Dying mutant

The dying mutant is a scout for the Master's Army around 2161.

Background
This mutant is one of the first people who were dipped in the FEV vats in the Mariposa Military Base. He can be found in the deathclaw's lair near the Hub, hurt badly after being assaulted by a deathclaw and dragged to its lair.

Quests

 * Find the missing caravans: When the Vault Dweller finds the mutant, he will be mumbling crazily to himself, and when he is approached, he mistakes the Vault Dweller for the Master. He holds the mutant transmissions holodisk, which reveals that it is actually the super mutants that are behind the disappearance of caravans, not the infamous deathclaw.

The Vault Dweller can loot the holodisk from the mutant, and bring it to Butch Harris in the Hub to gain experience, completing the quest.

Rather than speaking to the mutant first, it is possible to kill him for 300 XP as well as loot both the radio and the holodisk.

Appearances
The dying mutant appears only in Fallout.
