====== Janus Cyclops ======

The **Janus Cyclops** is a subspecies of [[creatures:Cyclops]]. The smallest of the cyclops, the Janus Cyclops has lost all facial structure of their originally two eyes. Instead a pair of protective ridge bones protrude above their central eye, protecting it from damage. Other than difference in their facial bones, the Janus cyclops is indistinguishable from other Permuthian Cyclops.


===== Life Cycle =====

The Janus cyclops is also the shortest lived of all cyclops. While most Permuthian Cyclops live into their fifteenth century, a Janus Cyclops rarely reaches their first millennia. A lifespan of eight to nine-hundred years (800-900) is far more likely. Their hibernation states also reflect this being shorter in duration, with longer periods of activity.

With higher states of activity a Janus Cyclops woman is more likely to have children than others of her kind. Two to three (2-3) children are very common with four (4) children a possibility. Their children reach physical maturity faster (30 vs 40 years) and adulthood in near their sixtieth (60 year).
