Gecko (creature)

Geckos are lizards belonging to the family Gekkonidae. Before the Great War, they could be found in warm climates throughout the world and were of small to average size. After the Great War, several species of geckos mutated from the surrounding radiation and grew giant. They are often hunted for their sturdy skins, which make good leather armor.

Little Gecko


The little geckos are the easiest of them to kill. They can be found in such places as Oregon and Nevada.

Hunter Gecko
A gecko that is only found in Fallout: New Vegas. They are the same in comparison to a little gecko (above), in terms of appearance.

Golden Gecko
The golden gecko is the more beautiful, but also more deadly kind of gecko. They can be found near toxic waste, which they seem to lick up. Though it's not said explicitly, obviously there seems to be a connection between the toxic/radioactive waste and the golden geckos. It can be assumed that exposure to some kind of toxic/radioactive material turns a normal gecko into a golden one.

Fire Gecko
Fire gecko is the most deadly kind of geckos, they appear mostly in late game and as indicated by their name, can breathe fire thanks to unknown toxic substances being combined in their gut. Not surprisingly, they are immune to fire damage.
