Deathclaw (Fallout 4)

Deathclaws are creatures found in the Commonwealth.

Characteristics
Judging from the currently released footage, deathclaws are still tough and formidable melee combatants with the Sole Survivor making use of T-60 power armor and a minigun to kill one. Their appearance is also more detailed compared to their Fallout 3 and New Vegas predecessors, they have darker, scaled skin and longer horns and claws. The Massachusetts deathclaws also appear to run on all fours when in combat, unlike the deathclaws of previous titles.

Biology
Deathclaws are the result of a pre-War experiment that involved creating a mutation of the Jackson's Chameleon, along with several other species, to use as weapons on the battlefield. They are strong, agile predators that will attack the player on sight. Their long and sharp claws are capable of inflicting great amounts of damage on the player, sometimes deadly (hence their name).

Gameplay attributes
Deathclaws may have the ability to instantly kill the Sole Survivor, as seen in Fallout 4's E3 Showcase in which a deathclaw grapples the player by the neck and shoves its claws into their chest.

Appearances
Deathclaws appear in Fallout 4.
