Ancestry: Oculos
Occasionally, a person's reincarnation can warp as a result of a Beholder's dreams. But instead of the person failing to reincarnate, they are reborn as an Oculos- a hybrid of both. Exceedingly rare, Oculos are isolated folk, residing mainly in deep caves and hidden lairs. Very rarely do they appear out in the open, for their alien visage horrifies others.
Oculos appear as humanoids with chromatic skin. They have six eyestalks sprouting from the top of their head, which are usually red, brown, blue, or green, while their humanoid eyes are clouded, as if they had severe cataracts.
