Cyclopes were a one-eyed giant-like creatures that appeared in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (film). Their heights range to at least ten feet tall.
It is unknown where they lived in the World of Narnia, but they were followers of the White Witch, and were very strong. They served as personal throne-bearers for her, carrying her wherever she desired.
After the Long Winter ended, all the Cyclopes in the land of Narnia traveled to the Stone Table (Walden), to gather as soldiers in the Jadis' Army (Walden). They were seen in the camp where they were preparing for First Battle of Beruna (Walden), with the Ogres, Hags, Boggles, Dwarves, Minotaurs, Minoboars, Ghouls, and Ankle Slicers.
Not all Cyclopes appear to be evil; in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (film), one is seen working in Caspian's forge.
Behind the Scenes[]
- Cyclopes are common in Greek mythology. Probably the most famous among them is Polyphemus, who was blinded by Odysseus in Homer's The Odyssey.
- As in Narnia, not all mythological Cyclopes are bad. Cyclopes worked in the forges of the deities, where they forged many weapons, including Zeus's master bolt and Poseidon's trident.
- Cyclopes can be seen in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and Wardrobe (video game), where they serve as guards of the White Witch. They appear as mini-boss battles during Peter's rescue of Edmund. The player's attacks cannot physically harm the cyclopes, similar to the Giants. Only a barrel or double-combined combat attack is effective against the cyclopes. This allows the player to defeat them and prevent Lucy and Susan from being blocked from passing through where Aslan's path is. Once player try to past through the cyclopes, they picked up Lucy like a doll. The only way to get past the cyclopes guards is to use Susan's Horn, which casts a temporary sleep spell on them. The cyclopes are possibly of a higher rank than the ogres encountered in the boss battles, but Cyclopes serve as White Witch's elite guards for boss battle
