The '''Cyclops''' (portrayed by Neil Ross) is a large, male hardhat diver that appeared in ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]'' as the tertiary antagonist. This air breathing monster never takes off his gear, even on land, possibly because he is too excited about selling knick-knacks or to scare sea creatures for fun. The anonymous diver owns and works at the dreaded [[Shell City]] and is feared by all inhabitants of the sea, mainly because he looks frightening, is gigantic compared to marine animals, captures them, and dries them out under a constantly burning desk lamp in Shell City to dry them out and turn them into "smelly knick-knacks" that he can sell (as seen in the movie). He doesn't have any lines except for evil laughing, humming, "uh-oh," and "huh" when the dead sea creatures came proceeding to beat him up, but mostly you just hear the breathing from inside his helmet.

We discovered his existence in the beginning of the movie when [[Princess Mindy|Mindy]] mentioned him while she was warning our protagonists about the hazards of venturing out to Shell City. Later in the movie, just when [[Dennis (The Hitman)|Dennis]] and his cleated,"big boot", was about to kill [[SpongeBob SquarePants|Spongebob]] and [[Patrick Star|Patrick]], we finally see the heinous diver, more specifically, his,"bigger boot", stepping on Dennis, saving our duo (at the moment). Patrick was just about to make a run for it, when Spongebob notified him that the hardhat diver's gigantic boot had saved them from being stepped on by Dennis. They showed gratitude towards the pernicious diver for saving them , referring to the Cyclops originally as, "Stranger", for not knowing the Cyclops' true identity at the time. But then realization struck Spongebob and Patrick when the Cyclops looked directly down at them (most likely because he finally heard Spongebob when he said,"Uh, Stranger?"), discovering that this abnormally large, "Stranger", who rescued them from the evil Dennis, was the giant Cyclops guarding Shell City of Princess Mindy's warning.

The Cyclops gazing down at SpongeBob and Patrick in Shell City

The Cyclops (portrayed by Neil Ross) is a large, male hardhat diver that appeared in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie as the tertiary antagonist. This air breathing monster never takes off his gear, even on land, possibly because he is too excited about selling knick-knacks or to scare sea creatures for fun. The anonymous diver owns and works at the dreaded Shell City and is feared by all inhabitants of the sea, mainly because he looks frightening, is gigantic compared to marine animals, captures them, and dries them out under a constantly burning desk lamp in Shell City to dry them out and turn them into "smelly knick-knacks" that he can sell (as seen in the movie). He doesn't have any lines except for evil laughing, humming, "uh-oh," and "huh" when the dead sea creatures came proceeding to beat him up, but mostly you just hear the breathing from inside his helmet.

We first learn of the Cyclops' existence early in the movie when Mindy first mentioned him while she was warning our protagonists about the hazards of venturing out to Shell City, where Neptune's crown is being witheld. The Cyclops was said to guard Shell City and was described as giant when Mindy classified him as the worst of the hazards. Later in the movie, just when Dennis and his spiked "big boot" is about to step on SpongeBob and Patrick, we finally see the heinous diver appear, more specifically, his "bigger boot", (as SpongeBob and Patrick call it) step on Dennis in an ironic fashion, saving our duo from Dennis (at the moment), but unfortunately not from the Cyclops himself. Patrick is just about to make a run for it screaming "Bigger boot!" when SpongeBob notifies him that the hardhat diver's benefactor of a boot had saved their lives. They display gratitude towards the pernicious diver for saving them from Dennis, referring to the Cyclops originally as "Stranger" for not knowing the Cyclops' true identity at the time. But the Cyclops just stands there, looking for his next victims. Then fear and realization strike SpongeBob and Patrick when the Cyclops looks directly down at them (most likely because he finally heard SpongeBob when he said, "Uhh...

SpongeBob and Patrick then discover that this abnormally large "Stranger", who rescued them from the evil Dennis, is the even more monstrous and giant Cyclops who guards Shell City mentioned in Princess Mindy's warning. SpongeBob and Patrick try to run away, but with the diver's boots clomping down behind them, fail, and the Cyclops picks them up, gives them a long stare, and proceeds onward, abducting them to the surface. Our duo (who recently fainted) are stuffed in a bag, and driven to Shell City in the Cyclops' boat (as shown in script). The Cyclops then puts SpongeBob and Patrick in his glass bowl, and holds them captive in Shell City. First, he decides to scare our two heroes for entertainment, so he sneaks up behind them, stalks them a bit, exaggerates his breathing, and when SpongeBob and Patrick turn around, he scares the two and evilly laughs. He then takes out a small toolbox that SpongeBob refers to as his "evil instruments of torture."
