History Main / ExtraEyes

* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': The growth of additional eyes is a very common Chaos mutation. 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) [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace 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, and others that it's an outright OneHitKill.
* Seraphim and their {{Evil Counterpart}}s Balseraphs, from the table-top RPG ''TabletopGame/InNomine'', appear as six-eyed winged serpents in their true forms.

** Rose Quartz's and Pearl's fusion, Rainbow Quartz, has four eyes, each pair resembling those of her constituent Gems, although they display the emotions of the other Gem.

* Descriptions of Angels in ''Literature/TheBible'' portray them as having multiple eyes, wings, and heads (and many combinations thereof). Since most of these are in either the symbol-heavy apocalyptic genre (Revelations) or the prophetic visions (Ezekiel), they are probably not meant to be taken literally.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': Dr. Clef is described as having "one blue eye, one green eye, and one hazel eye." Where ''exactly'' the third eye is located on his body is never stated, so expect lots of fan art putting it just about anywhere (if not ignoring it).

** The Star Vampire in ''[[https://thecrewofthecoppercoloredcupids.wordpress.com/2022/07/16/marksmanship-526-and-the-secret-society-stratagem-part-two/ Marksmanship-526 and the Secret Society Stratagem]]'' is described as having "far too many eyes for its own good. Or, more accurately, for anyone else’s good".

** D-033 has a human face with only 2 eyes, but has various eyes all over it's body.

* It appears that WebVideo/TheMercuryMen have a third eye, since the Mercury engineers' facemasks have a third eyehole.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': Dr. Clef is described as having “one blue eye, one green eye, and one hazel eye.” Where ''exactly'' the third eye is located on his body is never stated, so expect lots of fan art putting it just about anywhere (if not ignoring it).

** ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' Blackarachnia had six eyes in robot mode, although she usually used kept the two pair on her forehead shut.

* The ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' episode "Sight for Sore Eyes" revolves around an imaginary friend named [[PunnyName Ivan]], a pale-skinned creatures with dozens of eyes where most have a head. He is used as a seeing-eye friend by his blind owner which can lead to some interesting connotations of some of the more practical uses of imaginary friends.

* [[spoiler: Khudran]] in the scifi webcomic ''Webcomic/StarTrip'' is a shapeshifter whose forms have more than three eyes, sometimes becoming covered in eyes. This is even more prevalent when they appear in the main character Jas's dreams through a psychic connection, with their eyes springing up everywhere in the environment and focusing on her.

** The Hopeyes are one-legged kangaroo rat-like aliens with two pairs of eyes, one which goes on where their ears would be and is extra large.

* ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'': The creature creation tools lend themselves so well to this that almost any depiction of creatures for a CosmeticAward will have three eyes.

* ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheSecondStory'': Opera and Ernest both have three eyes, though the third eye isn't all that noticeable. Both are quite nice people and come from a planet, Tetragenes, where everyone has three eyes.

* ''VideoGame/NightsIntoDreams'': Wizeman has six eyes, one on each floating hand.
* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'': [[BigBad Saddler]], in addition to the massive {{Combat Tentacle|s}} he has (ahem) "down there", has a huge third eyeball hidden inside his mouth.
* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'': The [[OurZombiesAreDifferent J'avo]] look and act human, save for the bleeding extra eyes that burst through the skin on their forehead. It gets a hell of a lot ''worse'' when you shoot their limbs and they start sprouting [[BodyHorror bug limbs to replace them]]...

* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
** [[BrilliantButLazy Yukari]] [[RealityWarper Yakumo]] can open dimensional gaps which are typically full of eyes.
** In ''Subterranean Animism'', three of the characters have a third eye on their chest. Two of them ([[SpeciesSurname Satori]] and [[StrongerSibling Koishi]] [[MindOverManners Komeiji]]) have theirs on their [[{{Squick}} external]] [[EyesDoNotBelongThere hearts]] and have psychic powers because of it. Satori plays the trope straight, as her eye is open and allows her to read thoughts. Koishi subverts it, as she permanently CLOSED her eye, because AMindIsATerribleThingToRead and [[ForgotAboutTheMindReader reading it]] [[BlessedWithSuck makes people hate you]], in the process shutting down her own feelings and thoughts, but this in turn allows her to manipulate people's subconscious. The third one, Utsuho Reiuji, has a massive eye à la [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron]] in her chest, but it seems to be either decorative or a reactor.

* Boobus Tuber, an enemy in ''VideoGame/CommanderKeen'', has multiple eyes. This is fitting, since he's a potato.

* This trope is OlderThanFeudalism with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_Panoptes Argos Panoptes]], or Argos All-eyes, a giant in Greek mythology who had four eyes (or two faces) in early versions of his myth, and 100 eyes all over his body in later stories. It is said that he was the one who killed Echidna, [[MotherOfAThousandYoung the monster who gave birth to nearly every other monster in Greek mythology]] and later on was tasked by Hera to guard Io (who she had [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a white cow]]) from her philandering husband Zeus and as such was slain by Hermes. Afterwards, Hera used his countless eyes to make [[JustSoStory the pattern on the peacock's tail]].

* ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow'': In "It May Look Like A Walnut", they do a science fiction episode as AllJustADream where people live on walnuts and water (which they call "air") and grow eyes in the back of their heads after watching a scary movie. Wiki/TheOtherWiki's description of it is awesome: "Under the influence of science fiction, Rob fears that a walnut will steal his imagination and his thumbs. Danny Thomas guest-stars." Somebody must have been [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs tripping]].

* In ''Webcomic/HaruSari'' a race of people named Thestalians have four eyes.

** Also [[TokenEvilTeammate Vriska]], who technically had 7 [[HellishPupils pupils]] in one of her eyes rather than extra eyes. However, herself stated that she considered them eyes when she was complaining about losing them [[EyeScream when her eye was destroyed]]. She latter gets them back though when she [[CameBackStrong Comes Back Strong]].
* The [[https://bobadventures.thecomicseries.com/comics/290 P.E.P.S.I. monster]] in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' has five.

* In ''Webcomic/TheHandbookOfHeroes'', the Thief has BlindingBangs for most of the early comics, making the look of her eyes a mystery. That is, until her lover the Wizard gets curious and lifts up her bangs while in bed, revealing three pairs of eyes in rows. She is a tiefling, whose traits can vary depending on their demon ancestry, the Thief's being spider-demons from Lolth's domain.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Trigon the Terrible has four eyes. Since she's his daughter, Raven gets them when she's really [=POed=] about things.

On the flip side, Chromastone, Ghostfreak, Feedback, Nanomech, Upgrade and Wildvine only have one (though Nanomech has four in ''Omniverse''), and Wildmutt [[EyelessFace doesn't have any]]. Max's old friend Xylene has three. [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] with the aptly-named Eye Guy, who has eyes everywhere on his body except his face.
