Spore Plant (Fallout: New Vegas)

Spore plants are creatures found in Vault 22 in the Mojave wasteland in 2281. If all spore plants are descended from those found in Vault 22 then their seeds have spread as far as Arroyo in southern Oregon by 2241.

Gameplay attributes
They have two methods of attacking. Because of its stationary nature, its most common attack is a spike projectile which it spits at its enemies. This projectile has a very long range can potentially be very harmful. If an enemy is to get too close, the mutant plant will lunge and bite with its thorned maw.

Spore plant
Found frequently throughout Vault 22, Zion Canyon and sparsely in Big MT, these creatures are weak and pose little to no threat, even to low level characters.

Giant spore plant
A giant and much tougher version of the regular spore plant that is frequently found in some of the caves of Zion National Park.

Dionaea Muscipula
A unique specimen of the spore plant found in The Big MT near the Signal Hills transmitter and is the most powerful variant of the spore plant.

Appearances
Spore plants appear in Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. The giant version appears only in the Honest Hearts add-on and Dionaea Muscipula only appears in the Old World Blues add-on.
