I imported a character into Unity and turned him into a prefab. I couldn't get my custom "Look-At" script to work for the eyes, which are children of the prefab I imported. So I opened the prefab and discovered (to my HORROR) that I am unable to transform his eyes AT ALL, even in the prefab-view. It's like his body parts are made of stone, or something! I checked his eyes in the Blender scene and don't see any animation data attached to them. So how could this happen? How can I fix it?

The eyes ARE children of a bone called "root", which I don't think has any keyframes in any animation. Further, all my bones imported as empties.

Right click the sub-object in prefab-view, choose "Unpack Prefab".

I ask a lot of questions with simple solutions but I didn't find any other questions describing this kind of problem. I will keep this up in case somebody else is having the same problem.

It appears that this character is set up with an Animator. This animator controls the transforms of all the sub-objects, which is why you can't change those manually. It is recommended that you control this characters individual parts using the animation system. But if you really don't want that, then you can find and remove the animator component. That should allow you to freely manipulate all the sub-objects.
