The Cyclops looking at Spongebob and Patrick in his glass bowl

The Cyclops is a large, male diver with vintage hardhat diving equipment who appeared in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie as the tertiary antagonist who Plankton sold Neptune's crown to. The anonymous diver owns 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 sea creatures, and dries them out under a constantly burning heat lamp in Shell City to sell them as "smelly knick-knacks (as seen in the movie)." In the movie, we discovered his existence when Mindy warns our protagonists about the infamous diver guarding Shell City in the beginning of the movie telling them not to let him catch the two. Later in the movie, with not exactly knowing it, the heinous diver helped SpongeBob and Patrick by stepping on Dennis, crushing him with his so called,"bigger boot", saving both heroes from Dennis, but not from him. Patrick was just about to make a run for it, when Spongebob reminded him that the ginormous hardhat diver's "bigger boot" had saved them from a quick, but painful death, being stepped on by Dennis' spiked "big boot." They showed gratitude towards the pernicious diver from saving them from Dennis stepping on them, referring to him as, "Stranger", not knowing his true identity, thinking they were safe with the giant. But happiness was soon crushed and realization struck Spongebob and Patrick when the Cyclops looked directly down at our two protagonists(probably because he finally heard Spongebob when he said,"Stranger?"), discovering that this abnormally large, "Stranger", who saved them from the evil Dennis, was the even more atrocious Cyclops who guards the horrendous Shell City that Mindy had warned them about. He then picked up both Spongebob and Patrick who tried to run away in a brief chase scene. Spongebob and Patrick fainted a couple minutes after, so the Cyclops stuffed them in a grubby bag, drove his boat back to his very own Shell City and proceeded to hold them captive in a glass bowl, while displaying what he was going to do with them once he killed them by making a diorama of, "Alexander Clam Bell", in front of the duo's glass bowl, and scaring the two by picking them up and sneaking up behind them for personal amusement, until the tear of the two dried-up protagonists short out the heat lamp's power outlet and the fire sprinklers went on. Getting the Cyclops out of the bathroom to kill our two revived heroes again, but also revives the fish that the Cyclops had killed who beat him up and got revenge.

Looks

The Cyclops is very large, wears worn down, vintage hardhat diving gear (rough gloves, dented, brass helmet, weighted boots, grimy suit, faded understrap, slightly loose weight control belt, etc.) and doesn't even take it off on land, possibly because he is too excited about selling his knick-knacks or just to scare the marine animals he captures for entertainment or to maintain dominance among them. He is known as the Cyclops because the obvious assumption, made by fish and other marine animals, that he has one eye (which is really the single, florescent green window in his diving helmet)--a reference to the ancient Greek myths about Cyclopes.

Lines

The Cyclops hardly has any lines in the movie at all. You mostly just hear him evilly laugh and breathe heavily. His other lines are just a growl, humming,"Huh?", and,"Uh-oh."
