Peeping Eye

A Peeping Eye is a common Eyeball Monster from the video game series, Castlevania.

Peeping Eyes are simply floating eyes that have tails, chains, or similar strip of material. The Peeping Eye sits with its eye closed, awaiting prey (player characters), will swoop down, and attack with either its whip chain tail or a beam of energy that is emitted from its single eye.

The improved variant on the Peeping Eye is called the Bugbear. It functions almost exactly the same as the Peeping Eye except it uses electricity on the end of its tail to attack.

It is notable for being an enemy with a fairly consistant item drop: it usually drops an item, accessory or soul that allows the player to see hidden or breakable walls. This makes perfect sense; the peeping eye is literally a giant eyeball.

Peeping Eyes can be the bane of some players, as it can usually only be attacked by jumping in the air and then attacking, which is usually inefficient and risky. A toy of the Peeping Eye was released as an accessory with NECA's Dracula figure.
