Mongrel (Fallout 76)

Mongrels are creatures found in Appalachia.

Background
Mongrels can be encountered frequently throughout Appalachia. They are aggressive and will hunt anything wandering nearby.

Biology
Mongrels have little to no fur, with pink or pale white skin. The adverse effects of radiation have given mongrels a withered, skeletal appearance.

Gameplay attributes
They will only perform standard bite and claw attacks. When alone, they are weak but a group can be difficult to take down. They will attack from all directions, making it difficult to focus on a single mongrel.

This is the base variant of the wild mongrel.

Scorched mongrel
