The “Cyclops school” of monster training teaches that the best way to train a monster, whether that is for fighting, show, or any other task, is to allow the monster to explore its natural abilities in a safe space. The space will, of course, be tailored to the skills required - but the emphasis is on providing an environment to encourage learning, and to reward progress, rather than to follow a strict training regime.
Notable results of Cyclops' training methods during their long career include teaching Grand Champion Dark Steel their “Darker Steel” and “Dark Glare” special moves - allowing Dark Steel to create clones at will, or deploy it's trademark glare to stop an opponent in its tracks - and teaching arena equipment Disjunct to create portals on command and move specified objects (rather than it's previous scattergun approach).
Cyclops also had significant personal success in the Double Team arena, alongside Quake, with “Team Slime” finishing in third place in Season 36. Cyclops and Quake would often be seen both before and after the season on “Slime Picnics” with their monsters - though the name had become somewhat innaccurate, as both Green Genie and Blue Lagoon had evolved to be no longer slimy (and different colours than their registered name would imply).
After the tumultuous events of Season 36, Cyclops was heavily involved in AMBER as a contestant, with a wide variety of their own monsters, and also opened up a monster hatchery and menagerie to demonstrate their style of monster care to the people of Bastion.
