Stripe

Stripe is a creature found in the Big Empty in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Background
Stripe is a Wild Wasteland encounter of a miniature deathclaw found in Higgs Village inside of Gabe's doghouse. In front of Gabe's doghouse is a "chicken" leg and Gabe's bowl, a unique dog bowl. Gabe's bowl can be brought back to Dr. Borous to complete the quest A Brain's Best Friend.

Gameplay attributes
Despite his small size, he is quite powerful. Having the same amount of HP as a Legendary Deathclaw, he may kill players who are caught off guard. However, Stripe will only pursue the player as far as the sidewalk before retreating back to the doghouse.

Appearances
Stripe appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Old World Blues.

Behind the scenes
Stripe may be a reference to the lead antagonist in the film Gremlins. This is likely due to the somewhat similar appearance of a "miniature deathclaw" to a gremlin, and the fact that Stripe is a wild wasteland encounter.
