When assaulting a fort, cyclopes will [[Building destroyer|destroy buildings]] and pummel any [[dwarf|dwarven]] civilian unlucky enough to get in their path into mush. Their only weapon is their brute strength, as they possess no natural combat skills and lack the immunity to stunning possessed by the equally-large [[ettin]], with a well-trained [[military]] easily being able to knock a cyclops down and cause it to give in to pain before it can retaliate. They should not be underestimated, however, as they will easily tear their way through unskilled recruits.

Despite their huge size, cyclopes can be easily captured by a [[cage]] [[trap]]; however, due to the weight of the cyclops, your dwarves will [[haul]] the cage very slowly. While quite harmless inside a cage, a cyclops can prove extremely [[fun]] if released inside your fortress. Since they are intelligent, dwarves will not [[Animal trainer|train]] or [[butcher]] them, limiting their use to [[live training]] or decorating the fort by placing them somewhere to your liking.
