The cyclops is one of the third-level creatures available in the Stronghold town in Heroes of Might and Magic IV.

The area attack makes this creature a great damage dealer. With proper aiming, it can clear the map of enemies surprisingly quickly. They are also expensive, have slow growth (slower than some fourth-level creatures), and few shots.

All in all, a useful unit, but if you need frontline fighters rather than ranged support, consider the ogre mage.

Abilities

	Ranged
	The Ranged ability allows this creature to attack enemies at a distance, but in melee combat this creature does half damage unless it has the Normal Melee ability.
	Area Attack
	This creature's Area Attack allows its ranged attacks to strike all targets, friendly or hostile, in a small area (3x3 yards).
