Centaur (Fallout 3)

Centaurs come from Vault 87 FEV, and are used as super mutant watchdogs.

About
Centaurs can pose, at best, a moderate threat level to players but are generally a weak enemy. Their weak spot is their long, tentacle-like tongues which can be easily targeted in V.A.T.S. Usually they don't carry anything, although they sometimes have chems like Jet, small amounts of caps, and rarely random items like teddy bears, leather belts, pass cards, etc. Another possible drop is a bobby pin or two. They spit slow moving, radioactive projectiles as a ranged attack which may ignite nearby gas leaks, but is relatively easy to dodge. The damage done by the spit itself is low, but can increase your rads quickly (+4 per second for 10 seconds). When up close, the centaur whips its tongue at you. This melee attack is rather delayed, usually slower than the player's melee attacks. Centaurs are rarely found wandering alone and so may indicate that super mutants are nearby.

Appearances
