After climbing over some rocks, jump over a giant rock in the way, and then crouch under a tight ledge to find them. The leftmost, and largest, Caveman is holding what looks like a teddy bear, while three Cavemen to the right of him are arranged from smallest to largest.

To get where the Caveman is, there are a variety of options, both requiring Co-op:- The first method involves Butterflying in the corner where the Iron Skull is found and utilizing a respawn glitch to get out of bounds.
- The second method involves a variation of Butterflying known as the Elevator Glitch or "Butterfly Jumping," and requires both players entering corner with a near 90 degree angle and having one player jump on the other's head.

Trivia[edit]
- When the player shoots any Caveman, it will bleed. However, even if the player does large amounts of damage (i.e. with a grenade or headshot), nothing will happen as the Cavemen have no scripted death animation.
- If the player shoots the teddy bear being held by the largest Caveman in the "Caveman Family", blood will also come out.
