Cyclops

Description
Cyclopses are basically big giants with only one eye. The earth shakes while they move around. Cyclopses are extemely agressive, and once they have spotted someone they see as prey, they will have no qualms beating their victim to death with their clubs. Only experienced adventurers with good weapons should dare to challange more than one Cyclops a time to a battle for life or death.

Cyclopses are found in caves and dungeons, or near the mountains.

Evolution in the series

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