Description
The Gazing Boogie, or Dwellus oculus, is a house-dwelling Boogie whose hunting grounds go through the entire home. A majority of them prefer to scare from half-opened closets, or darkened hallways, but each Gazing Boogie is capable of scaring up a meal wherever human prey dwells. During the day, Gazing Boogie's coil up their trunks and hide in cabinets or storage bins that are rarely used. When night comes, the Gazing Boogie will crawl out of its hiding spot and proceed to scare those who inhabit the household. Its tool for fear-collection is its long trunk, which is much longer than its own body. The trunk ends in a fleshy pad that contains false eyes and nostrils that form the shape of a mouth. The mouth-like nostrils sniff out potential prey, and the Gazing Boogie will often use it to scope out rooms. The long trunk is deployed around corners to check for prey or predators. Once the cost is clear and the prey is sighted, the Gazing Boogie will raise its trunk high into the air and activate organs in its false eyes that create light. These false eyes will begin to glow in the darkness, giving the impression of a tall creature lurking in the shadows. There are two pairs of eyes on the trunk, large and small. The Boogie can activate either or, and will often decide which one is the scariest for the situation. These haunting eyes will create fear that the Boogie will feed on, which it can harvest from either children or adults.

The end of the long trunk is capable of suctioning itself onto surfaces, which the Boogie will use to manipulate objects or help it climb over obstacles.

The presence of a Gazing Boogie can be recognized by the glowing eyes, but can also be identified in other ways. Since they probe areas with their trunk, places covered in dust and dirt can irritate their nostrils and cause them to let out a loud sneeze. Knocked over objects on tables or counters is a good sign as well, as the trunk does not have real eyes, and often bumps into inorganic objects as they search the area.

A good way to catch a Dwellus oculus is hanging long strands of flypaper in the hallways where it has been spotted. This flypaper should be well anchored and left dangling a good height in the air. When the Gazing Boogie travels down the hall with its trunk raised, the appendage will get caught in the tape. The Gazing Boogie's eyes are down low, and will not see the paper high up. Efforts to pull free will only get it further tangled, and in the morning, one can find a dismayed Gazing Boogie caught up in the paper. Once caught, one should contact a local exterminator or hunter so that they can safely and properly remove it. It is recommended that this flypaper should be hung in places that do not receive direct sunlight. Gazing Boogies are allergic to direct sunlight, with exposure being very painful to them. Unless one is prepared to remove them from the trap before the sun rises, one should place the traps in a darker place. Though they feed on fear, this species is harmless and does not deserve such an agonizing way to go.
