The Cave Man - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - A Goal

Wonder if the author has seen the movie Descent(2005)?

I just realized that the cave creature doesn't want to kill them, it wants to infect them with whatever mutagenic disease it's got. The streamer died from some other means, and the Cave Creature doesn't quite understand that, so it's been carrying her head around because of that.

Hopefully sunlight is a cure for this parasite.

I figured as much. While we still don't know if it has a society, we now may have evidence it's psychic and can alter perceptions and minds. There's the otherworldy advantage it has for its environment. That's why everyone who walks into the cave and says "I can take it" gets tricked and killed. It has an outside-context gotcha against normal rules of reality.

Let's all just take a moment to appreciate the mental fortitude of Riku, a man so unflappable that he thinks nothing of stopping to chill and catch his breath in a claustrophobic tunnel filled with troglodyte snot.

is this cave creature gonna turn out to be that missing Taiyou kid, albeit mutated into cave creature form?

all I could think of this chapter was the stink breath that goblin would have.
