Monster Eyes[1] are a mysterious, unseen variety of creature in Metroid: Samus Returns. The creature's body is not seen, apart from its two menacing, glowing red eyes. It is located in Area 4. Its eyes periodically appear seemingly out of nowhere in the background and blink once, before breathing heavily through its nostrils. It then disappears. None of these creatures existed in the original Metroid II: Return of Samus, which featured minimal backgrounds.
It appears only one time, and will not reappear on subsequent visits to the same location.
