Deathclaw (Fallout 3)

Deathclaws are creatures $$

Characteristics
The creatures are found throughout the Capital Wasteland, creating nests where eggs are found. Branchtender Linden describes his experience with deathclaws, where he was the only survivor of his Brotherhood Outcasts squad after an attack by the creatures. Deathclaws were experimented upon by the Enclave in attempt to create expendable soldiers.

Enclave deathclaws appear in faction camps, some of which are in cages. The domestication units on their heads can be targeted and crippled, which will frenzy them. Enclave deathclaws may also be dropped off from vertibirds, along with soldiers and sentry bots.

During the quest The American Dream, a deathclaw can be seen in a cage in Raven Rock. This deathclaw has not yet been fitted with the mind-control device and can be released from captivity with a Lockpick skill of 50. When released, it will attempt to kill anything in sight including the player character.

Bugs

 * Deathclaws occasionally fly off into the sky in a physics engine glitch. They can still be targeted and killed in V.A.T.S. which will result in their dead body flying across a large amount of land.
 * A deathclaw may spawn inside Regulator HQ and attack everyone. It will continue to spawn in this manner after the first time this happens.
 * When using the deathclaw control scrambler, it is possible for them to not follow the player, but die automatically.
 * A deathclaw may spawn inside Tenpenny Tower and attack everyone. It will continue to spawn in this manner after the first time this happens.
 * A deathclaw may spawn inside Megaton and will kill everyone. However, the deathclaw will not be hostile towards the player. This problem can be fixed by removing the deathclaw from the game with console commands.
