Troglodyte
- In archaeology, a troglodyte is any member of a primitive tribe of cave-dwelling people (from the Greek troglodytai, from trogle, "a hole" and dyein, "to enter").
- More recently troglodyte is used to describe a technophobic person; i.e. someone who prefers to hide from the realities of modern life.
- Troglodyte may also be an elitist pejorative term to refer to non-elites, or those viewed as being of subordinate or inferior culture and belief.
- Troglodytes, a genus of wrens in the family Troglodytidae.
- Troglodytes, the original genus for the gorilla, now considered invalid.
- Derived from that term, troglodytes are cave-dwelling humanoid monsters in fantasy games such as Dungeons & Dragons or Heroes of Might and Magic (where they look like lizards) and will also appear in related fiction.
