A Cave Goblin in Dungeons & Dragons is a small, humanoid creature typically found in subterranean environments such as caves, tunnels, and mines. These goblins are known for their cunning, resourcefulness, and adaptability to dark, underground settings. They often have pale or greenish skin, sharp features, and large eyes that help them see in the dark. Cave Goblins are typically weaker than their surface-dwelling cousins but make up for this with their agility and cleverness.

In many settings, Cave Goblins are portrayed as living in tight-knit, isolated communities deep underground. They often form tribal groups led by a chieftain or a shaman, and these communities are built around scavenging, hunting, and mining. They are often feared by surface dwellers, not because of their physical strength, but because of their ability to ambush, set traps, and use their environment to their advantage. Cave Goblins are known to use poison, stealth, and guerrilla tactics to overcome more powerful foes.

Though often viewed as little more than pests by adventurers, Cave Goblins possess their own culture and hierarchy. They have their own language, and some may even engage in trade or form alliances with other subterranean creatures like kobolds or orcs. Cave Goblins typically worship deities or spirits that are associated with the earth or darkness, and their religious practices can be as strange and mysterious as their subterranean lifestyle.

Despite their often antagonistic role in many campaigns, some Dungeon Masters may choose to humanize Cave Goblins, making them complex characters with individual personalities, motivations, and even the potential for cooperation with adventurers. However, in many cases, they are adversaries to be outwitted or defeated in the shadows of the underground.
