Description

Some kind of unnaturally large and deformed insect lunges at you from the dark. It has a grey carapace, with small patches of lichen growing here and there.

Cave bug is a small grey-green animal that spawns inside caves or from cave bug mounds. Usually comes in packs of three, especially after a mine tile cave-in.

Bites and claws cut relatively lightly but fast.

It can be tamed with meat or fish (35+ taming skill recommended).
