Cyclops

Cyclops the Utahraptor.

**Cyclops** was an alpha male *Utahraptor* who lived in Vulture Valley in Vietnam.

## History

### Arrival of Vulture Squad

Cyclops and his colony were brought into Vulture Valley in Vietnam by the failure of the first USSR particle collider. A year later, an American Green Beret unit led by Kendrick Anderson was sent by General Amadeus Jericho to investigate the Russian Compound, Cyclops and his hunting party wiped out the entire platoon.

Weeks after their disappearance, Vulture Squad was called in to locate the missing Green Berets. One of Cyclops' hunting party stalked and attacked squad leader Ryan Baker, but only managed to tear Ryan's boot and cause small wounds but was driven off by the rest of the squad catching up and shooting it. The hunting party would later find a group of Russian soldiers, killing and eviscerating Aleksandr. The next day, Cyclops would catch up to Vulture Squad, ambushed Gerald Keyes when a pack of *Deinonychus* had dragged him away from his squad, pouncing on the soldier and scaring off the *Deinonychus*, Cyclops began to eviscerate him alive after closing his jaws around the soldier's throat to keep him quiet as he hid from the rest of Vulture squad and Andrei Wynn. In a burst of strength, Gerald stabbed Cyclops in the chest and caused the dromeosaur to hop up in alarm. Revealed to the soldiers, Cyclops attempted to retreat with Gerald before being tackled and stabbed in the eye by Logan Stovall, forcing him to drop his quarry and leaving the knife stuck in the socket. A hail of gunfire made Cyclops retreat into the jungle, but Cyclops did not stray far.

After regrouping with his hunting party, Cyclops pursued the men to Research Station 4, where Vulture Squad holed up to patch Gerald's wounds. Cyclops and his pack attacked, using diversionary tactics to try and divide Vulture Squad's attention. After a brief attack, Cyclops and another *Utahraptor* attempted to break through the glass pyramid on the roof, ending up on the floor disoriented alongside the rest of the hunting party while Vulture Squad escaped. Cyclops and his hunting party quickly caught back up to Vulture Squad during their retreat towards their waiting helicopter, the Father Vulture, wounding Leon and getting in a tug of war with Logan over Gerald, nearly ripping Gerald in half. Logan was forced to perform a mercy kill on Gerald and allow the pack to drag away and eat his corpse.

### Destruction of the Collider

A day later, Cyclops gathered most of the males in his colony to scavenge the dead in the Russian Compound after the a pair of *Tyrannosaurus* butchered the entire staff of the base after they killed one of their infants. While scavenging, Cyclops and his pack mates killed Jericho's Black Ops team before returning to the carcasses already present and dragging half of them back to their nesting site.

    Returning to the compound, Cyclops' hunting party discovered Vulture Squad, Wynn, Jericho, and Sergei Medvedev within the Collider Laboratory, eventually following them inside. Cyclops faced off with Ryan during the subsequent attack, tearing him in half with his killing claws as Ryan stabbed Logan's ka-bar knife deeper into the *Utahraptor's* eye and penetrated his brain, ending in both of their deaths. Their bodies were incinerated in an explosion that also destroyed the Collider.

## Personality

Cyclops was a brutal and intelligent predator. A capable learner and expert tracker, The Cyclops would study his prey to exploit their weaknesses. He was also quite brutal, preferring to eat his victims alive or leaving their still-living corpse gutted on the forest floor. The Cyclops was also relentless, as he would hunt his prey until he caught them or he died in the attempt. Prey that managed to escape him could be tracked by scent from the bites or claw marks he inflicted. When facing prey that chose to fight him, Cyclops gave no quarter and fought to the death. He also enjoyed feasting on humans, as they were easy prey by comparison with his normal meals, though he still was cautious due to their weaponry being able to hurt and kill his species. It is thought The Cyclops pursued Vulture Squad so relentlessly because he wanted to get revenge for his namesake injury.

In spite of this, the Cyclops was very dedicated to his colony, going out at night to hunt for them and bringing the young and non-hunting adults entrails and carcasses in order to feed them.
