Fey are notorious for kidnapping babies and replacing them with their own, a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changeling" target="_blank">Changeling</a>.So maybe that's what these Cyclopes do. They kidnap pregnant women, and during the birth they somehow transform the baby into a cyclops?Sometimes this transformation doesn't work (resulting in a human baby that is eaten), sometimes it only half-works (resulting in a Cyclopean human).That introduces an element of "rescue the babies" to the plot, since they aren't monsters in the womb, but are turned into monsters when born.In the original adventure, what are the PCs supposed to do with the baby cyclopes most of the 1d6 pregnant ladies will give birth to? Kill them? Put them in an orphanage? Try to raise them NOT to be man-eating rapacious monsters?</blockquote>
