The Basic Cannibal is a Cannibal in Cube Life: Island Survival. It is the first Cannibal encountered in the game and is no longer seen when Barry is leveled up enough.
General
Basic Cannibals are the most generic of all Cannibals. They lack special abilities and though they are dangerous for the beginner, as the player crafts more powerful weapons their threat level drops. The Basic Cannibal's AI is the same AI used in most all Cannibals. They wander about the island aimlessly, and if they come within distance of a Boar or Chicken, they will move towards the animal and attack it. Likewise, if the Basic Cannibal sees the player, he will shout out "HETI!", alerting other nearby Cannibals and pursuing the player himself. Like all Cannibals, the Basic Cannibal only spawns after 19:30 in areas with a low light level. They can spawn on any block, including water. At about 4:30-5:00, all Cannibals will swim away from the island and die. Often, Basic Cannibals will become trapped on land, and die before they make it to the water.

- The Basic Cannibal can kill Boars and Chickens in one blow.
- Basic Cannibals have a currently unknown health.

Strategy
- Try using a Cannibal trap to lure all the Cannibals to one spot so you can kill them.
- Kill these to level up quick.
- Conversely, avoid killing these so that the more powerful Cannibals do not come as fast.
