Enemies here

28 enemy types: 15 people, 10 animals, 2 creatures, 1 daedra. Each links to its strength, resistances and what it carries.

Leveled ones: some enemies here are stand-ins the game fills when the area loads, each from a list, by your level. They can turn into these; the number is how many stand-ins here can give it, the most widespread first: Frostbite Spider (10), Bear (8), Cave Bear (8), Wolf (8), Skeever (6), Troll (6), Frost Troll (2), Ice Wolf (2), Ice Wraith (2), Snow Bear (2), Spriggan (2), Wood Wraith (2).

A Good Fit

Lying only here

Items placed in the world here and nowhere else (some can also be bought, made or looted: their pages say).

From base GTS 118's own records: the winning copy of CrystaldriftCaveLocation (Skyrim.esm). Level: the place's encounter zone, as the records set it. The game sets a place's level from yours, kept between its lowest and highest; GTS's Encounter Zones Unlocked keeps it following you rather than fixed at your first visit. People: where the game places them as a game starts; they walk about.
