One great eye, lidless, wreathed in flame, whose gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh. If nothing else, that's kinda creepy, good scare tactic.
An eye because that means he's looking, searching everywhere, and I mean everywhere for his Ring. "You cannot hide. I see you." "If I put it on, he'll find me. He'll see."
One because that shows how single minded he is in his persuit. "He is seeking it, seeking it. All his thought is bent on it."
(Sorry I can't think of any more quotes from the book, but that why I think he's an Eye.)
