| The '''Beholder''', also known as '''Boulder''' or '''Weepy Eye''', is a recurring enemy in the ''[[Mana (series)|Mana]]'' series. This eyeball monster was taken from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beholder_(Dungeons_&_Dragons) Dungeons & Dragons] lore, albeit slighty altered from its original design to better fit the ''Mana'' universe. Beholders often are magically gifted rather than physically inclined. | | |image=[[File:Beholder FFA artwork.jpg|200px]]<br>artwork of a beholder from ''Final Fantasy Adventure'' |

| ==General Information== | | ==History== |
| ===Physical Description=== | | ===''Legend of Mana''=== |
| Earlier Beholder designs were extremely simplistic, to the point of being depicted as an eyeball with a red pupil in their ''Final Fantasy Adventure'' artwork. Subsequent releases has added a purple or blue protective eyelid often adorned with stars and gold eyelashes. Its magic often has the annoying side effect of changing the shape or appearance of their target.
