People who live or dwell beneath the earth's surface are referred to by various terms depending on context. In architectural and urban exploration terms, individuals living in subterranean spaces are often called subterranean dwellers, cave residents, or tunnel residents. In specific cultural or historical contexts—such as the historical underground cave-dwelling communities in regions like Cappadocia, Turkey—they are known as troglodytes. In modern dystopian fiction and fantasy literature, they are frequently called subterranean peoples, mole-men, or underground inhabitants.
