artwork is zoomed in too closely to see its full body.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Monoeyes from the ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' series are [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|exactly what they say on the tin.]]

* A common enemy in the ''[[Castlevania]]'' series are "flying eyes".

 

== [[Western Animation]] ==

** Another example from the original ''[[Jonny Quest]]'': The title creature in "The Invisible Monster".

* In ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'', Doctor Venture builds a robot that's almost identical to the Robot Spy as one of the series' many [[Shout-Out]]s to ''[[Jonny Quest]]''. {{spoiler|1=It is later used as a new body for H.E.L.P.eR}}.

* From ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'': Mike Wazowski, who is mostly a giant eyeball, with a small mouth and spindly arms and legs.

* The Eye from ''[[12 oz. Mouse]]'' is a giant eye with legs and a mouth. Other characters comment on how gross he is.
