Cyclops

Bestiary entry by Aldric Shadowmark, Grand Hunters Lodge

Classification: Giant-kin
Habitat: Islands and coastal caves
Threat Level: Dangerous

Description

One-eyed giants with a talent for crafting, cyclopes are solitary shepherds and smiths. They stand fifteen feet tall, and their single eye grants them limited prophetic abilities. Their forged items carry inherent magic.

Behavior

Cyclopes prefer isolation, tending their flocks of giant sheep. They are not aggressive unless threatened or their property is stolen. Many have deals with local communities, trading crafted goods for supplies.

Combat Notes

Their single eye is the obvious target but well-protected. Thrown boulders and shepherd crooks are devastating. Some possess minor divination - they may know you are coming. Reasoning with them often works.
