The magical eye, e, is a monster that appears in SporkHack and EvilHack. In both games, it has several gaze attacks, and resists damage from the main three elements (i.e., fire, cold and shock damage).

Monster stats by variant

In EvilHack, the magical eye is a combination of its counterpart from SporkHack above and the evil eye from UnNetHack. It is skittish, meaning it will evade and kite its target where possible. Magical eyes also cannot be tamed or genocided.

Eating a magical eye corpse will randomly increase or decrease the player's Luck by 2 points.

Strategy

As with the SporkHack magical eye, a blindfold or towel is effective to prevent its gaze attacks.

Encyclopedia entry

A serious nuisance, especially when encountered with other
monsters. Harasses the player with six different gaze attacks
at its disposal, and it's skittish, meaning it will evade and
kite its target, making the magical eye somewhat difficult to
kill. Eating its corpse will randomly increase or decrease the
player's luck by two points.
