Deathclaw mother (Fallout: New Vegas)

Deathclaw mothers are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Characteristics
Matriarchs of the deathclaw broods, mother deathclaws are bigger, stronger, and more easily angered than your run-of-the-mill deathclaw. They usually trawl dark areas near their pups or eggs, and are more than eager to tear apart pretty much anything that the Wasteland throws at their babies.

If you decide to try and take the stealthy approach to kill it, it is best to have a powerful long-range sniper rifle (anti-materiel rifle, gauss rifle, etc.) over to the side of Where Melissa is, there is a big box like stucture thats connected to a pathway that is suspended high in the air. Jump on top of the box, and look through your sniper. Somewhere around the lower-left area will be the deathclaw mother and her babies. Note: killing one of her babies will cause her to go berserk, attacking any other living thing (besides the other babies of course) in that area.

Behind the scenes
The Deathclaw mothers appearance is strikingly similar to the creature in the 1998 American film "Godzilla"

Appearances
Deathclaw mothers appear in Fallout: New Vegas. They also appear in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
