DARKEIM's Mountain Cyclops coming in July!!!
Added 2023-06-23 20:31:42 +0000 UTCThe world as it is known, the Mortal Coil, is treacherous enough as it is, but even the eerily silent mountain ranges are home to abominable horrors. Horror stories foretell of cyclops-like monsters, possibly once human men now transformed into hideous beings, driven to isolation and starved for mortal flesh. If they are still human, then they have been cursed as hulking mockeries of humanity that resort to wanton cannibalism, supposedly further altering their forms until they are giant mindless fiends of evil.
A Mountain Cyclops make their home within the mountains, a craggy lair of dangerous footing and crude traps. You will know you're near when the scent of blood permeates the air, and bones litter the stone spires around you. If the traps don't catch you, then the Mountain Cyclops will, and it will be eager to devour you alive. Getting too close will cause it to grapple you and attempt to take an enormous bite. Its thick tail can strangle victims, drag them off to its lair, attack as an extra limb, or stabilize itself across its mountainous environment. The cycloptic eye stares with malevolent hate, inducing a supernatural fear in most normal creatures, and allows it to see at an incredible distance and clarity. Mountain Cyclops' have such dense powerful musculature, their strikes can cause armor to warp, bones break, and flesh is instantly tenderized. They possess a strong regeneration rate, which is made more powerful when consuming human flesh.
Even at their relatively small size, compared to most monsters, a Mountain Cyclops has the strength and wrath powerful enough to shape mountains, destroy villages, and even go toe-to-toe with a Mythoslayer.
