Usually they get in one or two more attacks, then get bored and stop. Usually. That's my experience. They're probably less likely to stop if you're deep inside their patrol zone.

If you're extremely brave/stupid you can disembark and quickly repair any damage, which has the dual benefit of both restoring health to your cyclops and drawing attention away from it. The potential downside is as obvious as it is terrible, but I actually find it very effective to hide behind your Cyclops like a frightened mouse and just keep your seaglide at the ready. Also it's a lot less scary if you have a hidey hole or other tight space to squeeze behind when the terrible monster swoops over towards you. So, you know, keep that in mind when choosing a parking spot.
