Do caves...

Always lead into underground caverns?

I don't think they do, but caverns are so common now that they will probably nearly always lead in. --Waladil 02:53, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
They don't always lead to underground caverns, I just saw a cave that went nowhere, the last floor of it had no down ramp. --Overspeculated 18:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Multiple entities in one cave?

I've been adventuring today and encountered two different caves with multiple entities, though only the second has me puzzled; the first was a kobold cave under attack by a bronze colossus from another site (one I had encountered many times before, footless, handless, noseless, earless, it still wiped out all the kobolds.)

The second seems to be a standard cave. There was a hydra patrolling out front and a giant on top of the little hill the cave forms in. Do hydras and giants raid each other, or do we have two named (semi-)megabeasts settling in one site? v.0.31.8 Anacrucis 19:38, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

I've seen many times where any named creature you didn't kill for whatever reason will, if given enough time, migrate to a cave you haven't yet discovered. DokEnkephalin 21:55, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

formation

Looks like they don't occur just anywhere; they have to be on the edge of at least one non-mountain biome, even if that's a diagonal direction buried into mountains. DokEnkephalin 21:19, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
