| Description = These floating demons are often referred to simply as floating eyes, since their head is dominated by their one massive cyclopean eye (given their life-span, it is assumed that this does not represent cyclocephaly). Possessing the abilities of both warriors and black mages, these eyes can be dangerous to attackers.

As large eyes, it is not surprising that their main body part, the [[Ahriman Lens|lens]] can be recovered from a defeated ahriman. The primary use of the lenses is to make [[Prism Powder]], a powder that can render its user essentially invisible. A number of residents of [[Vana'diel]] are also looking for these lenses. [[Ahriman Tears|Tears]] can also be collected from a defeated ahriman – although their use is generally limited to its inclusion in a [[Eye Drops|cure for blindness]]. Of final interest to those attacking these demons, is the [[Ahriman Wing]], which is used exclusively by expert alchemists.

==Historical Background==
Angra Mainyu (Avestan) or Ahriman (Middle Persian اهريمن) is the Evil equivalent of the deity Ahura Mazda in Zoroastrianism.

The name does not occur in the Old Persian inscriptions. In the Avesta he is called the twin-brother of the Holy Spirit, and contrasted with Spenta Mainyu. He is the all-destroying Satan, the source of all evil in the world and like Ahura Mazda, existed since the beginning of the world. Ahriman chose evil consciously, and created disease in order to bring death early. He did his greatest evil deed by adding colour to fire, which was pure when created by Ahura Mazda, and gave it the harsh character of smoke. Thus it is said he polluted the holy fire made by Ahura Mazda. On Judgment Day he will be defeated by Spenta Mainyu and will disappear from the present world forever. The later sect of the Zurvanites held that both were visible manifestations of the primeval principle zruvan akarana (infinite time).
