~ Eyedol to The Alliance in Killer Instinct: Shadow Lords.Įyedol is a dread example of John Dalberg-Acton's famous observation: " Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. ![]() My mind, though severed in two by the Shadow Tyrant, has but one resolve - vengeance for my suffering! You will not sway me to your cause. The plight of mortals yields no interest to me. He is shown to be very arrogant and bloodthirsty, being responsible for an unthinkable amount of death, misery and destruction and caring very little about the consequences, all to show how powerful he is. In the 1996 comics which adapt and expand upon the first game's story, Eyedol is shown to be cunning, manipulating the man who would become the Chairman of UltraTech, helping him reach such a position through his own wisdom and knowledge, and so he could become the leader of the only company with the required resources to open a portal to Earth that Eyedol could access from the limbo he originated from. Though we don't see much of Eyedol's personality in the original 1994 game, in his ending we see him murder a woman who thinks he's her son in cold blood. In both continuities, Eyedol is shown to be massive, towering over nearly all members of the cast. Eyedol still keeps his new skull-laced club from his default KI 2013 costume. When focusing on physical combat his red-eyed side takes control, and when he focuses on magical combat his purple-eyed side takes over.Įyedol's retro costume largely mirrors his original 1994 appearance, though he now is much bulkier than he was in the original game, each head now shows only one horn instead of two, and he has a purple-colored eye for one head and a red-colored eye for the other, and he lacks his original chain ear piercings. He wields a massive club or mace laced with human skulls. His legs are digitigrade like those of Gargos', but his three-toed feet appear to have large, blunt toenails rather than sharp claws like his foe. He wears a single pauldron on his right shoulder and a loincloth with human skulls attached to it around his waist. He is less muscular and more pot-bellied, like a stereotypical ogre, though still very large in stature. He retains his gray skin, but now has swirling tattoos running along half of his body that glow purple, and also has ropes slung around his torso. His left eye glows purple and his right eye glows red, and the horn on the right side of his head is broken off at the end. His brain is visible within the massive gap, and purple and red lightning darts across the divide, connecting the two pieces of his head. Unlike before he now appears to have only one head, however it has been split completely in half down the middle so one eye is on each side of the cleft. In the 2013 title, Eyedol received a substantial overhaul. He wields a massive, spiked mace and is the tallest character in the game. In Eyedol's classic design, he appears as a massive, gray (or green or brown) skinned, two-headed cyclops with glowing red eyes, and goat-like legs with cloven hooves. He is voiced by Zachary Quarles, who also voiced Riptor and Aganos.Įyedol VS Spinal in a promotional poster for the original Killer Instinct.
