Dog (Fallout)

Dogs are animals commonly found across the former American Southwest in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Background
Dogs are a favored pet for traveling merchants and scavengers, as they provide both companionship and protection.

Biology
Dogs are quadrupedal canines that can run at incredible speeds allowing them to chase down prey. While running, they use their long tails to keep their balance. They are carnivorous.

Gameplay attributes
Dogs are usually encountered in packs. To low level characters, this could mean trouble since they can easily overwhelm and surround them. To higher level characters, they are little more than a nuisance. They can be difficult to put down as a result of their erratic and quick running patterns. They cannot open doors.

Dog
The average wasteland canine. They can be encountered throughout the wasteland.

Wild dog
A slightly tougher variation of the average dog. As they live in the wild, they can be found throughout the wasteland.
