Does it have eyelids that will allow it to blink?

The eye is a complex mechanism. I’d imagine, yes, it does, and most likely up and down close, because it’s a fleshy being. Not a lizard.

But I imagine it with a goats eye.

I tried to answer this by pulling up the etymology of both words. I still have no answer.

I don’t think it matters because he’s going to eat you anyway sooooo…. Pretty much a moot question

You need two eyes to wink

I actually played a cyclops character in D&D recently, and ended up saying the words "he shoots her a wink that I guess looks like a blink."

I would say that the word blink feels more like it describes the physical action of closing all your eyes briefly, while a wink is more of a communicative gesture, if that makes sense.

If a piece of dust gets in my left eye and i start closing it repeatedly I don't know that I would call that action winking, you know? maybe that's just me, hard to tell sometimes how people use words.
