Hecteyes (ヘクトアイズ, Hekutoaizu?), also known as Hect Eyes or 8 eye, is a recurring enemy in the Final Fantasy series. Hecteyes are commonly blob-like enemies with numerous eyes all over their bodies.

Overview[]

Amano Eyemoeba (color)

Artwork by Yoshitaka Amano for Final Fantasy II.

Hecteyes are similar to flan, usually pink or red, with eyes protruding throughout their bodies. The creatures were designed by Yoshitaka Amano for Final Fantasy II, being blue for their original appearance. Hecteyes are likely based on the mythical Hyakume (百目), a yokai of Japanese folklore.

Hecteyes are typically a standalone species, although in Final Fantasy XII they are a member of the flan genus. The species is sometimes substituted with the Orukat (オルカト, Orukato?) in some titles, but sometimes the latter is presented as a palette-swap of the Hecteyes.

Hecteyes are often dangerous creatures capable of inflicting several status ailments on the player party, while also having abilities allowing them to absorb a target's HP and MP. Later titles would give the Hecteyes more combat prowess, being able to physically assault targets with their extended body parts, while also being able to shoot energy from their eyes.
