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 dream sheep or yaks 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 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.
They have a pretty lousy MR, confusing them will eliminate most of the harm they can do to you.
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 The Odyssey, where cyclopes are presented as shepherds.
