A cave is a rocky outcrop on the surface that leads to a small underground area. Here you can fight with a bear or two, or a wolf, for food. A cave might also be a hermit cave, in which case it will contain a corpse and some rare items. Bring a lighting source to scare bats.

With a one-third chance, any cave might turn into a rat cave on generation. In this case, it will have a second level and will be filled with sewer rats and a boss.

The underground part of caves can be often overridden by sewers or subway that happen to intersect it. In these cases, the downslope will likely end abruptly in a sheer drop, offering you the opportunity to jump, glide, or rappel down, depending on the assets available to you.

Caves can be somewhat decent places to live if you can get rid of what creatures are down there, and if you have a rollmat or other items that provide bedding, if you are a troglobite character, even better, as Subterranean Fortitude can allow the player to sleep better on the hard rock floors of the cave without the need for a bed..
