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=== | | ===''Secret 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.
