Gross. But totally believable for an aberration. Also, horrifying to spring on a party if they put one of its eyes out.

DM: Your arrow embeds itself in the center eye, ruining the Anti-Magic Cone that was keeping the wizard's magic at bay.

PC: Great! Ok, you can cast this turn so-

DM: The eye shifts in its socket, before falling from the beholder. In its place, you see a new eye, glassy and mucusy but beginning to clear, take its place. You suddenly recall the mutilated troll corpses and vials of green ichor from before. With horror, you realize what the beholder's experiments were for.


And then presumably your players put your eyes out, but what are you gonna do?
