[366 Days of Monsters] Day 046/366 Yazurian Cyclops (Patreon)

Yazur is a 900-square-mile island off the coast of Northern Omeria. For reasons unknown, magic does not work on the island. In fact, its antimagic aura extends up to 5 miles beyond its beaches. As such, ships rarely pass through the channel east of the island. Dinzer aircraft avoid the area at all costs. And for more than thirty years now Yazur has served as a prison for dangerous mages.

But the arcoprisoners of Yazur aren't alone. The one-eyed giants of Yazur act as sentries, guardians, and often, friends to these powerless mages. Unlike the cyclopes found throughout the foothills of the Basilisk's Spine, Yazurian cyclopes shy from chaos and destruction. Certainly, they are just as stubborn and slow to understand complex ideas as their mainland cousins. However, Yazurian cyclopes refrain from being reactive. Instead, they approach the world with child-like innocence and wonder.

Sadly, Yazurian cyclopes have become an endangered species. Aegrayan poachers hunt the gentle giants for their horns, the source of their antimagic aura.
