        This is a cacodemon. I still like the meme though

        Except the comic doesn’t have a beholder in it.

          Fair enough. I totally didn’t remember that. I haven’t played Doom since the 90s.

            It’s alright! I recognized the cacodemon, but didn’t know it was a cropping from another DnD monster until I looked it up thanks to your meme, so thanks! It’s a fun piece of trivia

              I would bet that the concept predates D&D too. It’s basically a visual pun on “eyeball.”

            Get your shit together, Squid! Jesus.

            On a serious note: Everyone here should grab a copy of Doom II just to play the “myhouse.wad” mod for it.

    My house rule has always been that if you eat the big central eye of a beholder, you gain 2 points of charisma for 24 hours.

    What do you call a beholder with one eye?

      That’s why it’s not in the eyes of the beholder.

      The artist probably just relied on search results and erroneously thought this was an image of a beholder. But it is very clearly a cacodemon from DOOM instead. I could very much see many people making the mistake and thus the search results getting mixed in too.
