I love cave monsters! Some of my favorite monsters come from caves! They tend to be some of the more intersting and unique monsters.

Khezu is probably my favorite. Gigginox is a close second. I like them a lot for their leech-like features and in the case of the Khezu really cute Gunner armor in High/G-rank.

HOW CAN YOU HATE ANY OF THEM. But seriously, Meriginasu is probably my least favorite. They're not particularly bad they just lack any features I find eye-catching.

OF COURSE! Weird cave things are the best.

Are you asking if I want more squishy howling leech monsters? OF COURSE I WANT MORE OF THOSE! I'D PLAY A GAME POSED PRIMARILY OF THOSE!

I can see Goa being pretty comfortable in caves when they're not flapping their wings all over the place.

There's a lot of fun stuff you could make into a cave monster, so that's a tough one. Maybe a monster with shaggy fur overgrown with fungus that it can eat to regain stamina? or a monster with intricate bioluminescent patterns that it can pulse and flash to disorient prey and predators? Some sort of pale, degenerate elder dragon with all of its limbs adapted to best grip and climb sheer, rocky surfaces? A new amphibian monster based off an Axolotl with parts that grow back up to a point? There are a lot of options.
