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 lifepoints, 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, the cyclops in the Warriors Guild is the best for clue scrolls due to it being low levelled and having a higher drop rate than most. Many players bring runes for High Level Alchemy because cyclopes, especially the level 76s, drop Steel, Black, Mithril, and some Adamant items. However, this is not entirely necessary, as the shop on the floor just below them buys all the cyclopes' drops at high alch prices.

A Ring of Wealth does not increase the chance of getting a defender, which is a drop unique to cyclopes, and thus not on the Rare drop table. Players may spend anywhere from a very few, to thousands of tokens before getting defender drops (though it would appear that the Rune defender drops more frequently than the other defenders).

Location
The two main variations of cyclopes 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, or either of these stats can be level 99. In order to enter the Cyclops area, located on the third floor, a player must gain at least 100 Warriors' Guild Tokens. 10 tokens are used up immediately upon entering the room, and then 10 more every minute. The player must leave when the tokens run out, and will be forced out if they do not do so.

A single level 56 cyclops is caged in the Ardougne Zoo, but it does not drop defenders.

Level 81 cyclopes inhabit the God Wars Dungeon in Bandos' stronghold, and therefore require a hammer and a Strength level of 70 to access. However, as with the cyclops in the Ardougne Zoo, these 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".
 * If you receive a slayer task to kill 'Hill Giants', it is possible to kill cyclopes as a substitute.
 * Harrallak Menarous addresses the cyclopes as "beasts from the east" if you ask how good he is with a sword. Since Cyclopes are not found in any natural habit (other than God Wars Dungeon, where they were sent to fight for Bandos) on Runescape, it is possible they are from the "Eastern Lands."
 * The cyclopes in the God Wars Dungeon have horns growing down on their back of their heads.
 * In the Warriors' Guild, the level 76 cyclops have hair and carry steel weaponry, while the level 56 one's don't.
