Heck, I'd accept Large monstrosity if you'd prefer, but I think I spent my monstrosity card on the Dragon Warriors!Equally importantly, what are we going to call it?Just leaving the name Cyclops won't help distinguish them from the legions of other one-eyed giants with D&D stats.Some of their one-eyed humanoid offspring are known as Amiraspians, so we could call it an Amiraspi or Amiraspian Cyclops.Or we could have some reference to their power (Hypnotic Cyclops? Mesmeric Cyclops?), preferred habitat (Cave Cyclops?) or the "One-Eye Canyon" title of the adventure (although Canyon Cyclops would conflict with the first line of the description: "Cyclops can be found in almost any terrain, including underground complexes."</blockquote>
