Winters (near Stonehenge)

The Cave Boy (occasionally referred to as Big Foot) is an enemy in EarthBound encountered near Stonehenge in Winters. It appears in two forms, one encountered by Jeff alone, and another encountered after he joins Ness and Paula. Cave Boy attacks as regular against Jeff, and spawns by itself; however, it later can swing a club to deal substantial damage to a party member, or shout in a loud voice to lower a target's offense and defense temporarily. When encountered alongside Ness and Paula, the Cave Boy spawns with up to one additional Cave Boy and up to two Mighty Bear Sevens.

When moving on the overworld, they travel in a straight line towards the player. They travel very slowly, however. When attacking, it has a tendency to miss its attacks, compensating for Jeff's then-low level upon its initial encounter.

The Cave Boy is loosely based on the Big Foot enemy from EarthBound Beginnings.

A friendly Cave Boy sells food in Dr. Andonuts's lab.

EarthBound Player's Guide description

"Cave Boy is a nasty Neanderthal with a spiked club. He looks mean - and he is mean. Use a powerful attack to send him back to the stone age."
