Gazers (also known as eyeballs) were tiny (eight-inch wide), four-stalked, wild
beholderkin. They often served as familiars for evil spellcasters.[1][3]

A gazer was "born" out of a beholder's feverish dreams, in which its perception of
scale and perspective was warped by its delirium. It then followed its creator like
an aggressive pet, a fact that beholders considered amusing.[1]
Abilities Edit

The four eyestalks of gazers could cause effects similar to the spells cause fear,
daze, mage hand, and ray of frost.[1][3]
UsesEdit

A gazer's eye could be transplanted into a humanoid by a beholder surgeon. The

process killed the gazer, in a sense. This was done to turn said creature into an
ocular adept, the only divine casters of the Great Mother who weren't beholders
themselves. Vestiges of the gazer's psyche extended some influence on the receiver
of this surgery.[4]
