Cycor (싸이커 Ssaikeo) is a reptilian alien monster who appears in the 1999 film Reptilian.
Name
The monster's Korean name is Ssaikeo (싸이커), which was translated to Cyker in the marketing for Reptilian's 2001 re-release.[1] In the film, which was shot entirely in English, its name is instead pronounced with an 'o' vowel, and is rendered "Cycor" in the closed captions on home video and streaming. A bonus feature on the American DVD release offers the spelling Cykor. For the film's Japanese release, Cycor's name was changed to Sasorigues (サソリゲス Sasorigesu), likely derived from the Japanese word for "scorpion": sasori (
Design
Cycor is a bizarre alien creature with reptilian and crustacean features. He has a centaur-like body, having four legs and two arms, and his skin is deep purple or black. His arms both end in long pincers while his head looks crocodilian. His back is covered with a spiked shell, from which two cannon-like structures protrude near his shoulders. He possesses a long tail that ends in a pincer-like structure similar to a centipede's.
History
- Reptilian (1999)
Reptilian
The Galaxions launched Cycor from their ship. Cycor landed on Earth like a meteor in Los Angeles, causing a large explosion and knocking Yonggary off his feet. Yonggary noticed something approaching him from underground, just before it suddenly stopped and Cycor rose from the ground. Cycor attacked Yonggary, knocking him to the ground. A soldier distracted Cycor, which gave Yonggary enough time to get up. Cycor attempted to crush the soldier with its arm, but Yonggary blew it up with a fireball. Tentacles grew from Cycor's wound and wrapped around Yonggary, then discharged an electrical surge, which made Yonggary fall down. Cycor shot a fireball at Yonggary, but he dodged it and returned fire, blowing off Cycor's head. More tentacles grew from the wound and launched toward Yonggary, but he dodged the attack and bit them off. Yonggary then shot a fireball into the wound where Cycor's head once was, causing him to explode.

Tendrils and limb loss
