The Cyclops is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Cyclopses are hulking demons with blue skin, have a singular eye with a red iris, and a horn on top of their heads. Originally depicted as weaponless, these demons bring more brawn than brains to the battlefield. The giants wear simple tunics made from shaggy brown fur that only cover their right shoulders and a brown leather belt around their waists. In some games, they have been known to leave behind their clubs or fur vests for adventurers to use. Cyclopes are mythical creatures originating from Greek and Roman mythology. Three different varieties of cyclopes can be distinguished; Brontes, Steropes and Arges are featured in Hesiod's Theogeny, in Homer's Odyssey they are depicted as uncilivised shepherds, and lastly the builders who constructed the eponymous Cyclopean walls of Mycenae and Tiryns.
