Line 31:
* B.O.B. in ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]''.
* Many of the minions in ''[[Despicable Me]]''.
* There is a giant cyclops in ''[[Hercules (Disney1997 film)||Hercules]]'' as one of the Titans. The series also included smaller cyclopes. The Fates from the same movie also shared one eye between the three of them, with one even having only one eye socket in the middle of her face.
* Agent Wendy Pleakley from ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]''.
* The Bert I. Gordon film ''The Cyclops'', although there, the titular beast is a normal (albeit giant) man who is just missing his left eye due to half his face having melted off (similar to Gordon's ''[[War of the Colossal Beast]]'').
Line 50:
* The Cyclopean Ghoul in the ''Earthdawn'' supplement ''Scourge Unending''.
* ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]'' supplement ''Pursuit to Kadath'', adventure "The All Seeing Eye of the Alskali". The title Alskali monsters, whose single eye can hypnotise their victims.
* ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' has had a variety of cyclops:
** [[Greek Mythology]] version in the 1st Edition ''Deities and Demigods Cyclopedia''
** Cyclopskin (cyclops kin) in the 1E Monster Manual 2.
* In ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'' one of the Ogre kiths is the Cyclopean. They almost always have a missing eye and their mien makes it look like one central eye. They do come in other varieties though.
* In ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' the [[Authority Equals Asskicking|Primarch]] of the [[Cosmic Plaything|Thousand Sons]] was [[Anti-Villain|Magnus the Red]], whose defining features were [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|coppery red skin]], [[Meaningful Name|being a giant]] and having just one eye. However, it is no longer known for certain wether he was a Cyclops, [[Eyeless Face|had only one orbit]] or [[Boring but Practical|simply lacked one eye]]. However, now that he is a [[One-Winged Angel|Demon Prince]] of [[Lovecraftian Superpower|Tzeentch]], it is probably quite hard to say if this still applies or if it is something special.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 71:
* The Inkies and their leader in ''[[De Blob]]'' have one eye, which also functions as a mouth, or at least it flexes when they talk.
* In the ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' game for the [[PlayStation]], a cyclops guards King Valarian's island stronghold in the ''Isle of Kronos'' stage. He tosses rocks at Xena from afar before climbing up to confront her at the top of a cliff. In a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[The 7th Voyage of Sinbad]]'', he has one horn on his forehead and if the player uses the "chakram-cam" feature it can be seen he has satyr-like legs similar to [[Ray Harryhausen|Harryhausen's]] cyclopes.
* ''[[Jackie ChansChan's Action Kung Fu]]'': Nyudo Monster, the fourth stage boss.
* ''[[Space Harrier]]'' had one-eyed woolly mammoths.
* Fleepa, Optomon and the [[Final Boss]] in ''[[The Guardian Legend]]''.
Line 84:
* Leela of ''[[Futurama]]'', who initially was presented as a member of an unknown alien race, but turned out to be a human mutant.
* Saffi, Cerbee, and Dorkus on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''.
* Biclops on ''[[Chalk ZoneChalkZone]]'' only had one eye before Rudy drew him his second one.
* Kang and Kodos from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' [[Halloween Special]]s.
* A Cyclops appears on the ''[[Shrek]]'' movies as the bouncer on [[Bad Guy Bar|The Poisoned Apple]].
