Polyphemus was a cyclops active during the God Wars. Unlike most cyclopes, Polyphemus was not part of the armies of Bandos, and instead served under the former Mahjarrat general Zamorak. Polyphemus appears in the FunOrb game Armies of Gielinor, and as such the canonicity of his exploits remains debatable.

Polyphemus appears during the "Flight" mission of the Saradomin Strikes campaign. During the mission, he fights alongside Zamorakians against the Saradominist forces trying to intercept the pyrelord Pazuzu from heading back to his fortress near Unicorn Valley in modern-day east Misthalin, near what is now Varrock. Polyphemus' ultimate fate is left unclear, since while the player can choose to kill him in the mission, the mission can be completed without him being killed.

The only reference to him in RuneScape is an account of his life titled Polyphemus - Nobody Knows the Troubles I've Seen, which can be found in one the many bookshelves in Closure's study, though it can't actually be read.

Trivia

• Polyphemus's name is taken from a cyclops in the Odyssey, a Greek epic poem attributed to Homer. This is also referenced in the title of his biography, as in the Odyssey Polyphemus ends up being blinded by Odysseus, who claims his name is 'Nobody' in order to fool the cyclopes.
