The Cave Dweller is a predator that disguises itself as a rock on the interior of a caves close to the surface.

Long purple tendrils will hang low amongst the vines, and can be very difficult for an explorer to spot if they aren’t careful... especially if their flashlight batteries run out of juice.

Once a tendril makes contact with a prey, they quickly act to ensnare him. To the prey, this appears to happen as fast as a synapse firing, as they quickly become tangled and restrained by the tendrils. They remove his clothing and pull him up to the maw of the creature.

Once the prey has been devoured, the Cave Dweller needs to eat. This beast has an unusual nutrient requirement, as it’s main source of food is the salt produced by human sweat, so in order to eat, it needs to make it’s prey sweat.

The Cave Dwellers insides are the perfect condition to cause their prey to struggle, the skin tight exterior has the strength of a python and can squeeze and compress its prey to get them moving, and struggling to ensure they’re breathing in enough air.

The tendrils have evolved to make the prey squirm and sweat even more, specialized tendrils will enter the prey’s mouth and butt, the latter usually causes the most struggle. The tendrils will also caress the prey’s dick, and will milk them to keep the sweat dripping. The rest of the tendrils will carefully wrap themselves around the prey’s body, wrapping each limb, between fingers and toes, around the chest and abdomen, underarms, face, and head, practically mummifying him.

Over the course of about 2 days, the Cave Dweller will slowly feast on it’s prey’s sweat until there is not a sufficient source of salt. The Cave Dweller will then release it’s prey back to the ground.

This is the tricky part for the prey, as the Cave Dwellers often appear in groups of 3-5, so he must be carful not to be caught up in another’s tendril as he clambers to collect his clothing and belongings that are splayed on the cave floor.
