beholders

Eyes on something

Beholders is the plural of beholder—one who beholds or observes something.

The word appears most often in the saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder, meaning judgments of beauty are subjective.

In fantasy gaming, a beholder is a floating spherical monster with a central eye and multiple eyestalks, each capable of casting different spells.
