Tarclops is a scrapped water -element Skylander during the development of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. Not much is known about him, but a character Trading card of Tarclops does exist, and it documents that he was sent to the islands by his father, King Cyclops, to reclaim a stolen relic which belongs to their underworld kingdom. Tarclops was one of the original five characters planned for Spyro's Kingdom, but was ultimately cut and developed into Zap.

Trivia
- Tarclops makes a cameo in Skylanders: Trap Team as the "gloop hat".
- As seen on Tarclops' character Trading card stats, it appears instead of health, speed, strength and luck, the original 3 stats were strength, speed and attack.
- His character card also provides an early image of the Water element symbol, as it was straight rather than being curved like the final design.
- It appears earlier designs of Tarclops had a much more navy colour scheme, whereas the final versions had a light blue colour scheme.
- The character card art of Tarclops may have been the inspiration for Hot Head's "Fossil Fuel" upgrade, as both are blackish-blue creatures made of oil who leave slimy trails in their wake.
