==Transcript==
===Introduction===
"Be careful!" Niknak says. "Some of Lord Occulus' minions!"
He points to the fiendish forms ahead. All of them have their backs to you, and appear to be staring at the wall, or hill -- you still haven't quite decided what to make of the strange growths or structures. In particular, they're facing one of the giant eyeballs. It's gazing down at them in turn.
"You called them 'eyeball demons' before," you say. "Why is that?"
Niknak frowns.
"Stupid human! Because they have eyeballs!"
"So do we."
"Watch..."
He sticks his fingers in his mouth and emits a long, shrill whistle.
The demons turn, revealing hideous visages -- each of them dominated by a single big, glaring eyeball.
"Now you see?" the imp asks.
"I... Yes."
"Good!"
He favors you with a smug, superior grin as the eyeball demons attack.
===Conclusion===
The demon manages to scowl as he slashes -- not an expression you would have imagined possible from a head which consists entirely of a lidded eye. Fortunately, that achievement is rather finer than his swordplay. You parry his attack, and puncture his eponymous organ with your riposte.
Its ocular flesh is denser and tougher than you expected, but a hard thrust puts the blade in deep. It occurs to you rather late that you don't even know if this fiend's brain is in the usual place. But the perturbing thought is put from your mind when the weapon drops from his hand, and his body goes limp.
With the demon dead, and your companions finishing off the last of the others, you take a moment to inspect his curious corpse.
Blue tendrils run across his body. You'd taken them for garments, decorations, or else parasites of some kind. But your probing sword point reveals that they're part of its body. Each growth joins with the adjacent flesh, united in spite of their differing hues and textures. There are smaller eyes embedded in some of them, all of which now stare sightless.
"What made them like this?" you ask. "I recognize these breeds of demon from the Black Tower. But those ones didn't have giant eyeballs or..."
You press the tip of your blade against an expanse of deep blue flesh.
"Lesser fiends are often weak-willed creatures," Brachus says. "Over time their minds and even their bodies may become altered by the infernal environments in which they dwell."
"They're disgusting!" one of the warriors says.
"Oh, there are far, far fouler and more hideous creatures than these in the infernal realms."
