Horned cyclopes have a rudimentary spoken language. These creatures are distantly related to other giants, and do not share their territory; nor do they share territory with their less-bestial cyclops relatives.
The horned cyclops can handle most foes with its three-clawed hands and goring head-butt; but it may also wield a large tree trunk as a club, or throw available boulders.
Combat
A horned cyclops has a satyr-like lower body with dense hair and cloven hooves. The upper body has less natural armor protection, but can usually only be reached with ranged weapons from medium-sized and smaller attackers. Normal weapons barely penetrate below the thick skin, and even an embedded spear might never reach the flesh beneath, giving the horned cyclops a DR of 5/+1.
Darkvision (Ex): Horned cyclopes have the ability to see without any light source, but only within a 30 ft. range.
Rock Throwing (Ex): Adult horned cyclopes are accomplished rock throwers and receive a +1 racial bonus to attack rolls when throwing rocks. This horned cyclops can hurl boulders of 90 to 120 lbs (Large objects) for 120 ft and 2d8+10 damage, boulders of 60 to 80 lbs (Medium-size objects) for 240 ft and 2d6+10 damage, 2 rocks of 40 to 50 lbs (Small objects) for 360 ft and 1d8+10 damage, or 2 rocks of 20 to 30 lbs (Tiny objects) for 480 ft and 1d6+10 damage.
Rock Catching (Ex): A horned cyclops can catch Tiny, Small, Medium-size, or Large rocks (or projectiles of similar shape). Once per round, the cyclops that would normally be hit by a rock can make a Reflex save to catch it as a free action. The DC is 10 for a Tiny rock, 15 for a Small rock, 20 for a Medium-size one, and 25 for a Large one. (If the projectile has a magical bonus to attack, the DC increases by that amount.) The cyclops must be ready for and aware of the attack, and its -1 DEX penalty applies to the roll.
