Cacophonie: Cyclopes can spawn in orcish mines now, they have flocks of dream sheep instead of regular sheep, and repel missiles spell isn't in the game now, although there are still non-spell sources of it.

 *Hide around corners and attack them at close range. Any form of [[Repel Missiles#Player sources|RMsl]], such as a [[Scarf#Ego|scarf of repulsion]], will also help. If there are other monsters around, you can use them to block line of fire until the cyclops comes within range.
-*Cyclopes have pretty lousy MR; [[confusion|confusing]] them will eliminate most of the harm they can do to you.
+*Cyclopes have lousy [[willpower]]; using hex [[wand]]s with even a little bit of [[evocations]] training is likely to work against them.
 *As you might expect, they can't [[see invisible]], so quaffing a [[potion of invisibility]] can let you escape in a dire situation.
 ==Trivia==
-The presence of sheep and yaks is a reference to Homer's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Odyssey ''The Odyssey''], where cyclopes are presented as shepherds.

 ==Useful Info==
-'''Cyclopes''' are slow, hard-hitting giants that are a menace at range. They usually generate with three or four [[large rock]]s on hand, which they will happily hurl at you from range. Cyclopes can appear alone or with a herd of [[dream sheep]] or [[yak]]s around them, and can be most commonly found in the late [[Dungeon]], [[the Vaults]], the [[Orcish Mines]] and [[the Shoals]].

 ==Tips & Tricks==
-Hide around corners and attack them at close range or cast [[Deflect Missiles]] if you're a mage. Any form of [[Repel Missiles]], such as a [[Scarf#Ego|scarf of repulsion]] will also help. If there are other monsters around, you can use them as a shield, and hopefully the cyclops will kill them for you.
