History Main / Cyclops

* ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTournamentFighters'': In the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Genesis]] version, the "Magma Ocean Planet" stage has a gigantic cyclops lava monster in the background.

* In the ''VideoGame/XenaWarriorPrincess'' game for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation, a cyclops guards King Valarian's island stronghold in the ''Isle of Kronos'' stage. In a ShoutOut to ''Film/The7thVoyageOfSinbad'', he has one horn on his forehead, and if the player uses the "chakram-cam" feature, it can be seen that he has satyr-like legs similar to [[Creator/RayHarryhausen Harryhausen]]'s cyclopes.

* ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'': Eggplant Wizards are cycloptic purple wizards with the power to turn Pit into an eggplant. They've been in every Kid Icarus game to date, and one was a recurring villain on ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Jumanji}}'': The Draken from "Eye of the Sea" is a one-eyed sea monster.

* ''VideoGame/RagingBlades'' has a chubby but {{acrofatic}} cyclops as a boss, who alternates between using his [[DropTheHammer hammer]] to squish you or jumping around to flatten you with his gut as attacks.

* ''Anime/{{Bakugan}}'' has Billy's guardian bakugan Cycloid, a giant one-eyed creature modeled after the ones from the Greek Mythology. His signature weapon is his [[DropTheHammer hammer]].

* ''Film/MonsterBrawl'': One of the combatants is a cyclops who works as a blacksmith in his spare time and enters the ring with [[DropTheHammer a hammer]]. He can also shoot EyeBeams out of his eye.

[[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Mike Wazowski]], [[Film/{{Krull}} Rell]], and [[Manga/MonsterMusume Manako.]]]]

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'':
** Mike. He basically consists of a [[{{Oculothorax}} giant eye, a mouth underneath, and limbs]].
** Mike's girlfriend Celia fits as well, being a GorgeousGorgon with just one eye.
** [[ConjoinedTwins Terri and Terry]] from [[WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity the prequel]] also count.
** Mike also owns a one-eyed teddy bear named Little Mikey.

* ''Literature/TheDivide'': There's a female cyclops by the name of Turpsik in the second book, who writes extremely depressing poetry.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten}}'' [[CollectionSidequest Monstermon card]] Cyclops Duckling. The reason it only has one eye is [[EyeScream because the other one was pecked out by a bigger duckling]].

* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' features multiple such characters, such as Saffi, Mrs. Molotov, Dorkus, Butley the butler[[note]]except for the occasional OffModel moment when he's drawn with two eyes[[/note]], various background characters, and many of the animals (including Jimmy's dog Cerbee).

* The ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' series: Wetmen appear in ''VideoGame/Shantae2002'', ''VideoGame/ShantaeHalfGenieHero'' and ''VideoGame/ShantaeAndTheSevenSirens'', and they have the same appearance, as a blue, bipedal and pincer-ed enemy with a thick long neck that connects to just an eyeball with what looks like three teeth.

** The orc god Gruumsh alternates between being portrayed as a cyclops-orc or simply having just one working eye (the other supposedly shot out by the elf god Corellon Larethian).

%%* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'': Cyclopes are pretty common enemies.

%%* ''Webcomic/ThePropertyOfHate'': Madras.

* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': Bartholemew, Kayla's pet, is a one-eyed BlobMonster.

* ''ARG/TheNoedoleckinArchives'': Kirk Odd's distinguishing feature is the single bulbous eye in the middle of his face.

Monocular vision is symbolic of metaphorical narrow vision and lack of depth perception. As such, many human villains have one eye as an indication of their simplistic worldview. This also provides an excuse for an EyepatchOfPower. Characters who lack perspective on a temporary basis might sport PeekABangs or some other ocular obtrusion.

* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'' has a variant with Ash; she has PeekABangs, but as revealed in "[[Recap/FinalSpaceS2E5TheNotoriousMrsGoodspeed The Notorious Mrs. Goodspeed]]", there's absolutely no eye underneath them, so her left eye is the only one she has. [[spoiler:At the end of "[[Recap/FinalSpaceS2E5ChangeIsGonnaCome Change is Gonna Come]]", [[BigBad Invictus]] restores her missing eye and gives her a new hairstyle to go with it.]]

Oh, wait, were you looking for [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops that guy with the visor]]?

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'': A cyclops appears as the bouncer on [[BadGuyBar the Poisoned Apple]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Numberjacks}}'', the Problem Blob has one eye on the end of a stalk ''in his mouth''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'': Massmouth, from the GameMod series ''VideoGame/TheAdventuresOfMassmouth'', is an alien with a single eye on an eyestalk. (He was originally a ''VideoGame/QuakeII'' skin.) He also appears as a bot in ''Skulltag'', a source port focused on multiplayer, where one of his lines is a complaint about his lack of peripheral vision.
