A '''Cave blob''' is a single body/cell organism found in only the deepest [[cavern]]s.
  
Cave blobs lack any kind of internal organs and instead are filled with Cave blob gas. Any attack that "breaks away" part of this gas will usually kill them, as will any attack that tears or pierces their skin. Blobs need neither of these parts to live however and they can survive with no internal gas and a totally torn apart body if they are lucky. What truly decides if they die or not is a mystery.

The only products gained by the butchering of a cave blob are a skin for your [[leatherworker]]s and a few pools of Cave blob fluid. This fluid can be drunk in [[Adventure mode]] to satiate thirst.

Note that sometimes when a cave blob is killed it will not leave a  corpse, just a smear of cave blob fluid. These smears can be drunk.
