History Main / Oculothorax

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'': Then Feyesh in the story mode is a flying eyeball fish with tentacles. Yuck.
* And then ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' gives us [[spoiler:Dharkon. He's sorta like the Feyesh, but without the fish.]]

** The MonsterOfTheWeek of the [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 1998 series]]' episode "The Mane Event" is a beholder-like creature consisting of black orb full of blue eyes. It's large enough to block out the sun's lightning in Townsville, and its eyes shoot vaporizing lasers. It can only be attacked when its eyes are shut.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'': In the second game, ''Story of Eastern Wonderland'', flying eyes with bat wings are a common enemy in the first couple stages. The game's BonusBoss is a giant mechanical version called "Evil Eye Sigma", built by the stage 1 boss [[WrenchWench Rika]].

* The [[http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Pain_elemental Pain elementals]] and [[http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Cacodemon Cacodemons]] from ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}''. While both are sturdy, Pain Elementals are worse because they can take a beating and spawn Lost Souls on death (along with the ones they spawn as an attack). ''VideoGame/BrutalDoom'' and ''VideoGame/ProjectBrutality'' also add variants that are meaner and stronger. Fortunately, the brutal finishers you can do on them are satisfying: Doomguy rips a Cacodemon in half by tearing apart by the jaws, or rips out their eye in the case of both. The latter actually ''prevents'' Pain Elementals from spawning Lost Souls because they don't pop.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'': Mr. I is just an eyeball. It constantly faces Mario, so the only way to defeat it is to [[WeaksauceWeakness run around it quickly until it gets dizzy]]. A [[GiantMook bigger version]] appears as a MiniBoss in BigBoosHaunt.

From the Latin ''oculus'' meaning "eye" and ''thorax'' for "chest," this creature's body is primarily an eyeball. Common variants include one giant central eye in a body over a wide mouth, smaller eyes (which may or may not be [[EyeOnAStalk on stalks]]) around the central one. If they nothing ''but'' a disembodied eye, they'll become a full FacelessEye. These creatures are generally able to fly, whether with wings or by some innate levitation ability. If they have limbs, they tend toward tentacles, and their eyes often have special properties like a [[TakenForGranite petrifying gaze]] or EyeBeams. Because of the symbolism between [[FacelessEye disembodied eyes and creepiness]], creatures like this tend to be evil more often than not. At any rate it is a good way to make something appear [[StarfishAliens truly alien]].

* One MonsterOfTheWeek in ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' is Infrared Ivan, an invisible eyeball who steals eye-based items (like glasses) by fooling people into thinking he's an invisible man with a coat and hat dangled on one of his tentacles. After reluctantly wearing the super-sensory (but embarrassing-looking) new eyes her mother made, Jenny exploits Ivan's weakness by [[EyeScream kicking sand into him]]... which he then humorously subdues himself by picking up all the wrong things to help the burning (hot sauce, a magnifying glass, and a pointy stick).

While both are sturdy, Pain Elementals are worse because they can take a beating and spawn Lost Souls on death (along with the ones they spawn as an attack). ''VideoGame/BrutalDoom'' and ''Project Brutality'' also add variants that are meaner and stronger.

The latter actually ''prevents'' Pain Elementals from spawning Lost Souls because they don't pop.

* ''VideoGame/CostumeQuest'': The "Eyeball" costume in the DLC "Grubbins on Ice".
* ''VideoGame/TheCrystalOfKings'' have floating eyeball enemies called "Hell's Eye" in the later stages. They have the ability to teleport and electrocute your character if you touched them, and later on you face upgraded Hell's Eyes who can spam a WaveMotionGun attack covering much of the screen. The latter, despite being one of the more dangerous opponents encountered, is still a GlassCannon who dies in two hits.

* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''

* ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'': The [[http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Pain_elemental Pain elementals]] and [[http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Cacodemon Cacodemons]]. While both are sturdy Pain Elementals are even worse because they can take a beating and spawn Lost Souls on death (along with the Lost Souls they spawn as an attack). In ''VideoGame/{{Brutal Doom}}'' and ''Project Brutality'' add different variants that are meaner and stronger. Fortunately the brutal finishers you can do on them is both painful and satisfying: Doomguy rips a Cacodemon in half by tearing apart by the jaws or rips out their eye in the case of both. This actually ''prevents'' Pain Elementals from spawning Lost Souls ''because'' they don't pop.

** [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016 2016 series]]: While the real villains in "Rebel Rebel" are the Beaker Boys, the episode's plot is mainly driven by Mr. Big Eye, a giant tentacled eyeball monster who was created by Professor Utonium while being tricked by the Beaker Boys. Much like the aforementioned monster, Mr. Big Eye attacks by shooting lasers, though he only has one eye and walks on the ground with his tentacles rather than float.
