Caveman Baby

The Caveman Baby is the smallest member of the Ice Age caveman faction. It has a melee attack with Lifesteal, allowing it to recover HP with each hit, and it actively seeks out food items on the battlefield. When it reaches full health, it grows up — transforming into a more dangerous adult caveman form. This growth mechanic makes it a low-priority target that can escalate if ignored.

The Lifesteal means the Caveman Baby is self-sustaining as long as it keeps hitting your cats. It will path toward food drops first if any are available, which can actually work in your favor by drawing it away from the fight temporarily. However, if it eats enough food or lands enough hits to reach full HP, the growth transformation creates a new adult enemy that is considerably more threatening.

Prevent the Caveman Baby from reaching full health by keeping steady damage pressure on it, or eliminate it quickly before it can grow. Avoid leaving food drops accessible on the field when a Caveman Baby is present — they will accelerate toward full health. If it does grow up, treat the resulting adult caveman as a new threat that appeared mid-fight and reprioritize accordingly.
