These giants were a gift to Hephaestus by his mother Hera.
These are much more intelligent than the lesser cyclopes,
and serve the blacksmith god in his mountain and in underwater caves near the shores of some major city-states.

These cyclopes are able to live very well on land or in the water,
and spend most of their time making  javelins of lightning,
magic armor and shields, etc.
They are immune to all fire attacks,
accustomed as they are to the great heat of Hephaestus' forge.
If a mortal brings them gifts they can use,
there is a 20% chance that they will reward the mortal with one of their magic items;
there is an 80% chance they will kill the gift bringer for his presumption.
They have no qualms about using their own magic items in attack or defense.
Each greater cyclops wears a personal set of magical scale mail.
