If a creature with a gaze attack is invisible, does that nullify the ability like a veil would, or does it need to be veiled as well as invisible to nullify the ability? It isn't clear to me from the bestiary.
The PfSRD says :
A gaze attack takes effect when foes look at the attacking creature's eyes
It's hard to look someone's eyes if he is invisible, so for me, no gaze attack when invisible.

I can certainly see it working that way. What got me confused is this bit contrasted to the first bit (bolding mine):
A creature with a gaze attack can actively gaze as an attack action by choosing a target within range. That opponent must attempt a saving throw but can try to avoid this as described above. Thus, it is possible for an opponent to save against a creature's gaze twice during the same round, once before the opponent's action and once during the creature's turn.
Gaze attacks can affect ethereal opponents. A creature is immune to the gaze attacks of others of its kind unless otherwise noted. Allies of a creature with a gaze attack might be affected; these allies are considered to be averting their eyes from the creature with the gaze attack, and have a 50% chance to not need to make a saving throw against the gaze attack each round.The creature can also veil its eyes, thus negating its gaze ability.
