Kobold Press DID do a Cyclops PC race on their blog sometime last year.

Goliath sounds like a good start. Maybe replace one of their abilities (perhaps a resistance) with being able to cast augury once a day.

But Augury only works if the answer is "woe."

 

[TiQuinn]

Maybe include the Daggerheart mechanic "Blaze of Glory" but reflavor it. The player can declare that they will go out in a blaze of glory, automatic critical hit/automatic success on a skill, but then the player dies as a result of their action (retroactively explain this as the moment the Cyclops' saw his death)

Goliath with a special boon
Foresight of Death: The Cyclops is immune to fear effects and 3 times per long rest, as a reaction the Goliath gets 1d10 damage reduction from an attack it receives.
or
Tragic Fate: When the Cyclops is reduced to 0 HP, it can make one final attack with advantage as a reaction before falling unconscious.

also Uncanny Vision: advantage on perception checks
