This article is about an older version of DF.
A small underground monster that crawls across the cavern wall with its four clawed hands. It has a single large eye which can shine with its own light, otherwise its stony skin blends in with the rock. It has no mouth and is said to feed on evil alone.

A small monster that can be found in the deepest caverns. They aren't known to be particularly dangerous, but they do take a lot of killing.

Drowning chambers do not work on creeping eyes, as they have no lungs. The same 5 z-level pit trap capable of killing dozens of blind cave ogres with assembly line efficiency doesn't even damage these hardy creatures. Your best bet is your military, even though creeping eyes have a lot of excess targetable body parts and only one weak point: the heart.

For warriors with blunt weapons, they are basically living sandbags, being able to take many days of beating with maces and hammers without dying. Also, they don't really fight back, as their only known attack is a "push" (although with particularly bad luck even it can break small bones and bruise noses and ears). Usually, the dwarves bash and hammer on them until they collapse from over-exertion and continue the onslaught after some rest. Speardwarves, swordsdwarves and axedwarves are known to kill creeping eyes relatively easily by stabbing them in the heart or simply hacking them apart.





D4Dwarf.png This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Interestingly, despite feeding on evil alone creeping eyes have intestines, implying that evil can be metabolized. Because of this, it is widely believed that bars of soap derived from the evil-saturated fat of creeping eyes is a powerful dwarven aphrodisiac (beard strengthener).
