Shadow eyes are small Underdark dwellers that scurry about on many tentacles. They rely on their psionic abilities in combat, and their ability to emit a disruptive zone of befuddling psychic energy that can all but stop a target dead in its tracks. They primarily eat fungi and small cave animals, though they aren't above scavenging the kills of other Underdark creatures, or even hunting on their own. They love the taste of humanoid flesh, especially that of elves and gnomes, and stalk any humanoids they find until discovering the perfect opportunity to strike.
