Cyclops

The cyclops is an evil, one-eyed giant that originally came from the Feywild. They usually serve as bodygaurds, blacksmiths, and soldiers for more powerful masters.

Physical characteristics
Cyclops are one of the smallest type of giant-kin,standing only 7-8 feet tall and weigh 800 lbs, but are as strong as the average hill giant. Both males and females are bald and have spiked heads instead of hair. Cyclops have earthy skin tones that blend with their surroundings. Their eye tends to be the same as the color of their skin.

The most peculiar and distinguishing thing about cyclops is the fact that they only have one large eye in the middle of their forehead. This eye is rumored to cause fear in any who look at it. Their one-eye gives them poor depth percepition therefor they can't use missile weapons very well.

Abilities
Cyclops can throw boulders like all giant-kin, but with less accuracy then normal do to their one-eye. they have great strengh and make excellent warriors, they are also very intellegent and make good wizards and clerics. Cyclops that live in the underdark can move rather stealthy and are accustomed to the darkess of the underworld. They are also amazing blacksmiths and craft many powerful things for their masters.

Psychology
Cyclops are taught that they should listen unfailingly to their asters but always to take command of those weaker then themselves. They admire physical and mental fitness and will act as loyal servitors to those who can bend their will. The one-eyes brutaly beat any slave that does not follow its command. They hate most other races and are unwilling to work with goodly ones. They trust only themselves and their masters, forging alliances that they know they have the upper hand on.

Culture
Cyclops society is on of servitude, but not necessarily slavery. They do not have any kingdoms of their own but have helped create the beautiful cities that their masters live in. From an early age they are taught that are a great race and only worthy creatures (those that are stonger then them) can become their masters. the one-eyes are arrogant and ambitious but do not ovrestep their bonderies. Cyclops will stab their superiors in the back and crush their inferiors with without a thought. They are rude, cruel, and mean to all but them selves and their masters.

Religion
Cyclops worship Grolantor because they find his power and might over giant-kin very wonderful. His cyclopian clergy is obbessed at making him pleased and his clerics are constantly preaching his words.

Cyclops that have master of different races worship different dieties, such as Lolth, Gruumsh, Thrym, Bane, or Shar. These cyclops are not as devoted as they are to Grolantor but worship them none the less becase that is what their master desire.

Craft
Cyclopsmake many different and powerful magical and non-magical items in nature. They forge mithral armor and and adamite blades with ease. Their most proficient blacksmiths can forge rings of great magical power and swords with bades of lightning.

The one-eyes also make magical clothing such as gloves, cloaks, boots, belts, and robes. Cyclopians also brew deadly poisons that can kill somebody with only a drop.

Relationships with other races
Cyclops hate most races but like all gaint-kin they hate the dwarf most of all. They generally keep orcs, goblins, ogres, and bugbears as slaves.

Common cyclopian allies (masters) are drow and formians.
