Gehenna (Van Buren)

Gehennae are horrible monsters found only in Burham Springs. They are slightly larger than humans and appear to be made of black tar and shiny oil. They are vaguely human-shaped, but their features are hard to analyze through the flames that constantly sputter across their bodies. Their eyes are bulbous glowing orange spheres that seem stuck into their ovoid heads. The Gehennae are dangerous both for their fiery melee attacks and the toxic fumes they breathe onto enemies. When they die, they collapse into a disgusting pile of smoking black goo. Gehennae are fairly mindless monsters, usually attacking anyone they see who moves too quickly. They have very poor senses, and can sometimes overlook creatures that stand still. They are related to the even more dangerous molechs.

The existence of Gehenna in the original Fallout are vaguely alluded to, although the creature does not appear in the game. The Ancient Brotherhood Tape (see: Holodisk) recovered from The Glow states: "Camarillo seemed fine physically, but he wandered off about an hour ago, mumbling something about Gehenna. That bastard has all the anti-rads."

Appearances in games
Gehennae have not appeared in any published game. They were to appear only in Van Buren the cancelled Fallout 3 by Black Isle.
