The Evil Eye, also known as Eye is a miniboss in the original Final Fantasy and its remakes. The evil eye is a skull type monster, with a big head and only one, giant Eye. This monster lives in the Ice Cave and in the Flying Fortress, but only appears as a random encounter in the last one. In the Ice Cave, it is the Levistone's infamous guardian, found one step before the stone.

The Evil Eye can be fought as many times as the player wants in the exact same tile, because it does not disappear from its position after defeated. The player can move to another adjacent tile, and then return to fight the Evil Eye again. Given that the Eye is a very easy enemy and it gives considerable amount of money and experience, the player can fight the Evil Eye as many times as they want and easily train their party.

The Evil Eye doesn't have any specific weaknesses, so, attack physically with your Thief/Monk/Warrior; use your highest grade magic to harm it, and Heal as necessary. It shouldn't be too hard due to its pathetic HP level.

In the original Japanese version of Final Fantasy, the Evil Eye greatly resembled a Beholder from Dungeons & Dragons. Outside of Japan and for remakes in all regions, the design was severely changed, likely for copyright reasons. The original graphic of the Beholder was kept for the player icon of it in Dissidia Final Fantasy, in all versions of the game.
