A cyclops is a 12-foot tall giant, with one eye and a horn on its head. Unlike most giants, they get along with civilized races tolerably well, often using their cultural skills as excellent metalworkers and craftsmen to make a living. In combat, they wield large one-handed hammers for devastating effect, and they can shoot magical beams of power out of their eyes. Cyclopes are prideful, constantly boasting of their skills and liking to pick on anyone smaller than their own size, but they are cowardly at heart, turning meek and desperate the moment they get seriously injured or a battle turns against them.
