==Characteristics==
Cyclowns are blue humanoid creatures with cartoonish faces and two antennae on top of their heads. Their most notable feature is the cyclone that they ride around on, which completely obscures their lower body. They are elemental spirits associated with wind and they attack their foes with [[Wind Sickles|sharp, cutting gales]]. When a Cyclown is defeated in {{IX}}, their whirlwind will disappear, revealing that their lower bodies are scrawny.

Cyclowns reappear in the game from 7.4 onwards and fight the same way they later would after becoming Malicious under [[Calasmos]]'s influence, via using Wind Sickles and casting Kaswoosh. Unlike other appearances, their lips are blue, similar to their sprites in the first two Monsters series games. Prior to the update, their tornados were doll board prisms for players to use in fast transportation.
