OP Themilom, this hodag and certainly the cave hodag seems to be the only creature that might, possibly, exist, or something anyway with light-giving eyes. Are you sure no one ever really saw one ?
In deep seas there are animals that give light. Would it not be probably so there are similar ' life forms 'in caves as well?
Code:"In deep seas there are animals that give light. Would it not be probably so there are similar ' life forms 'in caves as well?" Well that depends, BranShea. How flexible are your semantic parameters for a Hodag? Thirty years ago I was wading through Gross-Skeleton Cave when my carbide light suddenly went out. But before I could curse my fate I said "Wow!". All around me were hundreds of tiny lights, blinking on and off. I was King Kong standing tall but bewildered in a well-lit big city. I tried to get a close look at one of these little lights, but as I approached, each would blink off. What I saw was, of course, an example of bioluminescence; hundreds of little gnat sized creatures washed in from the forest outside, each blinking his own light. And such a pretty blue-green light. Back with more in a minute.

Your report is nice and understandable enough. Pretty blue-green light. I can imagine the scene.
And thanks for making me practise that code stuff again.
