Several monsters have "gaze attacks", which enables them to attack by glaring at you. You can protect yourself from these by blinding yourself in advance. Additionally, a blind or cancelled monster cannot successfully use a gaze attack. Blinding yourself is more reliable, however. A monster's gaze is also rendered impotent if it is invisible, provided the victim cannot see invisible.
The following monsters have gaze attacks:
- Floating eye (passive paralyzing gaze)
- Pyrolisk (fiery gaze that burns objects in your inventory)
- Archon (radiant gaze that blinds and stuns you)
- Umber hulk (confusing gaze)
- Medusa (petrifying gaze)
- Baalzebub (stunning gaze)
