Dog (Fallout)

Just like before the Great War, dogs are animals commonly found all over the world.

Background
Through the 200 years since the War, dogs have stayed generally unaltered by radiation, which is seemingly a miracle. Dogs are a favored pet for traveling merchants and scavengers, as they provide both companionship and protection.

Biology
Dogs are quadrupedal canines that can run at incredible speeds allowing them to chase down prey. While running, they use their long tails to keep their balance. They are carnivorous, with sharp teeth designed to rip into the flesh of an animal.

Gameplay attributes
Dogs are usually encountered in packs. To low level characters, this could mean trouble since they can easily overwhelm the player and surround them. To higher level characters, they are little more than a nuisance. They can be difficult to put down as a result of their erratic and quick running patterns.
