Deepeyes are basically big, meaty version of the Gogglers you may remember from your Ocean sailing days. Instead of high Evasion and low HP, though, Deepeyes have a lot of HP but not much in the way of defense. They will alternate between a Paralyzing Gaze and a Flash attack that inflicts your party with Darkness, and a basic double attack that won't be much of a threat. You may want to take them out before the White Sharks they accompany simply because they're more annoying.

Gogglers are an interesting foe in that they have no way to directly harm you. They will simply use their paralyzing Gaze attack every round, which can hinder your efforts to take out their Sahagin allies. The good news is, one hit from any character will take them out, but the bad news is they have rather high Evasion so that hit is far from guaranteed. It's not worth having multiple characters attack a single Goggler, but having someone try to take them out each round can help a lot in the long run.

BigEYES accompany GrSHARKS and have nearly as much HP. Their attack is not as powerful, but they can also cycle between a Paralyzing GAZE and a FLASH ability that can cause Darkness to the whole party.
