独眼巨人(Cyclops)和地精正相反。他们同样是兽人实验中的“失败品”,但造成这一情况的原因却是大型恶魔的血脉。他们血液中恶魔的那一半成为了主宰,于是他们变成了畸巨的庞然大物,身体和精神同时被混乱的冲动所扭曲。独眼巨人通常有十尺以上的身高,看上去像恶魔远多过像人类。他们所共有的一个有趣的特征就是他们只有一只眼睛:一只巨大的、没有瞳孔的、散发着红光的眼睛。没人知道这种变异从何而来;一种较受巫师公认的理论认为这来自“混乱之印(mark of Chaos)”,环状的自噬之蛇,龙神鄂加斯的徽记。虽然天性平和而且思维像孩子一样简单,在他们受伤了的时候(生理上和心理上都可以)他们会进入一种爆炸性的、可怖的愤怒状态。这使得他们对包括同族在内的所有人都是危险的存在。虽然很多小说里都喜欢驾驭他们力量的情节,事实上只有兽人有这种力量、耐心和勇气去“驯化”他们,并且在村庄中给他们作为“劳力”所应有的地位——以及在战场上,作为重型突击队和“攻城武器”。怒目独眼(Enraged Cyclops)是独眼巨人的升级形态。
Cyclops are the opposite of Goblins. They too were a "failure" in the Orc experiment, but because they were born from the blood of major demons. The demon 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. Though they are by nature calm with a child-like simplicity, when they are hurt (physically or emotionally), they develop an explosive and terrifying rage. This makes them dangerous to everyone, their own kind included. 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 "power workers", and on the battlefield as heavy shock troops and "siege engines". The Enraged Cyclops is the upgraded Cyclops.
