Cave People

== Background Information ==
The Cave people are a species that generally describes any intelligent being who lives underground, and is generally used to describe Redditors. Some look mostly like humans, others look slightly different, while others still look like anthropomorphic animals. Either way, they are often characterized by their cruelty, brutality and desire for conquest. As this is a species largely defined by loyalty to Reddit and area of living rather than physical characteristics, many species in the caves (such as some Cave Elephants, many Mole People and the Dwarves) are not considered Cave People.
== Description ==
=== Physical Characteristics ===
As Cave people vary wildly, they are often very different in appearance. They are usually best identified by dress and hygiene (fedoras, long yet informal trench coats, some kind of glasses, untrimmed and unkempt facial hair, intense stench, ect.). This, however, is not a surefire way to identify a cave person, and it is highly recommended to avoid using these as the only indicators.
=== Intellegence ===
Cave people are intelligent in the way that they are sapient, but listening for 5 minutes to one on their opinions about women, society or sonic video games will prove they are not as intelligent as human beings. They are quick to anger and often avoid showing emotions other than rage.
=== Territorial Behavior ===
They are quite Territorial, even more so than humans. They developed a society based on warfare, and as such seek to expand their influence, power, and territory at every opportunity.

=== Social Behaviors ===
Cave people are often defined by intense hatred of others, sadistic tendencies, and annoying desire to correct and debate anyone and anything around them. As they are defined by Reddit society, many are obsessed by raising their 'karma' through cruelty or earning the respect of their fellow redditors (be that through force or bad opinions about women, society, and sonic video games). However, they see all others as 'inferior', as they cannot earn Karma from those outside the caves. Also, they view those on the surface as inherently 'weak' and 'soft', even though 2/5ths of Cave People cannot do a pushup and have arms thinner than a twig. Nevertheless, they believe this. They often believe that 'might makes right' and violence and anger are the best solutions to problems. They also believe themselves to be far more intelligent than they actually are. They also hate women, as almost all Cave People are men, and are descended from a long line of absolute losers who left society because they thought everyone hated them (much of this was fabricated in early Cave Peoples' minds, however).
=== Diet ===
Most Cave People eat Moss, Bugs, Small lizards, and the occasional small cave animal. They can, however, eat just about anything a human can eat.
=== Language ===
Many powerful Redditors ironically trace ancestry to the British Isles, and because many elites trace their ancestry here, the language is a twisted dialect of English known as 'Redditspeak'. They can mostly be understood by English speakers until they start saying 'AMA', 'Slop', 'Updoot' or other nonsensical words. They are violently opposed to all other languages due to frequent and intense racism for anyone not like them.
== Origins ==
Many of the original Cave People descend from humans from across the world who perceived that the world was against them. This was almost universally, however, not true (or because they were being predatory towards others). They left into the caves where 'only the strongest survived' (although many argue that most of these early cave people survived rather easily). They slowly grew in population, and began assimilating and breeding with sewer people and other cave species. This created the Cave people of today.

== Fun Facts ==
* Cave People, despite the name, do not include many groups of people who live in the caves. This is due to the unique status of the species being defined by alignment with Reddit rather than characteristics or shared DNA.
* I have no idea why we originally made Redditors live in caves, like seriously I don't know.
** Was it a joke that I just don't get? did we have a reasoning? did we just say it once? Who knows.
* Despite many Cave People such as Big Chungus himself, Ernie the Giant Chicken and Charlie Tuna being different animal species, they are considered the same species. They can also breed with both humans and Demons (as proved by Big Dustus)
