Whale (Fallout 4)

Whales are creatures found in the Commonwealth and on the Island

Gameplay
The creature is always found deceased along waterway coasts, sometimes with innards exposed. Others are on the decks of boats or found being fed upon by mirelurks. Some whale corpses will explode if struck.

Locations

 * Two on the wreck of the USS Riptide.
 * On a boat west of the Beantown Brewery.
 * On a boat southwest of the Cambridge Polymer Labs.
 * Along the northern coast of Spectacle Island.
 * Deep underwater near a shipwreck to the northeast of Fort Strong.
 * Found at such a depth that most player characters could drown or be lethally irradiated before finding it without the Aquaboy/Aquagirl perk.
 * On a platform covered in debris in Libertalia.
 * At the bottom of the rocky mountain west of the Rook family house.
 * On the beach in front of Sandy Coves Convalescent Home.
 * In front of the boardwalk at Revere Beach station.
 * Scattered throughout the docks behind the Shamrock Taphouse.
 * Nine dead creatures (one of which has a human skeleton sticking out of its ruptured stomach and spawns a random melee weapon) can be found on a beach west of wreck of the FMS Northern Star.
 * On the dock directly in front of the entrance to Hester's Consumer Robotics, a small whale is found in a bathtub.
 * An intact corpse can be found beached just south of Kingsport Lighthouse.
 * Two can be found near the Cranberry Island supply shed.

Appearances
Whales appear in Fallout 4 and its add-on Far Harbor.

Behind the scenes

 * The whale was designed by Gabrielle Adams and created in ZBrush. It is referred to as the "exploding whale" in her ArtStation portfolio. In game files, one render is named dolphin, and the texture is labeled whale.
 * The whale found on the boat west of Beantown Brewery is a reference to the film Jaws.
 * The whale is seen in the animation for the cut quest 20 Leagues Under the Sea.
