Description
The Cave Horror is a tall, pale, and thin creature that has two sharpened appendages with webbed feet and a thin stretch of skin connected from it's wrists to its thigh region.
The Cave Horror is a subterranean monster that roams the deepest and oldest caves as a result it's appearance has adapted to that of subterranean life. Blind, pale, and it's thin stature is the result of no sunlight and pitch darkness, the Cave Horror has also adapted to the vast open caves, small, and water filled caves that await deep under the surface. An evolutionary result of a microscopic parasite that is found only in the deepest and darkest caves and pockets of earth from times before the gods left. The parasite infects a host through its bloodstream after being attacked by a Cave Horror and causing them to undergo a transformation to allow the host the abilities to survive underground and eventually, as a final result, turn into a Cave Horror.
