Janus Cyclops

The Janus Cyclops is a subspecies of 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.

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).
