What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 10

Heavy carnivoresGrabs and pinsTorporAmbushSwarmsHeat

Direwolf — Hunts in packs and gets a damage bonus for pack size, so the fifth wolf hurts more than the first.
Fight in a corridor where only one can reach you.
Mantis — Uses whatever weapon it holds, so its damage depends on what it picked up, and it is fast.
Rubble Golem — A Rock Elemental fragment. Untameable, and it ignores small-arms fire.
Sabertooth — Fast, and does enough damage to a survivor on foot to matter.
Megalosaurus — Active and aggressive at night, sluggish by day. Its bite grabs and pins a survivor, and it hits hard enough to end a cave run outright.
Run the cave in daylight where the cave's day/night cycle allows it. Do not use splash damage near one.
Araneo — Webs you in place from range, which stops you kiting and stops a mount fleeing. Its bite applies torpor.
Kill it at range before it closes. Bug Repellant makes it ignore you entirely.
Pulmonoscorpius — Torpor per hit, higher than almost anything else its size, and it is fast.
Bug Repellant, and Stimulant for when it lands hits anyway.
Titanoboa — Applies heavy torpor per bite and is quiet enough to reach you before you see it.
Stimberries or Stimulant on your hotbar. Two bites will drop an unprepared survivor.
Megalania — Climbs walls and ceilings, so it attacks from above where a mount cannot follow, and its bite applies a stacking torpor.
Check the ceiling. Stimulant for the torpor stacks.
Onyc — Attacks in numbers, drains stamina, and is small enough that most mounts cannot hit it.
A shotgun, or a pike on foot. They path erratically, so aimed single shots waste ammunition.

Not a threat: Achatina
