This article is about an older version of DF.

A cave is a natural formation that occurs in any area, consisting of a small (one-tile) hole in the wall of a large rock mound on the surface leading to narrow winding passageways that span several Z-levels. The rock mounds are typically rough and it can be difficult for an adventurer to see or locate the cave entrance. Caves often always? have deep passages that lead down into Template:L.

Caves are sometimes home to named creatures and semimegabeasts such as Template:Ls. If a cave is inhabited by creatures fond of stealing items from nearby sites, the stolen goods will be littered all over the area both inside and outside of the cave. If you're an adventurer looking to make some easy money, try visiting caves and filling your backpack with (twice) stolen crafts. Return to town and sell your loot.

In adventure mode, caves can be found by taking quests or scouting for them in Template:L. This will place them on your map. In Dwarf Fortress Mode, you will not be able to see caves on the Template:L map
