Alias 'The Magpie' (2018)
> x cage (@ Gorilla Enclosure)
All that lies between you and freedom is this door made from heavy iron bars. The cage door uses a strong, but crude, three lever tumbler lock, which would be simplicity itself to open with your set of lockpicks.
Arborea (2022)
> x cage (@ Serengeti Simulation Room)
Like the sort you used to get in zoos before zoos stopped using animals, this one has a large lock on it (which perhaps is just as well).
Babel (1997)
> x cages (@ Lab Hall III)
The three cages are identical. Each is smallish, glows a shifting blue, and contains two dead and decaying mice.
> x cages (@ Terran Gallery)
About half the cages are empty, the others containing odd animals that can not be natural. Even the normal looking animals have odd, unsettling traits to them. Many are dead, in varying stages of decay, and, even as you quietly thank God that the cages keep in the smell, you feel yourself becoming nauseous.

In the cages are every manner of bird and bat, most reduced to sharp, half-feathered skeletons, looking hungrily through the cages at each other. One bat-like creature gazes at you with far too intelligent eyes through the suddenly delicate steel mesh that holds it. The door to one large cage swings open on its hinges. Did something escape? Is it hungry?
Baluthar (2003)
> x cages (@ Dungeon)
Each is barely large enough to hold a small, crouching person. The metal bars are only an inch or so apart.
> x cage (@ Dungeon)
Rykhard's is one of many cages, stacked against the walls. Like the others, it is only just large enough to hold a person, and the bars are very close together.
Beet the Devil (2011)
> x cage (@ Kennels)
The bird dog and all her puppies are penned up in a cage on the south wall.
Behavior (1998)
> x cage (@ William James Hall - Behavioral Science Lab)
A wire cage equipped with flashing lights, switches that respond to the peck of a chicken beak, and a controllable food dispenser. It is wired to a foot square box with flashing lights, switches that respond to the push of a student finger, and no food dispenser. It took long training for you to learn when to push each button; a food dispenser would have helped.

> x birdcage (@ Experiment Room)
Large, made of iron and very ugly. It is tubular in shape, rising to a dome. It is hanging from the ceiling by a length of chain.
The Bryant Collection (2009)
> x cage (@ Purple Room)
This is a cage made from interlaced steel wire. It's very sturdy-looking, and has no entrances or exits beyond the square hole in the floor inside it. It's attached to the right wall, the floor, and the ceiling in such a way that the wire forms three walls of the enclosure and the outer wall of the room forms the fourth. It takes up almost half of the room. In the cage is a glass case containing an enormous jewel.

Small for giants, I meant. It's about 50ft high.
In The House of Professor Evil: The HAM HOUSE (2006)

It's old, rusty, and heavy. However ... If the door weren't ripped off, you're sure it could still serve admirably in its purpose.

> x cage (@ Boardroom)

Moon-Shaped (2006)
> x cage (@ Burned Ground)
Wide, flat bands of iron wrap vertically and horizontally around a cubical space. At each intersection point, the crossing bands are bound by a thick rivet. There's no visible way to open the cage, although the spacing of the bands might allow you reach inside [if candies inside], where you can see some orange candies [end if].

Stuff of Legend (2020)
> x cage (@ Workshop)
At one time, this large brass cage might have housed several small animals. Now it is useless, its bars bent open and outwards. Whatever used to be in here appears to have escaped without using the door.
Toonesia (1995)
> x cage (@ The Edge of the Woods)
It's a sturdy metal cage. [if Taz in it] Inside it, and trying desperately to get out, is a Tazmanian Devil. Fortunately, it's closed. [else] Currently, it's [closed or open]. [end if] Through the bars, you can see what looks like a thin metal pipe--the top of a chimney, perhaps--protruding through the ground.
> x cage (@ Inside a Cage)

Wearing the Claw (1996)
> x cage (@ Town Square)
The bars of this cage, which appears to have no door, course with crackling blue mystical energies. There not even enough room between the bars for your hand to fit through, let alone your body.
You Are Here (2001)
> x cage (@ Ancient Shrine)
A heavy bronze cage sits on top of the platform. The cage is enclosed on all four sides and the top. Its bars are slightly thicker than your finger, spaced about an inch apart in a criss-cross pattern. The floor of the cage is the stone surface of the platform; a rectangular indentation, carved in the cage's dimensions, keeps it from sliding around. [if has ruby, add:] Inside the cage is a ruby the size of your fist, glowing with an unnatural light.
