This is very rough. Essentially it’s supposed to be an evolution of humans that got stuck in caves eons ago. I wanted a unique take on it; this creature has developed holes in the chest cavity for filtering moisture from the air, since the caves are actually very dry. the large slit in the center is like a giant mouth without teeth. The creature eats small morsels it smashes with its fists (or claws? not sure how to make those work) it spends a lot of time standing around with others of its kind, simply filtering the air. Because there’s no sunlight, the head has actually lost many of its former uses and almost acts as a counterweight for its enlarged torso. The ear drums have evolved into a single, large ear drum. The optic nerves swing from the head as vestigial organs. The skin is very thin and tight as the environment is exceedingly nutrient-poor. It can stand as previously stated, but more often moves around on all fours. The limbs sprawl more from the body for better mobility.
I tried very hard to not make this just another cave dweller. This isn’t actually meant for a mod, but rather a personal creative project. What do you think?

Hey, this looks a heck of a lot like something I saw in my nightmares! Nice! (I’m actually not joking at all.)
