A beholder, sometimes called a sphere of many eyes or an eye tyrant, was a large aberration normally found in the Underdark. It is a large, floating, orb-shaped beings with a large mouth, a single large central eye, and ten eyestalks. All of its eyes can fire powerful magical rays. Powerful and intelligent, beholders are some of the most powerful and iconic creatures from Dungeons & Dragons.
The beholder has appeared in every edition of the game since 1975. Beholders are one of the few classic Dungeons & Dragons monsters that Wizards of the Coast claims as Product Identity and as such was not released under its Open Game License. Beholders have been used on the cover of different Dungeons & Dragons handbooks, including the fifth edition Monster Manual.
