1 -But we can't say that the creatures will not react on environment sounds that comming from nearby places. This may ruin the immersion. I understand that we shouldn't be relying on audio but I guess that we should also leave a space for creatures for reacting the environmental sounds that could hint to the creatures that smth is approaching. Maybe we could solve this reducing the sound cue range, that hints the creature smth is approaching.

1 -Introducing to the player via NPC would be a way or players could experience it and they may start to think that okay caves could be dangerous to enter. Which I think that this is always the case in most of the games. If you entering inside a cave, you could find smth great and you may face enemies that could kill you. I think players could create the connection between these.

1 +Cave Entrance During the rain, if there are no predators around most prey will hide here from the rain. If there are predators around the pray will smell their scent and will not even try it as a shelter. Which will create uncertainty for the player whether they found prey or predator in here.
