==Description== 
In his first two appearances, his design is practically identical to that of Patrick Star, (likely due to the modern Patrick portraying him in "Late for Breakfast") except he's naked and wears a tiny brown paper as a form of censoring his private parts. This design is pretty much carried over into his next official appearance, ("[[A Space Affair to Remember]]") however, with a more circular chin.

"The Prehistoric Patrick Star Show" shakes up the star's look, with him having brown, black-dotted prehistoric clothing, a sole unibrow over his eyes, and what appears to be a growing beard surrounding his mouth. This design reappears in "The Starry Awards."

As for personality, he's mostly seen as the same stupid star he's inspired by, although a trait established in "The Prehistoric Patrick Show" is that he possesses great strength, harassing a Bubblebassasaurus after eating a prehistoric [[Walter the Waiter]] and his delicious ice cream treats. 

==Role in series== 
==="Late for Breakfast"=== 
He's portrayed by Patrick as a part of GrandPat teaching his grandson about the ways of survival in the past. Him and Cave GrandPat try to hunt down a {{Link|Plankton}}-like dinosaur, who unfortunately swats them into a rock, and are scraped off it and eaten by [[Squidasaurus Rex]].

==="[[Mid-Season Finale]]"===
One of the skits shows various Patricks in a waiting room, including Cave Patrick. He is seen suspiciously eyeing [[Pat the Hapless]], whom he is sitting next to. The manager calls for Patrick, so Cave Patrick says "I'm ready!" and stands up, along with all the others. The manager specifies that he meant Cave Patrick, causing the real Patrick to get upset and ask why he gets to go first. Cave Patrick beats his chest and pulls out a spear, but is fired and run over by a crew of ballet-dancing Patricks.

Later on, he hosts a game show called ''Guess What Me Thinking?'', in which three contestants have to identify what he is thinking about. His thought bubble is a cloud of incomprehensible scribbles, which [[Caveman Jenkins]] correctly to be snakes. However, he is eaten by the [[mommy pterodactyl]], who is eaten by [[Squidasaurus Rex]]. Since no other contestants are left, Cave Patrick declares Squidasaurus Rex the winner.

==="A Space Affair to Remember"=== 
He's the target of Patrick in a game of "{{W|Spin the bottle|Spin the Bottle}}." Patrick tries to kiss him, but accidentally kisses Squidina in the eye instead.

==="[[The Prehistoric Patrick Star Show]]"=== 
In his starring episode, he hosts ''The Cave Patrick Show'' and gets into all sorts of antics with his family and friends around town.

==="The Starry Awards"===
A picture of Cave Patrick appears when Patrick shows the nominees for Best Cutaway Segment. However, he loses to [[Dr. Plankenstein]], [[SpongeMonster]], and [[Pat-gor]].

==="[[The Patrick Show Cashes In]]"===
Cave Patrick makes a cameo on one piece of merchandise, which is a box containing a stick on fire.

==="[[The Star Games]]"===
{{Section-cleanup}}
Squidina tried to stop him from inventing the coffee cup when she lands in the prehistoric era by the time closet.

==Trivia== 
*Patrick CaveStar is currently the third character to be a prehistoric version of Patrick Star, after [[Patar]] and [[Patrick (primitive)|Primitive Patrick]].
*His design in "The Prehistoric Patrick Star Show" looks similar to that of [[w:c:flintstones:Fred Flintstone|Fred Flintstone]] from ''{{W|The Flintstones}}''.
