A giant with one eye in the centre of its forehead. Despite their lack of binocular vision, cyclopes throw boulders with fearsome accuracy.

Useful Info

Cyclopes are slow, hard-hitting giants that are a menace at range. They usually generate with three or four large rocks on hand, which they will happily hurl at you from range. Cyclopes can appear alone or with a herd of sheep or yaks around them, and can be most commonly found in the late Dungeon, the Vaults and the Shoals.

Tips & Tricks

Hide around corners and attack them at close range or cast Repel/Deflect Missiles if you're a mage. If there are other monsters around, you can use them as a shield, and hopefully the cyclops will kill them for you.

Trivia

The presence of sheep and yaks is a reference to Homer's The Odyssey, where cyclopes are presented as shepherds.
