Units in Caves are the characters or creatures that can perform actions.
Units are categorized into 8 races, Undead, Goblinoids, Guardians, Robots, Mutants, Demons, Beasts and Neutrals.
Units are usually called enemies by players, but units include both friendly and hostile.
Elites are units that have superior stats, weapons and a more versatile combat pattern comparing to non-elite units.
Units can drop items upon death, sometimes they might also drop their equipment and weapons. Item drop can depend on luck and difficulty.
Units have a common point in combat pattern. The units near and with a passable way towards the target have a chance to notice the target and then start move towards the character. The closer the distance, the higher the noticing chance. Once the target is in their attack range, units perform actions instead of further moving close towards the target. Ranged Units move away from their enemies when the clips/magazines are empty until reloading finishes. Units can run out of ammo, but slowly regenerate it over time. Units stop chasing their target when the distance between two is too long (~20 tiles).
Below shows the categories units fall into, their factions, locations where their found, their abilities
