If you come to think of It, we have never see gremlins unmasked! Menders wear hoods, Seerus wears his mask, mortars have their helmets over their eyes and everyone else wears goggles!
Discuss!
How come we have never seen Gremlins' eyes?

Hexzyle, only the gremlins with ginger fur have no souls...

Warmaster Seerus has these hypnosis-themed eyes. I'm not sure if it's just goggles under his mask, though.

Maybe some nanogenes landed on the Cradle, saw a dead Gremlin with Goggles on and - since they had never met a Gremlin before now - thought that was how all Gremlins were supposed to be. And so they multiplied and went forth; to make all Gremlins look as they were supposed to look. And once they were done, all Gremlins had goggles; and when the babes were born, they too had goggles.
But the nanogenes could not cover the entire planet, for they were wiped out by an errant solar flare from a nearby star before every Gremlin was returned to normality. And so there remains a few Gremlins scattered around the deepest, darkest parts of the Clockworks. Skittish creatures, urged to run away from even their own kind by stories handed down to each generation from the last; dark, horrible, exaggerated stories where an innocent Gremlin would simply keel over from mere contact with a begoggled Gremlin, and then slowly, painfully grow his own pair of goggles. After this transformation was complete the newly-changed Gremlin would begin walking back to a central place, to join with others of its own kind, to join with the hive-mind.
And in the end it didn't even matter. Every last trace of the nanogenes are blasted from this world. Their transportation lost to the Clockworks. The Gremlins lead to believe that this was how they always were. And the lost Gremlin have had their sight degraded from lurking in the darkness of Cradle for far too long; their vision worse than if they were wearing cumbersome goggles.
Of course, that is not to say there isn't some Gremlins living on the great plains of Cradle. You just can't see them past your goggles.

But...
@Ink-Incorporated
I know but he just won't take off that mask! I want to see a gremlin's whole face, not just Seerus's creepy insane eyes!
@Ghret
But menders and mortars aren't wearing goggles, their eyes are covered by their hoods and helmets! Here's a hole in your theory!

Why can't we see Knights' eyes?

Maybe...
Maybe all gremlins are mutated Spiral Knights. And the guys from the Spiral order control all gremlins by using Seerus (as Ink said, the "eyes" on his mask are "hypnosys..."). If the Spiral order controls gremlins, it means they have control over constructs too (RT project). But they don't want us to know...they send the gremlins against us- we kill them, they kill us...and gremlins' eyes are covered because they're the only Knight-ish left in their appearance- the Spiral Order hides it. They don't want us to know. They want to kill everything on Cradle using us.

I don't know, even though I suspect that those colored circles on their faces even though odd looking might be either eyes or a terrible allergic rash from the Gremlins.

We can. The eyes you see are actually the knight's biological eyes.

meeehhh
I have seen some well, adult fan art of them were they have the solid black pupil style to them but I honestly think they just have normal eyes with silver/white/gray irises.
Either way I do want one...

Gremlins may remove their goggles so that the light hits their eyes unfettered; but to do so is akin to peeling away your skin so you can feel the wind against your nerves.

What if, the knights' eyes radiate a pulse of provoking feeling, that's why we get a lot of feral and rabid monsters that only come to attack us, especially when we approach them. That said, the monsters have to kill you all, and when they knock you down, they lost that illusion of knights being the bad guys, thus they won't eat us up.
What if, gremlin goggles are meant to protect themselves from the illusion, and they were there to exterminate knights free from the world.

If they are wearing goggles then why are they STILL trying to kill the knights?

I think Gremlins wear goggles
I think Gremlins wear goggles because they love to swim

Perhaps they view knights as evil creatures instead, so an army was raised to massacre the knights. By basic respect, they won't chop up your body lying on the ground.
The goggles protect them from illusions that enrage them and make them feral, so that's why they are still so tactful and perform actions such as dodging.

What if they are blind and they use goggles to see?
Mon, 07/08/2013 - 08:54

It's possible due to their synthetic/bio-engineered nature that the goggles are actually their only method of sight, and they don't even have eyes.
I'm stating so many spoilers and no-one even realises it :P

Lol rule 3.. wait.. nvm
Eyes are the windows to the soul. Maybe since gremlins don't have souls, they don't have eyes either? /shrug
