Caves are the non-refined underground environments within the Castlevania series. Although most often, they are found as one of, if not the, lowest area of the castle, they have also appeared outside of the castle as completely separate regions.
Geography
Caves in the Castlevania series are commonly dark and neglected, and sometimes can be found littered with the remains of those who set forth in them before. It's also common for caves to feature watery regions as well, doubling as a submerged area. Caves are usually accompanied with dark and slow music and undead enemies.
