Watchers and Vigilants are a class of daedra originating from Apocrypha with an unmistakable appearance: they are floating spheres with countless tentacles sprouting from all sides and large central eyes, with keen intelligence and fearsome magical abilities.
From Watchers mod page:
"Watchers are commonly found in Apocrypha, and are a perfect expression of this strange realm: they look like spheres with a large, all-seeing central eye, and additional small eyes distributed around this central core. Their bodies are covered by tentacles of different sizes that move slowly in the air helping the creature to float around the infinite corridors of the forbidden realm of knowledge.
They have considerable magical abilities, being generally skilled in the use of electricity
