Soul Gem:
Rock Band: 4000 coins
Cave In is joined by Pebble, a short rock man that resides in his cave mouth. He uses stalactites as drumsticks and will play the drums whenever Cave In plays his guitar. The duo comes together to make music of EPIC proportions. The extra kick coming from the drums ups the damage done by the guitar. (65 damage and 50 when holding (P)
Stalagmites will now launch into the air, dealing damage on the way up, and crash back down in the same spot, dealing the same damage on the way down. (30 damage) launch once a second, come down a second later.

That means one strum of the guitar over the stalagmites will do an instant 95 damage followed by an additional 160 damage a second — assuming I did my math right.

Backstory:
Cave In had began as nothing but a cave. People would wander in and out and that was his purpose: being an accessible route to the inside of a mountain. But he wanted more. And as time went on his want grew. Slowly he began to take the form of a giant golem over time.

As he finally became sentient, he remembered a time when a band had stayed in his cave. The music they had played was amazing. Looking for a new purpose, he decided this was what he would do now.

Taking his time, he slowly built his own guitar and learned to play it. Before long, he was playing his guitar for everyone who would listen. He had gigs all over the Skylands.

On one of his gigs, a group of trolls began raiding the crowd. Upset that they had ruined his gig, Cave In fought them off. Not long after this, The Brain came to him and offered him a spot on his team. Cave In took it because he could finally shrink down to a normal size with the new shrinking ability. He was also told he could play his guitar at the Academy any day he wanted. He was finally happy.

Personality:
Cave In has a goofy personality who has a love for rock and roll. Gets along really well with Wolfgang.
