Warnings: Bad use of vocabulary!!! Ahhh! Okay. So. The term "cyclopic" really refers to a specific disease called cyclopia, wherein the victim has only one eye because the optic cavities merged together or whateverrrr… BUT "cyclopic" can also mean "of or relating to a Cyclops," and since Cyclops only have one eye, then it can mean having one eye! ^_^;; If I wanted to be technical, the true term would be "monocular." But it didn't fit the rhythm. **sniff** Aaaanywayyyyy. ^_~
