* ''VideoGame/SomaSpirits'': The original version's StartScreen shows the hooded Heart and Soul, and all that can be seen of their faces is their eyes and mouth.

[[folder:VideoGames]]

* ''WesternAnimaiion/CareBears1980s'': The dark wizard No Heart wears dark cloaks that obscure his face, with only his burning red eyes ever being the part of it that's visible.

* Orko from ''Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse'' is a Trollan, a race of magical humanoid creatures who wear robes that conceal their faces. However, his yellow eyes are always visible.

* ''WesternAnimation/TrickMoon'': Exaggerated; BigBad Dr. Bleak's entire body is coated in shadow, with his yellow eyes visibly glowing out of the darkness.

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': [[BigBad Voldemort]] is described (and shown in the film adaptations) to have a very serpent-like face, making this normally an AvertedTrope. However, in one of the chapter illustrations for ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'', he is shown fighting against [[BigGood AlbusDumbledore]]. In the illustration, his robed body is drawn, but his face is obscured in darkness by his cloak, leaving only his glowing red eyes visible.

* In the chapter illustrations for the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' books, [[BigBad Voldemort]] is occasionally depicted this way.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLordoftheRings'': In the 1978 Ralph Bakshi animated version of part of 'The Lord of the Rings', the Ringwraiths are depicted with glowing red eyes, sometimes with their faces obscured by hoods.

* [[spoiler:Professor Codex]] in ''VideoGame/BookwormAdventures'', who is tall, has a red cloak, and towers over the other characters, cementing his appearance as an antagonist.
* Some characters in ''VideoGame/BugFables'' have faces that are obscured by their exoskeleton, leaving only their eyes visible underneath. Notably, beetle characters usually only have one eye visible, but it's confirmed that they all have both eyes and that they function correctly.
* ''VideoGame/{{Chantelise}}'': What are presumably ghosts, given their {{Intangibility}} ability, are flying cloaks with patches of darkness for faces, given they have dots of yellow that seem to serve as eyes.

** Bushies. Piles of leaves with a black patch that contains two glowing yellow dots for eyes.
** Cloakies. Floating cloaks with darkness inside them and yellow eyes being the only visible feature.

** The {{Black Mage}}s are the trope codifier, at least for Video Games. They wear [[RobeAndWizardHat blue robes with a yellow hat]], which leaves their face obscured. This design was likely due to the sprite limitations of the NES.
** [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwarves]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' also have the same appearance of a dark shadowy face with glowing eyes, but lack the traditional wizard attire. They even have visible hair on their heads but their faces are still darkened in this fashion.
* The main character in ''VideoGame/{{Journey}}'' wears red robes and has glowing white eyes underneath them.
* TheHeartless in ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''. The most basic mooks wear no clothes, showing them to be [[LivingShadow living shadows]], but some varieties wear robes that invoke the "black mage" look or something similar. Either way, they're also AdorableEvilMinions.

** Hyness from ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' wears a white robe with a hood and has glowing yellow eyes underneath. When his hood falls off during his main boss battle, he's revealed to be the creepy kind.
* Wizzrobes from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' tend to be robed sorcerers who hide their faces under a RobeAndWizardHat. However, [[DependingOnTheArtist sometimes they look completely different]], like in ''Wind Waker'' which makes them toucan people.
* Sigma's first form in ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'' has a pretty clear parallel to the grim reaper by invoking this trope with glowing yellow eyes from a face hidden by a dark cloak, while also floating and carrying around a huge scythe. Luckily for X & Zero, that robe is flammable, and they have [[KillItWithFire Rising Fire and Ryuenjin respectively]].
* The Endermen from ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', whose bodies are entirely black, aside from their glowing, purple eyes. Their creepy appearance adds to the ominous, mysterious feeling their presence gives off.
* ''VideoGame/{{Recettear}}'': Ghosts are flying cloaks with patches of darkness for faces, and dots of yellow as eyes.

* The knights in ''VideoGame/SpiralKnights'', which all have different colored eyes and wear different equipment. Some of them wear more obscuring gear than others.
* The dwarf in ''VideoGame/StardewValley'' always wears a metal helmet and as a result the player can only see the dwarf's two glowing eyes.

* ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'': The beginning of the episode ''Whitehouse Weirdness'' has Tuddrussel and Otto sitting around a camp fire when they spot a pair of evil looking blue eyes hovering in the dark among the trees, and they scream at the sight. it's revealed that it was only a very grumpy Larry 3000 who came out to yell at them.
* ''WesternAnimation/TrickMoon'': Exaggerated; BigBad Dr. Bleak's entire body is coated in shadow, with his yellow eyes visibly glowing out of the darkness.

* The {{Heartless}} in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts''. The most basic mooks wear no clothes, showing them to be [[LivingShadow living shadows]], but some varieties wear robes that invoke the "black mage" look or something similar. Either way, they're also AdorableEvilMinions.

* WesternAnimation/CloneHigh: In the musical episode, ''Raisin The Stakes'', The Pusher, a mysterious drug dealer [[spoiler: who turns out to be Jack Black]] makes his first and last appearance wearing a gray hoodie with his face obscured except his glowing eyes and mouth.
* WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory: In the episode ''G.I.R.L. Squad'', Dee Dee and her friends get inspired by the school assembly on "neighborhood crime fighting" and form their own watch group. They take this too far when they start imagining that there's a sinister shadowed figure with glowing white eyes, prowling in their own neighborhood and they try to catch the suspect. [[spoiler: it turns out that it was just the friendly neighborhood gardener making his rounds.]]
