Everyone buzzes about eye colors; they look good and they can be used to determine how a character might act like, but what about the rest of the eye? That's where this trope comes in, where characters can have vastly different pupil shapes and/or sclera colors, with the optional, but corresponding eye shadow. The reasons could vary from just being added level of exoticism, to a condition (sickness or otherwise), a reaction to something, or a way to identify that you're not entirely human. The iris' inclusion only counts if they ''intentionally'' [[Kaleidoscope Eyes|change color]] as a response to something.
 
Compare/contrast [[Hellish Pupils]] (some of these may overlap), [[Wingding Eyes]], [[Kaleidoscope Eyes]] and [[Technicolor Eyes]]. [[Super -Trope]] to [[Animal Eyes]].

Line 67 ⟶ 65:
* Snakes have vertical slits for pupils. Goats and sheep have blocky horizontal rectangles for pupils and yellow sclera. Cats have pupils that vary from looking similar to human pupils to becoming narrow vertical slits in bright lights. All of these eyes are generally seen as unsettling at the least and outright scary at the worst, which contributes to their use under [[Hellish Pupils]]. More examples are listed on that trope's page.
** Fire Bellied Toads have heart shaped pupils, contrasting with their green/orange/black "warty" bodies.
* The campaign to find [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeline_McCann:Madeline McCann|Madeleine McCann]] made heavy use of the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Coloboma |coloboma]] in her right eye as a means to identify her.
