Cazador

es are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Characteristics
A mutant insect species, Cazadores appear to have their origin in Tarantula Hawk Wasps. They appear in three forms: smaller, less powerful Young Cazadores, stronger adults, known simply as Cazadores, and one legendary cazador. They are generally found in mountainous regions of the Mojave wasteland.

The danger in encountering them is that they attack in large numbers and use a deadly toxin. The only way to cure poison is to use Antivenom (though a high endurance may allow the player to resist the poison altogether). Cazador eggs and Cazador poison glands are crafting items.

Cazadors have a high perception.

Bane of snipers, even when [hidden] they will not stop moving. Additionally, they will close the distance between themselves and you with alarming speed. Use fast firing/high dps weapons with fast reload (or very high clip size). Some recommanded weapons are Riot Shotgun, Light machine gun with ammo mod, Flamer, Grenade Machinegun.

If you have high action points, aim for wings in vats. Cazadore with s crippled wing will only be able to crawl towards you at reduced speed, making it easy target

Cazadors will rarely set off mines as they can fly. If you plan to lay a trap, use C4+detonator instead.

Using Unarmed/Melee is unadvised.

Statistics
Cazador poison: -5 HP/second, -25 AP, lasts 30 seconds. Note that the action point reduction is once per application, and affects your maximum action points, rather than -25/second affecting your current AP total.

Bugs

 * It is impossible to target the head of a Cazador in VATS unless it is striking forward with its stinger, the Courier is right on top of the enemy or the Cazador is moving on a slope towards the player. Without meeting these conditions the head can never be cycled to as an option in Vats (only the antennae).
 * At Callville Bay if a Cazador goes in the water it may be unable to get out.

Appearances
es appear in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
