The Monoeye is one of three enemies based on an exaggerated facial feature, the others being Mick and [[Specknose]]. As its name implies, this creature is well-known for its massive single eye that gives it almost telescopic vision. This trait allows a Monoeye to find its targets very easily from the sky, giving it the opportunity to attack unexpectedly and in full force with many others of its kind. This monster also has numerous tentacles that help it to fly through the air quickly and efficiently. Like many Underworld enemies, the Monoeye can shoot plasma energy from its eye as a projectile attack. When using this ability, its normally blue or red iris will glow bright orange. There is also a cellular version of Monoeye in Uprising.

Monoeyes return as the most common enemies during Pit's adventure, and appear in almost all chapters of the story. They were among the very first monsters revealed in the original trailer, and are now capable of launching projectile attacks like their [[Ganewmede|skeletal counterparts]]. Monoeyes also form part of the [[Monomiknose]], giving this intriguing combo its two eyes. | Monoeyes return as the most common enemies during Pit's adventure, and appear in almost all chapters of the story.

Slightly redesigned for Uprising, the rank-and-file air based troop of the [[Underworld]] now fires two types of projectiles- three small rocks which don't do much damage but are fairly quick, and a purple energy ball that does more damage but is easier to evade. A Monoeye's iris briefly turns orange before it attacks, giving Pit the opportunity to anticipate the attack if he watches carefully. | Slightly redesigned for ''Uprising'', the rank-and-file air based troop of the [[Underworld]] now fires two types of projectiles- three small rocks which don't do much damage but are fairly quick, and a purple energy ball that does more damage but is easier to evade.

'''Aurum Monoeyes''' (オーラムモノアイ ''Ōramu Monoai'') are fairly uncommon enemies, first found during the air battle of ''[[The Aurum Hive]]''. They are one of the few monsters to be copied by the Aurum and act identically to their Underworld counterparts. | '''Aurum Monoeyes''' (オーラムモノアイ ''Ōramu Monoai'') are fairly uncommon enemies, first found during the air battle of ''[[The Aurum Hive]]''.

*In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] there appears a similar enemy, which are called Feyesh, looking like an orange fish with one big eye and tentacles. Coincidentally, it first appears in the Sea of Clouds level, which is located near and can be considered part of the World of Trophies' [[Skyworld]] area, which is based on the ''Kid Icarus'' world of the same name and is where players first take control of [[Pit]].
