* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', Zant was passed over as king of the Twili in favor of another. This spurred him into staging a coup and usurping the throne. After he's defeated by Link, Midna tells him the reason no one would name Zant king was because they saw his {{Lust}} for power in his eyes. The Twili had been banished into the Twilight Realm because their ancestor's king had a similar power lust and drove his people to invade the Sacred Realm, and the Twili would not let history repeat.

* ''Anime/DeathParade'' Uses a wealth of EyeTropes, and this is no exception.
