A cyclopean is a brutish and disturbing , and many of them infest the islands even though they have no mastery of boats or swimming. With no head, one of the creature's eyes sits on the right shoulder while the other wide eye sits on the left shoulder. A sideways mouth constantly moves and mumbles on each flank. They are named for having one eye and mouth on each side of their body.
Motive: To eat!
Environment: Except for very cold or hot climes, cyclopeans can be found anywhere. (Other)
Health: 25
Damage: 6 points
Armor: 2
Movement: Short
Modifications: Because of size, Speed Defense is 4
Combat: The creature will try to scoop up PCs, two at time if they are in immediate distance from each other. If a character does manage to wound the beast, it can make a backhand attack that knocks the target down for 8 Might damage.
Interactions: An uncharted island looks safe enough for hunting and restocking, but then the trees move and scream—in stereo—and it chills you to the bone
Uses: The brutes can be cannon fodder - of the large variety. There's no reason not to use them as an homage that puts a twist on the solution to escaping the cave.
GM Intrusion: A hero overreaches with their thrust and the cyclopean bites for a moderate wound (4 points).
