Swampfolk

Swampfolk are hostile NPCs encountered in the Fallout 3 add-on: Point Lookout. Their physical deformities are most likely the result of inbreeding and the New Plague mentioned in one of the terminals in the Disaster Relief Outpost. Another reason for their hideous appearance could be due to the inevitable nuclear fallout from the Great War. Although the bombs never fell at Point Lookout, radioactive particles would eventually circulate throughout the atmosphere and eventually travel back down to earth. Irradiation would soon follow. They are typically equipped with Axes, Shovels, Lever-Action Rifles and Double-Barrel Shotguns. Swampfolk all act and sound like stereotypical "hicks" from the odd ways they walk, to what they say such as "I gonna kill you!"

Behaviour
They attack in usually groups of 2-4 but are more territorial than other enemies the Player has faced before. If they detect you, they'll be on guard, however if you're within their space (or physically attack them in any way) then they'll attack. Frighteningly, their tactics and strength is far greater than one would think. Usually groups will consist of one close combat Swampfolk, and two other swampfolk with firearms. While the melee one charges at you, the other two will fire at you, and even while a far distance away, they can still hit you with shotguns.

Swampfolk, just like tribals, do an additional 35 damage (unresistable) to the player with all of the weapons they normally use due to an object enchantment in the DLC's data files. This makes them much more dangerous than most enemies in the game.

Varieties
There are 5 basic variants of Swampfolk which 3 different archetypes when it comes to appearance. Scrappers and Creepers are the smallest, Brawlers are medium-sized and Trackers as well as Bruiser are the largest.

Scrapper
Scrappers are the smallest Swampfolk, skinny with distended bellies and only wearing pants. Depending on their preference, they either carry Baseball Bats or BB Guns and Hunting Rifles.

Creeper
Despite sharing the same body structure, Creepers are stronger and have more health than Scrappers, have blonde hair, and have blood on their hands, chest, and pants, suggesting that they are older or have more battle experience than the weaker Scrappers. Melee-oriented Creepers attack with Shovels, Tire Irons or Axes whereas the ranged combatants prefer Lever-Action Rifles and Double-Barrel Shotguns.

Brawler
Brawlers are big, but not as big as Trackers and Bruisers, and wear clothes that actually fit them. Coming in both ranged and melee variants, they either use Combat Knifes and Baseball Bats or Lever-Action Rifles and Double-Barrel Shotguns.

Tracker
Trackers are very large swampfolk who use Axes to attack strangers in close combat. They run with an interesting hop to their step, and are very strong. Like the Bruiser, even when unequipped with a melee weapon at all, they can still inflict extreme amounts of damage with only their fists.

Bruiser
Bruisers are stronger and have more health than Trackers, and like Creepers, have blood on their face, arms, chest, and pants, suggesting that they are older or have more fighting experience. Their jacket is a different color, being dark blue instead of dark green. Like their "smaller" cousins, the Trackers, they engage only in melee combat and use Axes. Like the Tracker, even when unequipped with a melee weapon at all, they can still inflict extreme amounts of damage with only their fists.
