Monkeye

The Monkeye is an artificial-intelligence pathfinding entity in Gorilla Tag, featured primarily in the Basement.
==Profile==
===Appearance===
The Monkeye is shaped like the head of a player, with most notably a large singular central eye, six separate eyes held around upper portion of the Monkeye with stalks, and a disappointed frown on its face.
The Monkeye can appear with unique colours applied to its body, most notably a red, cyan, pink or orange colour applied to its fur, a grey colour applied to its face, and either a yellow or white colour applied to its eyes. Their eyes turn red when they send a player down to the lower part of the maze.
===Personality===
The Monkeyes are shown to act hostile towards players, relentlessly scouring the contents of the Maze, dragging down any players they follow and proceed to capture mercilessly.
==Location==
The Monkeyes are located in the upper floor of the Maze of the Basement, and are often referenced in the form of physical decorations in the Basement, or Earned Cosmetics which could be obtained (i.e. Monkeye Badge, Squeezy Monkeye, Monkeye Tee)
==Trivia==
*The Monkeyes are based on the Oculothorax, a monstrous species often referenced by it's form in Dungeons & Dragons, known as a "Beholder". The former is often referenced in fantasy-themed content for Gorilla Tag.
*The sound produced by the Monkeyes was recorded by Gorilla Tag sound designer Cody O' Quinn, by moaning into a microphone, then adding effects and adjusting the pitch."i moaned into a microphone and added fx and played with the pitch" https://discord.com/channels/671854243510091789/813188379499560960/1089262524223987792
*The colour applied to the Monkeyes are a reference to the colours given to the ghost entities in the original Pac-Man.
*As of May 4th 2024, the Monkeyes were re-added to the game, and 2 new Monkeyes were also added to the game.
*If you shoot a Monkeye with a bow or any kind of slingshot it will be stunned for a couple of seconds and won't be able to attack, buying a player enough time to run past safely.
