Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Heroes of Might and Magic VI
Cyclopes are the opposite of Goblins. They were also a "failure" in the Orc experiment,
but because they were born from the blood of elder demons. The demonic part of the
blood seized control and they became monstrous giants, their body and mind
corrupted by chaotic waves.
The height of Cyclopes often exceeds 3 meters, and they definitely look
more demonic than human. Their curious feature is a single
eye: a huge, red and glowing disc with a small pupil. No one
knows exactly the cause of the mutation, but a popular theory among mages states
that it is the "Sign of Chaos", the symbol of the Dragon-serpent Urgash, coiled into a circle, devouring its own tail.
Although they are, by nature, calmed with childlike naivety, when they are
offended (physically or emotionally), they acquire an explosive and
terrifying fury. This makes them dangerous to everyone, including their
own kind.
While many factions would like to use their strength, only the Orcs
had enough strength, patience, and courage to "tame" them and give them a place in
their settlements as "strong workers" and on the battlefield, as heavy
shock troops and "siege engines".
