Cyclopses are one-eyed giants originally from the Feywild. They usually act as servitors to more powerful masters with dark ambitions. Cyclopses are the willing subjects of fomorians, whom they view as the rightful lords of the Feywild. Indeed, cyclopses believe that fomorians are divine. Thus cyclopses are the fomorians’ most valued subjects, serving as bodyguards, soldiers, and artisans—roles that fomorians consider beneath them, but which they don’t trust to faithless subjects or slaves.
Cyclopses are master craftspeople, and in the depths of the Feywild’s Underdark, their most storied elders are hard at work forging implements of immense power for their fomorian masters. Magical rings, swords with blades of lightning, and shields that can turn a dragon’s breath—these and more are gifts cyclopses lay at the feet of those they consider gods.
Cyclopses sometimes wander the world at the behest of their masters. They do so to fulfill various purposes, but they often make war on elves. On some occasions, cyclopses ally with drow. Whenever such an alliance occurs, rumors resurface of an ancient agreement between fomorians and drow referred to as the “Declaration of Eschatos.” The exact nature of this agreement and the lore it keeps safe, if any, is unknown. Whatever the hidden specifics of the accords, it seems that cyclopses aid the drow in minor raids and other evil enterprises.
Cyclopses formed on the Feywild as an unforeseen echo of ogres in the world. It is said that fomorians shaped and taught them, much as the ancient titans formed and influenced the world’s giants.
The Cyclops is a Rank D monster.
