The OP here brings to mind one of the oddest creatures of the ocean deeps. It's a squid which has huge eyes that did not develop from, nor do they relate to, the optic tissue that is prevalent in the eyes of all other creatures. Instead, it arises from aural tissue. Named Squidius bogartii, it is known among scientists studying them as the "Ears looking at you squid."
