Along with her ability to control the Grimm, this helps make it ambiguous as to whether she's human or something else until her backstory is revealed in Volume 6.]]

A subtrope of TechnicolorEyes. Compare GlamourFailure, RedIsViolent, CreepyBlueEyes. Contrast RedIsHeroic.

Not to be confused with being worried about a late-night airline flight (which would probably fall under PlaneAwfulFlight), or with the film ''Film/RedEye'' (which is about such a flight), or with the liquor. Sometimes a part of BurningWithAnger, and thus a harbinger of wrath from the SevenDeadlySins wrath.

** Every time you kill a player in Lost Saga you renew your red eyes for another hour. In "The Land of the Dragons", a place where player killers call home, if you ''don't'' have red eyes, you are considered an abnormality. If you're abnormal, you should probably be beat to death.
** Lotto's eyes, normally brown, tend to show glints of red in color pages when he's feeling particularly murderous.

* Zigzagged in ''WebVideo/CriticalRole''. Mollymauk's eyes are entirely red, lacking a pupil and an iris. This in itself doesn't actually mean much; Molly's red eyes are due to his tiefling heritage, and while he can be abrasive, he is a genuinely nice person.

[[spoiler:It's not until the final arc of the story, months after Mollymauk's death, that the Mighty Nein encounter [[BigBad Lucien]], the person Molly was before losing his memory. Unlike Molly, Lucien knows that the red eye tattoos are gifts of the [[EldritchAbomination Somnovem]], and can use them to ''devastating'' effect; summoning fireballs, creating an anti-magic field, and unleashing a psychic assault that nearly {{One Hit Kill}}s Beau and Caduceus.]]

** Season 2 introduces Fang as the main cast's relatively new classmate, who has red eyes and glasses which appear to have a red glowing tint in the dark. He's aloof, arrogant and has a power band like each of the main characters, and the one who provides such power sources, Ochobot, faints at the sight of him. This makes the heroes wary of him, and it doesn't help that Fang sees [=BoBoiBoy=] as an obstacle to his quest for popularity, which has lead him to team up with the heroes' enemies at times. It's {{subverted}} later on, however, as he eventually befriends the heroes and proves to be well-meaning. However, his red eyes do foreshadow that [[spoiler:he's not [[HumanAlien exactly human]]]].
