Cyclopean Creature: Difference between revisions

** In the ''[[Age of Apocalypse]]'' timeline, he really did only have one eye, since Wolverine gouged out the other one.

* A couple appear, as minor characters, in ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]''. They're the kids of an isolated family living in the swamps of Louisiana, after generations of in-breeding.

 

== [[Film]] ==

* The cyclopes in ''[[The 7th Voyage of Sinbad]]'', which looked like a giant one-eyed satyr with a horn on its head. A second one also in that film is easy to spot—it has two horns.

* ''[[The Golden Voyage of Sinbad]]'' had a one-eyed centaur.

* In ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' adaptations, Sauron is represented as an enormous fiery eyeball. The Great Eye is also his symbol in the book, though he's implied to still have a physical body that presumably has two eyes.

 

* In Classic ''[[Doctor Who]]'' the ambassador from Alpha Centauri in the "Peladon" stories is from a Cyclopean species.

 

* Japanese Folklore is full of one-eyed creatures, including the Hitotsume Nyuudo (one eyed monk), the Aobozu (Blue Monk) and the Ippondatara (a giant with one eye and one leg).

 

* 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.

* 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 40,000]]'' 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.
