ぎょろぎょろ

gyoro-gyoro

Looking around with big, restless eyes

Rolling large, bulging eyes around restlessly — glancing about with big, intense eyes. More intimidating than kyoro-kyoro; a single piercing glare is gyorori.

💡A suspicious person scanning the area — 'His big eyes darted gyoro-gyoro around the room.'

Example
