The "boss fight" at the end of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic involves confronting Arantir, who in turn summons a skeletal dragon. From Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East, we can surmise that this creature is supposed to be the "Avatar of Death" and the ability to summon it is special to Arantir. In the turn-based strategy game Tribes of the East, the creature appears black and shadowy.

That child is the protagonist Sareth in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

The video below shows a strange glitch where the cyclops somehow managed to kill itself, possibly by bashing its head into stone steps during its two-fisted attack. Normally, a cyclops is defeated by weakening it and then attacking its one eye, as in the case of the undead cyclops in Chapter 1 - The Gates of Stonehelm .
