## Appearance

Tyson is two meters tall (though he can grow up to 30 feet tall at will), and very broad-shouldered. He has very messy brown hair and one large brown eye, but he appears to have two because of the Mist in the mortal world and in Poseidon's forges. He is known for not brushing his teeth.

## Personality

At his introduction, Tyson is a childish and clumsy Cyclops who is known for crying and at times appears to be dense at a glance. Sometimes he forgets his own strength (e.g. when he hugs Percy, who feels as if his ribs are breaking). Tyson is somewhat naive in *The Sea of Monsters* as Polyphemus is able to trick him into lowering his defenses. He is also not sure of himself, as seen in *The Sea of Monsters*.

In spite of his naiveté and seeming density, Tyson is smarter than he seems and very determined. In **The Battle of the Labyrinth**, he has matured, though he still retains his innocence. He noticed the real reason why Percy cannot tell anyone about Nico being the son of Hades. ​​​​​​Tyson's earnest attitude reminds Briares who he really is and decides to help Camp Half-Blood as a result.

Tyson cares a great deal about his friends and is willing to risk his life for them if necessary. He shows a strong love for pegasi and hippocampi (which he calls "chicken ponies" and "fish ponies" respectively), though the former are nervous around him. In order to protect himself and his friends, Tyson began to take on the stance of a leader in *The Last Olympian* and becomes less of a child in Poseidon's eyes as well.

### Fears

Tyson is terrified of Grover because the "itchy goat fur" makes him sneeze, but as he got over it to maintain their friendship it is possible that he has gotten over his fear of Satyrs completely.

Furthermore, Tyson is very much terrified of everything related to death, such as the skeleton warriors aboard Clarisse's ship and initially Nico.

## Main Skills and Equipment

**Cyclops Physiology**: Tyson possesses several abilities typical of Cyclopes and children of Poseidon.

* **Massive Strength**: Though he is still young, Tyson is immensely strong, even among other Cyclopes. In *The Sea of Monsters*, he managed to beat also two bronze bulls the size of elephants with his bare hands, was able to hold his own against a Hydra and managed to tackle Polyphemus who was almost twice as big as him to the ground easily so that he and Percy could escape. When he almost punched Luke, Percy stated that Tyson could punch with enough force put a hole in titanium. In *The Battle of the Labyrinth*, Tyson freed Briares by ripping the door off its hinges with his bare hands "as if it was made of wet clay", and effortlessly pounded Earthborn giants into mounds of clay.
* **Superhuman Durability**: As a Cyclops, Tyson is able to withstand many physical blows and damage. He could survive Kampê's poison, though it was still quite painful to him.
* **Superhuman Reflexes**: Despite his occasional clumsiness, Tyson has fast reflexes. In *The Sea of Monsters*, he managed to catch two flaming cannonballs flying at alarming rates.
* **Vocal Mimicry:** Like most other Cyclopes, Tyson can imitate voices. In *The Sea of Monsters*, he imitates Luke and Chris Rodriguez. In *The Battle of the Labyrinth*, he imitates Briares and Kampê.
* **Superhuman Hearing**: As a Cyclops, He possesses sharp hearing.
* **Height Manipulation**: As a Cyclops, Tyson can grow up to 30 feet tall at will.
* **Fire Immunity**: As a Cyclops, Tyson is immune to fire and extreme heat, with the exception of the Flames of the River Phlegethon. He manages to survive a blast from the Colchis Bulls, whose fire were too hot even for Percy to withstand.
* **Underwater Breathing**: As a Cyclops, Tyson can breathe underwater, first shown in *The Last Olympian*.
* **Forging skills**: As a Cyclops, Tyson possesses innate talent with metal works and is gifted with extra delicate hands, which allows him to make small items with remarkable precision and detail. He built the chariot for his cabin and many weapons in forges. He designed special javelins and an extremely durable complex wristwatch/shield, which he later repaired as well. Tyson's skills impressed Charles Beckendorf and even Briares after a year of practice in *The Battle of the Labyrinth*.
* **Tongue of the Old Times fluency**: According to Tyson in *The Battle of the Labyrinth*, this is the ancient language that Gaea spoke to the Titans, Elder Cyclops, and Hekatonkheires before the birth of the Olympian gods. Tyson can understand it perfectly and translate it.
* **Empathy (*possibly*)**: In *The Sea of Monsters*, during a talk, he was having with Percy, Tyson seemed to know exactly what his brother was feeling. Because of this, Percy wondered if Cyclopes could read emotions as satyrs could.
