Cave tiles are mountains consisting of one or more caves. The cave is usually on the east side of the tile; in other words, if you enter the tile facing west, you will start in front of the cave, but maybe some distance away.

Caves are generally no larger than 20 tiles. The one above is large, about 40 tiles. Occasionally you may find a cave with no entrance which will always be inaccessible and occasionally a cave may be so small it looks like a small letter C with only one or two internal squares. Be aware that anything you drop in the cave, more than a few squares from the entrance will be invisible to you unless you light the square.
