shouldn't cyclopses have a racial minus to hit because they lack depth-perception?

Who's to say that they lack depth perception? There are mundane creatures that have individual eyes capable of depth perception (pic related) and I doubt a magical creature such as a cyclops would lack such a trait. Also, that looks more like a monoeye than a cyclops.

Search up lindybeige and his theories on how cyclops would have depth perception.

To spare you unnecessary details, I've always handled it like this:
Cyclopes do not naturally possess depth-perception, but they do have exquisite daylight vision and can see farther and clearer than most any other species.
Cyclopes, can, however, arch, wiggle, and move their head around to crudely perceive and gauge depth.

>Monoeye
I had never heard of this word up until this very moment and I love it.
I've been looking for a better term for a 'race of ordinary people sized cyclops' that's better and easier to say than 'Cyclopskin' and Monoeye might be it.

She's from a manga about monster girls and they directly call her a cyclops. Monster Musume or whatever

You're assuming that the structure of a cyclops' eye is anything like a human's.

The cyclops sniper is supposed to be funny.

Mantis shrimp eyes have depth perception because each one has three irises.
I'm willing to bet your cyclopes have one.
