Observers (or floating eyes) are an intelligent race of floating eyeball squids native to the Great Dark Beyond. Looking through the Twisting Nether, observers have the capability to see through forms of stealth and invisibility.

A plated crest covers the observers' forehead and top of the head. Gills are present on both sides of their bodies; below them, ten tentacles hang down. There's also a sphincter on their backside that can be seen contracting when observers fight and dilating when they die. When Observers fall asleep or die, they will fall to the ground. Adult members of the species feature two rows of teeth and seven eyes. Their eyes can shoot magic beams, with different types of magic coming from different eyes. Young observers only have two big teeth and a single eye that can shoot magic. They are also far less aggressive than their adult counterparts.

The observers express a deep desire to bear witness to all forms of magic and are willingly offering their services in exchange for the opportunity to consume new forms of magic. Some observers have joined the Legion, but nothing suggests that the race is a member of it as a whole. Other individuals, including renegade demons like Culuthas, have gained the allegiance of observers to their own ends. There are also examples of observers that pledged allegiance to no one but themselves, like Xeleth who was worshiped as a god by Zangarmarsh's native creatures. Some observers joined the Illidari, among which some have stayed around Outland despite and since Illidan's death.
