Caves (roguelike) Wiki

Description[]

Mutants are hostile creatures that inhabit the Acid Caves.

Although they lost their humanity a long time ago, their bizarre mutations allowed the mutants to adapt to this hazardous environment they live in, creating great diversity among mutants with several types appearing over time ranging from simple ghouls to powerful shamans.

Mutants can be distinguished into two groups: the usual green skinned mutants and the tougher more resilient bloody mutants.
