* Mike from [[Monsters, Inc.]]: He basically consists of a giant eye, a mouth underneath, and limbs.Mike's girlfriend Celia fits as well. Also, the logo of the titular company.
* 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.
** So does 2007's TMNT.
* The Cyclopes in ''[[The City of Lost Children]]'' are a group of religious zealots who are all blind and see through the aid of [[Star Trek:

* B.O.B. in ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]''.
* Many of the minions in ''[[Despicable Me]]''.
* There is a giant cyclops in ''[[Hercules (Disney 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]]'').
** The scarred, one-eyed Glenn Manning in that film also probably counts.

** There were two types--one group were people-eating giants, the others were also giants, but worked in Hephaestus' forges.
** The other kind of giants were the Hekatonkheires, hundred-armed giants. Now imagine a Hekatonkheir playing tennis against a Cyclops...

* Massmouth, from the ''[[Doom]]'' [[Game Mod]] series ''The Adventures of MassMouth''. (He was originally a [http://planetquake.gamespy.com/View.php?view=ModeloftheWeek.Detail&id=28 Quake II skin].) He also appears as a bot in ''Skulltag'', a source port focused on multiplayer, where one of his lines is a complaint about his lack of peripheral vision.

* Cyclopes in ''[[Rift]]'' seem to be denizens of the [[Dishing Out Dirt|Plane of Earth]]. They're built along the same large and solid lines as [[Proud Warrior Race|bahmi]] (although they tend to be even taller), but have ivory-yellow skin, vaguely bestial features, and the definitive single, centrally-positioned eye.
* Polyphemus the Cyclops from the Odyssey appears as a boss in ''[[Titan Quest]]''. You also meet some other cyclops while ascending {{spoiler|Mount Olympus}}.
* A Cyclops (which is heavly based on the one from ''[[The 7th Voyage of Sinbad]]'') appears as the first boss in ''[[Will Rock]]'', capable of hitting you from far away by spitting stones at you. It becomes a [[Degraded Boss]] soon enough.
* The boss enemy Gorpus from ''[[Musashi: Samurai Legend]]'' is a gigantic scorpion with a single huge eye hidden under his helmet.
* In the NES game ''Day Dreamin' Davey'', there is a Cyclops that Davey has to destroy by attacking his eye in one Greek mythology stage. Of course, that "Cyclops" in his imagined state [[Would Hit a Girl|turns out to be a girl whom he just hit in the eye in class]]! [[Oh Crap]]!
* 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 [[Play Station]], 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
