Their companions had seen from afar an eye demon battling with demons in the Great Abyss during a previous adventure. The monster appeared as a massive floating meatball in the air, with its frontal part dominated by an eyeball that occupied a third of its face, and several octopus-like tentacles protruding from its body, each ending in a smaller eyeball.
Lancelot did not recognize the monster before him, but his intuition told him it must have some connection with the eye demon. Indeed, this was the case: in some very rare instances, an eye demon, while sleeping, would send its consciousness to a corner far madder than its waking state, fantasizing about how it could continue to exist after death. Due to its powerful magic, once the eye demon reached a conclusion in this dream, its body would begin to transform—its flesh would wither and peel away, leaving only a skeletal body with a large eye socket, and its energy-filled eyeballs would turn into flickering ghostly flames.
