How about hostile cave independents? With caves being so resource-rich, and valuable, any ideas for some new and nasty critters to inflict on various nations trying their hands at spelunking?

Are we really missing a reference to goblins in the game?
That would be something to build on.

Here's a cave beetle graphic for K, just to get the ball rolling:

I did it in less than 15 mins, so it's not perfect, but hopefully useable.

Cavewars Beetle (independent only)
Stats: Hp. 30, Str. 30, Att 12, Def 10, Morale 20, Prot 20, Mv 12/2,
Res. Fire 50%, Cold 25%, Pois 100%. Size 4 Trample, weapon: Chitin Horn-armour piercing, Str.
Poison Spit. ammo 2, range 3, Damage 12, no str. area 1, weak poison. Darkvision (100) Mountainwalk, Animal.

Would make a good mount for an independent leader. It might need a lot of balancing, if anyone were to add it to a nation.

Both Vaetti and Bakemono build on the goblin myth.

+1 for the giant centipede.
+1 for the beetle, what bout a fire spitting one

I still think that would be cool a site you can enter and come out with a tamed random dinosaur from the Verne's "Voyage au centre de la Terre" underworld, +- like the void gate ^^ let my pure dreaming alone plz

As Endo said, we already have the goblinz, and they r enough ^^

I think the caves are already well served. Agarthans have magma children, cheaper earth elementals, Umbrals. We already have bats. We already have spiders. We have plenty of scorpions. We already have a giant salamander. I don't think there are more things left which live in caves ^^
