Monoculus is the RED Demoman's missing eye, haunted by the Bombinomicon. It was summoned by Merasmus when the RED Soldier broke his staff.

In the Bombinomicon comic, it is depicted as a large floating eye that fires purple rocket-like eyeballs.

The Monoculus will spawn at random intervals, in which the players have 1 minute 30 seconds to defeat it, or it will disappear. While the Monoculus is alive, the point is unable to be captured. It fires eye-shaped projectiles that are guaranteed critical hits. When enraged, it shoots three in quick succession. Its projectiles can be deflected, similar to Soldier Rockets.

At random intervals, it will teleport, leaving a swirling, purple vortex where it last was. Players are able to enter this vortex, and will be taken to the Underworld. Upon entering the Underworld, the player will spawn on an island taking continuous peridoic damage. Another portal will be across from the player on another island. The first player who enters this portal will stun the Monoculus for as long as it takes for him to reach the ground. Upon exiting the Underworld, a player is spawned at one end of the map, with an Uber buff, a Krit Buff, a 200% health buff, and a speed buff. Damaging Monoculus in this state stuns it.

Upon the Monoculus' defeat, it will drop an opened Bombinomicon, surrounded by a red swirling vortex. This Bombinomicon will constantly point at the player who killed the Monoculus, tilting and rotating to follow him or her. Players who enter this will again spawn in the Underworld, at the base of a hill. Ontop of the hill is a large skull, and a cage, containing the Bombinomicon. The cage slowly descends into the ground where players can collect the Bombinomicon, completing the Dive into a Good Book achievement. Some time after the book is available, the hill will be filled with explosions, killing any player still on it.

Defeating the Monoculus automatically grants the Optical Defusion achievement, and gives the player The MONOCULUS! hat.
