[[File:Brighteyes.png|thumb|[[Brighteyes]] was the first jewel-eyed sauceback.]]Jewel-eyed saucebacks are derived from an offshoot of harnessback saucebacks which gained the ability to see using photoreceptors in their nostrils, which were derived from mutated chemoreceptors. They, as well as their immediate sighted ancestors and relatives, first appeared in the [[Week 26|Bonoian period]].

The first jewel-eyed sauceback, the [[brighteyes]], appeared in [[Generation 162]]. It quickly split into two major groups, the flightless monodactyl argusraptors and flighted birdlike interbiats. Their superior eyesight compared to other saucebacks allowed argusraptors to rapidly rise in prominence on the supercontinent as large carnivores, even producing [[Argantua|a giant superpredator]]. The interbiats, meanwhile, diversified into a diverse array of forms superficially resembling primitive birds, the most successful of these being the raptor-like ophreys which bore shorter tails and unidirectional lungs.
