On the official Heroes 6 website, new concept art has been published, and this time we get to behold the enormous giants that have taken their place in the Orc army.
Cyclops are the Goblins' opposites. They too were a "failure" in the Orc experiment, but because they were born from the blood of major demons. The demonic part of their blood took over, and they became monstrous giants, body and mind twisted by chaotic surges.
Cyclops often measure more than 10 feet tall, and they definitely look more demonic than human. A curious trait they all share is that they have only one eye: a large, pupil-less disc, red and glowing. No one knows for sure the cause of this mutation, but a popular wizard theory claims that it is the "Mark of Chaos", a symbol of the Dragon-snake Urgash, coiled in a circle, eating its own tail.
Although they are by nature placid, with a childlike naivety, when they are hurt (physically or emotionally) they fly into an explosive and terrifying rage. This makes them dangerous to everyone, including their own kind.
While many factions would love to harness their power, only the Orcs have the strength, patience, and courage to "tame" them and give them a place in their villages as tireless workers, and on the battlefield as heavy shock troops and "siege engines".
