In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the cyclops is a giant. There are two types of cyclopes present in the game; the smaller cyclopskin and the massive cyclops. The cyclopskin resemble 7+1⁄₂-foot-tall (2.3 m), ugly humanoids with a single bloodshot eye in the center of their foreheads. They are burly and muscular and are covered in hairs, scars, and scabs and smell of dirt and dung. Their tough, ruddy brown skin is thick and doubles as armor. Many cyclops also bear a stubby horn. The cyclops resembles closely its cyclopskin cousins but is much larger, growing up to forty feet tall. It is also much more savage and bestial.
