Some comparison/contrast observations:
| Cavern | Mine |
| Walls are smooth, natural in appearance | Walls are rough, chunky, evidence of tools used |
| Wet, dripping water, mud, pools of water | Dry, dusty |
| Warm, humid (80°F+) | Cold, dry (47°F) |
| Flowstone, stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws | Wooden supports, metal bolts, tools |
| Bats, guano, crickets, ground sloth | Evidence of human(oid) activity |
One key idea -- without light you are doomed!!!
Here are some pics I found online of the two places. Enjoy!

Good pics and observations.
One particular picture gives me an idea. What if our ol pal the hook horror was recast as a subterranean subspecies of megatherium?
@Trey -- super cool idea. You could just "reskin" the Hook Horror and viola!
