The Caveman is a Rare Character that was added in the August 2017 DUODENUM update. Despite the name, the Caveman is actually a female.

She can be found in the rare event 'Frozen Friend', where she appears trapped in a block of ice. The player must attack the ice repeatedly to break it open. Upon freeing the Caveman she will offer to either join the party or teach the leading character in either combat or survival. The former option increases Vitality and maximum Strength by 1, while the latter increases Medical and maximum Fitness by 1.

The Caveman's Fitness and Strength are revealed upon recruitment. She has two inventory slots a unique weapon, the 'Giant Club' which can not be dropped. As her encounter text suggests, she cannot use firearms or gas-powered weapons.
