==Description==
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 Peeping Eye is a floating [[Eyeball monsters|eyeball monster]] that has either a tail, a chain, or another similar strip of material attached to it. It lies with its eye closed awaiting prey, and when a victim approaches, it will swoop down and attack with either its whip-chain tail or, in some games, a beam of energy that is emitted from its single eye. It is described in various bestiaries as the [[Dracula's Castle|castle]]'s designated "watch dog" (a pun referencing the fact it is a monster eyeball).
   
 
The Peeping Eye is notable for being an enemy with a fairly consistent item drop: it usually drops an [[item]], [[accessory]] or [[Tactical Soul|soul]] that allows the player to see hidden or breakable walls.

Peeping Eyes can be the bane of some players, as they generally can only be attacked by jumping and then attacking, which given its movement pattern, is usually inefficient and risky.
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.

Depending on the game they appear in, their tails can be either completely harmless or one of their main methods of attack. In some games, the tail is just too short to present any kind of danger; in others, making contact with them may have no effect at all; yet in others, they may unleash a special attack where they lash their tails furiously while homing fast toward the hero.
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.

The Peeping Eye is an enemy in the Castlevania series. It is a creature that keeps watch in the castle.

Description

The Peeping Eye is a floating eyeball monster that has either a tail, a chain, or another similar strip of material attached to it. It lies with its eye closed awaiting prey, and when a victim approaches, it will swoop down and attack with either its whip-chain tail or, in some games, a beam of energy that is emitted from its single eye. It is described in various bestiaries as the castle's designated "watch dog" (a pun referencing the fact it is a monster eyeball).

The Peeping Eye is notable for being an enemy with a fairly consistent item drop: it usually drops an item, accessory or soul that allows the player to see hidden or breakable walls.

Peeping Eyes can be the bane of some players, as they generally can only be attacked by jumping and then attacking, which given its movement pattern, is usually inefficient and risky.

Depending on the game they appear in, their tails can be either completely harmless or one of their main methods of attack. In some games, the tail is just too short to present any kind of danger; in others, making contact with them may have no effect at all; yet in others, they may unleash a special attack where they lash their tails furiously while homing fast toward the hero.

This enemy makes a minor appearance in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Peeking through the archways in the background, a giant Peeping Eye can be seen following Alucard as he moves through the Marble Gallery hallway leading to the Outer Wall. The Peeping Eye is only seen in this room and is not actually an enemy in the game, being little more than part of the background.

A boss version of this enemy appears in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, called the Peeping Big. When defeated, it explodes into a multitude of smaller Peeping Eyes, although these don't have chain tails.

The Bugbear is an advanced variant on the Peeping Eye. It behaves almost exactly the same, except that it uses electricity on the end of its tail to attack.

In other media

A toy of the Peeping Eye was released as an accessory with NECA's Dracula action figure.
