Torrents of spiritual magic dance around the farlook in a vivid display of black and white wisps. A soft liquid membrane is covered with a thickened skin that covers three-fourths of sphere-shape. A large, iris takes up the remaining quarter, which can be protected by a folded layer of skin just just above it. A sick goo constantly drips from the severed nerve ending jutting out of the back of the farlook. Crimson energy ripples emanate from the bottom of the farlook, causing it to bob up and down a few inches off the ground.

Other information

Farlooks do not spawn routinely in the Temple. They are created two at a time by a hunch-backed dogmatist performing a ritual on a dead player: 

A hunch-backed dogmatist kneels down next to you brandishing a dual-tipped dagger from her black silk sack.  Mumbling a soft prayer, she pries back your eyelids and plunges the tips of the dagger into your eye socket.  Digging around for a few moments, the dogmatist manages to dislodge the eyes with a sickening *PLOP* as they fall to the floor.

With her ritual task complete, the hunch-backed dogmatist puts the dagger back into her black silk sack.  She begins to recite a cryptic prayer as she turns her attention to the extracted eyes.
