Besides the large Flying Eyeballs, I made some smaller Eye-bats.
My daughter looked at these and said "Those aren't creepy, they're goofy."
These are bats from Halloween giveaway rings, with a tiny googly eye replacing the face and a little grey paint adding some definition and fur. They took a ridiculously short time to make — drilling holes for the wire stands was the most time-consuming part. I used florist wire, with one end looped around under the base and metal washer glued over it to add weight and level the base.
In the Panopticon, I envision these guys doing nothing but fluttering around watching. Anyone caught in their critical gaze must save vs. Petrification (or Will) or act at -1 on everything requiring a roll (to-hit, saves, ability checks or skills, etc.) They are terribly fragile (d3 hp) but hard to hit — as plate & shield. They fly like bats.
Goofy, yes. A nuisance by themselves. But they also accompany patrols.
What has eight eyes, six wings, and ten legs?
If a wicked witch can have flying monkeys, then a magic-using Beholder can have these!
Those cyclops are awesome.
I’ll post more about them soon.
