My first stab at a monster chain for this system. I don't know if I'll keep the stats notation. I also don't know if I'll eventually add skills for monsters or only worry about it with NPCs.
Cyclops
C/S: 7d10
I/K: 4d6
F/F: 4d6
D: 3 (Hides)
H: 10
S: Large
A race of large, single-eyed humanoids of low intelligence, low humor, and a racial hatred of Simon and Garfunkel. (Huh. The edition of The Odyssey I had to read in high school translated Οὖτις as "No Man," but every reference I looked at just now has it as "Nobody," which completely ruins my overly convoluted joke.)
Bicyclops
C/S: 7d10
I/K: 4d6
F/F: 6d8
D: 3 (Hides)
H: 12
S: Large
The two-eyed cousin of Cyclops, the Bicyclops is considered more dangerous because of their ability to use ranged weapons effectively.
The Bicyclops is not to be confused with the
Bi-Cyclops
C/S: 7d12
I/K: 3d6
F/F: 3d6
D: 3 (Hides)
H: 15
S: Large
A two-headed Cyclops. Twice the brains, half the smarts.
According to legend, a Bicyclops pissed off the gods, who, being the petulant, childish beings that they are, cursed his children with six spider eyes, creating a race of
Tribicyclops
C/S: 6d8
I/K: 5d8
F/F: 4d6
D: 3 (Hides)
H: 8
S: Large
While Tribicyclops do not have 360° vision they are very motion sensitive, making sneaking up on them very difficult.
And finally we come to the subterranean sub-race who, like the mole, lost their eyes
Clops
C/S: 4d8
I/K: 4d6
F/F: 6d6
D: 2
H: 10
S: Large
No relation to Polyphemus.
