I understand it's legal to have an eye-monster that casts spell, as long as you don't call it a Beholder.

Age of Wonders has beholders; check out the level 3 unit on this page:

I believe that HoMMIII also has a beholder unit. You need to upgrade it from Evil Eye.

No, you upgrade beholders to Evil Eye in HoMM3.

Beholders also appear in the Might and Magic games, at least in M&M6, which is contemporaneous with HoMM3 in terms of the timeline.

AoW has indeed got beholders.
