Cyclopskin

A cyclopskin was a smaller version of a cyclops.

Description
The typical cyclopskin stood around and weighed around. These one-eyed monsters had poor depth perception. Cyclopskin of both sexes gradually lost their hair as they got older, generally becoming fully bald by the age of 25. It was also unheard of for cyclopskin to grow any sort of facial hair. When a cyclopskin had hair, it was generally seen in an unkempt state, long and shaggy, riddled with all manner of lice and fleas.

They typically dressed in dirty garments that were made of animal hide.

Combat
In combat, most cyclopskin preferred to use bardiches, clubs, over-sized slings, and spears. The latter two were only used when needing to attack from afar or when out hunting. Because of their poor depth perceptions, cyclopskin were not good with did not use missile weapons. Thus, unlike other giant-kin, they were not skilled with throwing boulders.

History
All cyclopskin believed they descended from the strong line of Annam, but most giants suspected these runts came from one of Othea's affairs.

Society
Much like their larger cousins, cyclopskin had a highly patriarchal society, with women and children being subservient to men. The strongest among them generally assumed the leadership role and were most often killed by other members of their clan who had grown bitter from mistreatment.

Cyclopskin generally lived alone or traveled in small bands looking for prey and suitable captives.

Lycanthropy
Cyclopskin were known to be susceptible to all forms of lycanthropy and retained their distinctive single eye regardless of which form they took.

Homelands
A number of such bands lived in Starspur in the Starspire Mountains of Tethyr. They were also known to occasionally be found in the eastern region of the Hordelands.
