Useful Info

Shining eyes are dangerous floating monsters that deal no damage, but aggressively blast you with mutation-inflicting gaze attacks. Although these give you good mutations roughly 5% of the time, bad mutations are much, much more common. They are found in the Slime Pits, and can be summoned by a few enemies through the Summon Eyeballs spell.
