The Clay Caves

The Clay Caves are one of the two biomes surrounding the Undergrounds.

The Clay Caves are similar in appearance to the starting area, but the Clay Blocks are harder to mine and the enemies of the region are much more dangerous. Tin is the most common metal here, but Gold can be found as well. Ghorm the Devourer can also be found in this region.
