Cricket (creature)

Crickets are insects that survived the Great War.

Background
It is unknown if typical crickets mutated in any way, since they are not seen in-game and are only able to be heard at night. Cave crickets (encountered at Nuka-World and in Appalachia), however, did grown in size through mutation and can be encountered in-game.

Locations
They are most commonly found in hospitable populated regions, or areas with large amounts of woodland. Known locations for crickets are the Capital Wasteland, Point Lookout, the Mojave Wasteland, the Commonwealth, the Island, and Zion Canyon.

Appearances
Crickets are heard in Fallout 3 and its add-on Point Lookout, Fallout: New Vegas and its add-on Honest Hearts, Fallout 4 and its add-on Far Harbor, and were also to be heard in Van Buren. Cave crickets are seen in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World, and in Fallout 76 and its add-on Nuclear Winter.
