Background[]
The presumable leader of the Cycloids. Duke Nukem himself once faced the one-eyed freak in the football stadium when the Cycloids invaded Earth years ago. However, despite the name, it might be hinted that this is not the true Emperor of the Cycloids, since there's been reports of there being multiple Cycloid Emperors (Including the ones Duke faced long ago).
The Cycloid Emperor has two metal claws, from where he can fire rockets rapidly. These rockets are much more deadlier than the Assault Commander's rockets, since getting hit by one is almost instant death. He can also spit out multiple mind blast orbs, which are identical to the orbs that the Octabrains spit out. Due to his huge size, he can easily crush his opponents when they get too close.
When heavily injured, the Cycloid Emperor will lose his eye. At this point, he will go berserk, and will start firing rockets at a slightly faster rate. While he won't move around during this phase, however he will keep firing rockets non-stop until he is dead. This can occur on all three missions that he appears in (Though it doesn't occur with the mini cycloids found in usermaps).
Bestiary Information[]
It's safe to assume the Emperors are leaders of the Cycloid Empire. We don't know how many of these there actually are through out the Empire, but it's reasonable to assume that there is most likely something even bigger in charge giving these things the orders.
Trivia[]
- There is a Cycloid Emperor Chibi that will be collected upon completing Shellshocked.
