The biological origins of the cylon

Cleary the name cylon hearkens back to the cyclops due to the one red eye. But I was thinking that in setting the design of one red eye could be a conscious choice to mimic the creator's body design. Ie one eye. Previously I've drawn two aquatic creatures with one eye and had plans to expand upon that with a whole ecosystem where evolution followed the one eye pattern. The purpose of tbat would have been to present a cohesive ecosystem and planetary brief for a referee to potentially use in a sand box game. I suppose it could also be used for a home ecosystem for the saurians.
