Beholder: (thinking in the Sherlock Holmes format)
Ok 1st I eat the Dwarf.
next, Ray of death from multiple eyes on the Trickster Rogue.
Then a short drawn out battle of mediocre proportions with the Guardian, which ends up with me eating his charred remains.

Here we are observing a beholder in its natural habitat, hunting for its main source of food, adventurers. A Beholder is an aberration comprising a floating spheroid body with a large fanged mouth and single eye on the front and many flexible eyestalks on the top.
A beholder's eyes each possess a different magical ability; the main eye projects an anti-magical cone, and the other eyes use different spell-like abilities (disintegrate objects, transmute flesh to stone, cause sleep, slow the motion of objects or beings, charm animals, charm humans, cause death, induce fear, levitate objects, and inflict serious wounds). Many variant beholder species exist, such as "observers", "spectators", "eyes of the deep", "elder orbs", "hive mothers", and "death tyrants". In addition, some rare beholders can use their eyes for non-standard spell-like abilities; these mutant beholders are often killed or exiled by their peers. Beholders wishing to cast spells like ordinary wizards relinquish the traditional use of their eyestalks, and put out their central anti-magic eye, making these beholder mages immediate outcasts.
Beholders are especially prominent in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, where they infiltrate and seek to control many sectors of society—many beholders are allied to the Zhentarim, some work with the Red Wizards of Thay, and a particularly powerful beholder, known as "The Eye" or "Xanathar" controls Skullport's influential Xanathar's Thieves Guild. Beholders also compete to control the Underdark from where most of them originate, with their base of power in the City of the Eye Tyrants, Ootul.

Go Big or Go Home, either way this is going to happen.
Not sure if mine has been said, so I'll toss a handful out there to make up for it if they've already been used to caption the screen shot, hope at least one of these hasn't been said already:
1) Expeditious Retreat!
2) I think I just failed a Spot Check.
3) An eye for an eye takes on an entirely new meaning.
4)The story of life is quicker than the blink of an eye,
and thus their adventure came to an end. *or* The story of life is quicker than the blink of an eye, what's your story?
5) Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.
6) As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
7) He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none.
8) In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
9) More firm and sure the hand of courage strikes, when it obeys the watchful eye of caution.
10) Random chance plays a huge part in everybody's life.

"Anyone see where i put my visine?"
Adventurer: 'and, ah, which eye was that?'
Power without Perception is Spiritually useless and therefore of no true value.
