Cyclops

A cyclops (plural cyclopes) is a monster found on the top floor of the Warriors' Guild and some other places. In the Warriors' Guild, many players fight them in hopes of getting a defender, as they are the only monsters that drop them. Cyclopes come in two varieties in the guild: Level 56 and Level 76. They have low defence and a reasonably high number of hitpoints, making them a very good training monster. However, they are immune to ranged and magic. The level 56 cyclopes are the lowest level monster to drop level 3 Clue scrolls, although they do not drop them often. Many players bring runes for High Level Alchemy because cyclopes, especially the level 76s, drop Steel, Black, Mithril, and some Adamant items.

A Ring of Wealth does not appear to increase the chance of getting a defender, which is a rare drop. Several players have spent over 1500 tokens, and never seen one.

Location
The two main variations of cyclops may be found in the Warriors' Guild. To get inside the Warriors' Guild, a player's Attack and Strength levels must add up to a sum of 130 or greater. In order to enter the Cyclops area, located on the second floor, a player must gain at least 100 Warriors' Guild Tokens. When inside the room, 10 tokens are used up every minute, and the player must leave when the tokens run out. In the room where cyclopes are, there is a big eye, which may be refer to their one eye.

A single Cyclops is caged in Ardougne Zoo, but these cyclopes do not drop defenders.

Level 81 cyclopes inhabit the God Wars Dungeon, but these too do not drop defenders.

Trivia

 * In Grim Tales, Sylas informs the player that he has a prized possession, the skull of a mutant cyclops with two eyes instead of one. The player suggests that he has a skull of a regular two-eyed giant, but he rejects this idea.
 * Many people believe "cyclops" means "one eye", but the word is actually derived from the Greek for "round eye". In the Greek legend, the Cyclops' single eye was indeed round. Greek is also the origin for the English plural of "cyclops": "cyclopes" [sigh-CLOE-peez], not "cyclopses". When you talk to Kamfreena outside the cyclopes' room in the Warriors' Guild, she will correct you when you say "cyclopses".
