In [u]White Gold Weilder[/u] was wrote:Along the rim of the pit, a party of Cavewights charged into the rocklight.

At least a score of them. Upright on their long limbs, they were almost as tall as Pitchwife.
The inclusion of 'upright' implies they are often otherwise.

Maybe, like the people of our Earth, there are different kinds. Slightly different colors, shapes, and sizes. If they survived for thousands of years different "races" might have emerged.

Spoiler
FR has them now about as tall as a Giant but much thinner. The earlier books have them arounf 7 to 7.5 feet.

So in 3500 years they listen to Foul and took their growth homones.

They don't have growth hormones in the Land, thats just crazy. It's because they ate thier vegtables like big boys so they could grow up big and strong.

Foul is geting to be such a responsible terror. I hear that if he keeps his gold fish alive for a month he will get a puppy in the next book.

I always wonder if Cavewights are evil or what. Cause I remember in LFB, is just said that they were weak-willed. So...

Are they evil, or just power-thirsty?
