Cazador

es are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Characteristics
Another mutant insectoid species, Cazadores appear to have their origin in Tarantula Hawk Wasps.

Although originally appearing in Fallout 1, in the time of Fallout New Vegas, their size increased to that of a basket ball. Regular Cazadores are about the same size as a human's torso. The real danger in encountering them is that they use a toxin that can be quite deadly to the weak, old, and wounded unfortunate to encounter them. The young and regular Cazadores are especially dangerous to those on higher difficulties, players of lower skill set, and/or players new to the game. Most beginner weapons do little damage to the Cazadores, though like other insects, they seem to be weak to Armor Piercing ammo and slugs. The most effective way to kill these insects is the use of the flamer. Although it can be used in VATS mode, it is more effective to free aim as they will maneuver quickly and attack from different sides. Be careful to ration your flames so you do not run out. To help out before attacking with the flamer, throw a plasma grenade into their group as it will lower their health before they encounter you. The Grenade Launcher is also very effective towards them. Another strategy for taking out a group of Crazadores is to single one out in VATS and shoot at its antennas, in which it will usually go on a rampage and start fighting the other Cazadores.
