Cyclops

Cyclopes are basically large humanoids with only a single eye. The earth shakes while they move around. Cyclopes are extremely aggressive, and once they have spotted someone they see as prey, they have no qualms about beating their victim to death with their clubs. Only experienced adventurers with good weapons should dare to challenge more than one Cyclops at a time to a life-or-death battle.

Cyclopes are found in caves and dungeons, or near the mountains. They often travel in groups, and have been seen in the past with Gazers and Zorns. They are likely distantly related to other kinds of giants.

According to the cyclops Iskander in Ultima VII, two hundred years is not considered old for one of his race.

Notable examples

 * In Ultima VII, the Avatar meets Iskander, one of the few friendly Cyclopes he ever met, in the Dungeon Deceit. Iskander explains to him the defense mechanism of the Guardian's generator in that dungeon.
