* Since the distinction between copyright free monsters and ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' originals would remain obscure to laymen for several more years, ''Manga/Bastard1988'''s manga originally featured a Beholder. After getting complaints from Creator/{{TSR}}'s Japanese division the comic's supervisor Mr. Suzuki profusely apologized. The monster was slightly altered with comical arms and legs and renamed the "Suzuki Dogezaemon" for the collected volume. Dogeza meaning "apologizing on hands and knees." Whether the incident really happened or was just a funny story that became a rumor within the industry is disputed, but the change gained some entertaining notoriety and led to other creators voluntarily changing their own Beholder appearances.

*** The original ''[[VideoGame/TheFinalFantasyLegend SaGa]]'' had a very different looking and slightly differently spelled Beholder as just a single floating eye. It would still be changed in later versions to the Death Eye, probably because the game already featured another monster called the Evil Eye.

*** The first of the ''VideoGame/TheBardsTaleTrilogy'' featured Beholders, though their visuals vary depending on the port. Ironically the Famicom release makes them just look like the D&D Beholders.
*** And then there were the Japanese releases of the ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}}'' games. ''Wizardry Gaiden'' for the Gameboy featured a very Beholder-looking monster named the Eyeball. ''Wizardry Empire'' decided to live dangerously and not only have one named the Beholder but also featured the Undead Beholder, technically renamed from D&D's own Death Tyrant. They would both get remakes where the monsters were further redesigned and renamed to the Bebold and Undead Bebold.
