Deathclaw (Fallout 2)

Deathclaws are creatures in Fallout 2.

Gameplay attributes
The creatures are mutated Jackson's Chameleons. They are described as having sharp teeth, muscles, and claws. Deathclaws lay eggs, pairings decided by the pack leader. If the pack mother passes away, a new mate is chosen.

There are several varieties of deathclaw, including those found in random encounters across the wasteland, often in groups of two to five and sometimes including young and baby deathclaws. Two other variants include tough deathclaws and intelligent deathclaws occupying Vault 13, created by the Enclave in an effort to create expendable soldiers. Goris, the son of the Vault 13 pack leader Gruthar, is a recruitable companion.
