Rock Throwing (Ex): Adult cyclopes are accomplished rock throwers and receive a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls when throwing rocks. A lesser cyclops can hurl rocks weighing 40 to 50 pounds each (Small objects) with a range increment of 140 feet and a maximum range of five range increments.

Rock Catching (Ex): A cyclops can catch Small, Medium-size, or Large rocks (or projectiles of similar shape). Once per round, a cyclops that would normally be hit by a rock can make a Reflex save to catch it. The DC is 15 for a Small rock, 20 for a Medium-size one, and 25 for a Large one. (If the projectile has a magical bonus on attacks, the DC increases by that amount.) The giant must be ready for and aware of the attack.

Lesser cyclopes are monstrous brutes that enjoy eating human brains. They are easily tricked, but they fight fiercely and to the death.
