Beholders
The original eye tyrant, the Beholder monster was invented in 1975 by Terry Kuntz for a module, and has since then become THE iconic face of Dungeons & Dragons.
A Beholder is a vicious, evil, cruel, intelligent aberrant monster. Its central eye cancels all opposing magic, and its tiny eyes each fire a different type of ray - it might burn, petrify, wither, or disintegrate you with just a glance! Every Beholder looks different, as some are leathery, some are armor plated, some are lumpy... but each and every one thinks that it looks perfect, and all others are inferior. Beholders don't get along very well.
