Cyclops
There are two distinct races of Cyclops. The Lesser Cyclops and the Greater Cyclops:
LESSER CYCLOPS:
In appearance, Lesser Cyclops are very similar to giant versions of humans with only one eye. They live in agrarian societies usually based near a river or shore line of a body of water, as their prowess in plant and animal aquaculture is impressive and extensive.
The Lesser Cyclops will herd giant varieties of goats, cattle, and sheep to utilize as a source of food and clothing. The Lesser Cyclops dress is normally comprised of animal skins and wool. Lesser Cyclops are fine metal and stone craftsmen, these trades help to build and maintain their villages that range from 20 to 200 in number. They will trade with anyone who approaches them peacefully. Lesser Cyclops are peaceful in nature. When attacked, however, their craftsmanship in their armor and weapons is only succeeded by their ability to defend their homes and families. They are as feared as the Horde Bugbears in combat. There are solitary Lesser Cyclops who will live off the land by farming and hunting. Lesser Cyclops have a lifespan that approaches 200 years.
GREATER CYCLOPS:
Greater Cyclops are much greater in size than Lesser Cyclops. They hold malice towards everyone, including their own kind. Their powerful strength is only outmatched by their desire to be left alone. They will steal or hunt for what they need to survive. Greater Cyclops enjoy fighting, and the spoils of a fight. They have a lifespan that approaches 150 years if their ill tempers do not get them into dire trouble.
Lesser Cyclops and Greater Cyclops are mortal enemies. They will attempt to destroy one another if they come across one another. Neither Lesser Cyclops nor Greater Cyclops have the ability to cast magick, nor are they capable of possessing psionic abilities.
