No matter what you folks here claim to see, about half of test subjects don't notice that someone in a gorilla suit wanders in, beats their chest, and wanders out.
I, personally, only caught the gorilla when it stopped and beat its chest. In gaming terms, I only barely made my perception check. This answers the question, "How did I miss the beholder coming into the room during the fight?"
