Deathclaw mother (Fallout: New Vegas)

Deathclaw mothers are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Characteristics
Matriarchs of the deathclaw broods, mother Deathclaws are bigger, stronger, and more easily angered than your run-of-the-mill Deathclaw, seconded only by the Legendary deathclaw and tied with the deathclaw alpha. They usually travel dark areas near their pups or eggs, and are more than eager to tear apart pretty much anything that the Wasteland throws at their babies.

If you decide to try and take the stealthy approach to kill it, it is best to have a powerful long-range sniper rifle (anti-materiel rifle, gauss rifle, etc.). Note: Killing one of her babies will cause her to go berserk, which will make her attack any other living thing (besides the babies, of course, and the deathclaw alpha male) in that area.
