Klamath

Klamath is a town formerly known as Klamath Falls. The location can be found four squares east of Arroyo.

Background
It is a small community of trappers that hunt the giant, mutant lizards called geckos in the area. Highly prized for their pelts, especially those of the golden geckos, they are the lifeblood of this community. Klamath is the stopping point for caravans on their way to the tiny tribal villages to the north, like Arroyo, and also serves as a place where members of those tribes can come and exchange information, goods, and news about the larger world.

A few months prior to the Chosen One coming to Klamath, the locals start to believe the mechanical screeching of the Mister Handy to be a spirit.

An Enclave Vertibird piloted by Daisy Whitman, crashed in the nearby canyon due to a rotor malfunction. A prop blade of which eventually was scavenged by Lily Bowen to make her sword.

The city was plagued by rats. Vic the trader, who lives in Klamath, has been captured by Metzger and needs to be rescued. The Chosen One visited Klamath and made the town a little more exciting for some time. Forty years on, it is still the same town where one can hunt, eat and skin geckos for pelts all day long, according to Klamath Bob.

Location
Klamath can be found four squares east of Arroyo.

Layout
Klamath is divided into four districts, one caves section, and one outside section:

Klamath Downtown


Downtown is the eastern part of Klamath. It is a mix of agricultural, residential and commercial uses. Plenty of Klamath's citizens can be found wandering around or visiting the two pubs. Aldo will be ready to greet the Chosen One when they arrive here.

Trapper Town


Trapper Town is the western part of Klamath, where the gecko trappers reside. Slim Picket is the top dog in this town, although he doesn't really have much to say, other than asking for the Chosen One's help with a vermin problem. Underneath the Trapper Town stretch the infamous Rat Caves.

Klamath Canyon


A Vertibird has burrowed its way into the dirt here. The passengers are dead, and an evil spirit haunts the area. What the Chosen One believes is an evil spirit is actually just a malfunctioning Mister Handy, sustaining damage from the crash.

Trapping Grounds


This area is found on the lower right of the entrance of Klamath. This is where Whiskey Bob's moonshine is, and the habitual hunting ground for gecko trappers, populated with a large number of golden and normal geckos.

Rat Caves


Under Klamath stretch eerie caves, filled with mole rats and a kind of rat god. The Rat Caves possess three sections.

Grazing Grounds


The grazing grounds is a place next to Klamath, where Torr's brahmin usually graze.

Toxic caves


The toxic caves are north of Klamath. It is a radioactive cave inhabited by geckos. Smiley, a trapper from Klamath, is waiting at the end of the second level for someone to save him.

Appearances
Klamath appears in Fallout 2 and mentioned by Klamath Bob, Daisy Whitman and Lily Bowen in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs
If the player character kills a Brahmin in Klamath Downtown, the game will end when the Chosen One leaves the city. This is because the brahmins in Klamath use the script of the brahmins in Arroyo, causing the same effect of killing a brahmin in Arroyo.
