Cazador

es are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Characteristics
A mutant insect species, Cazadores appear to have their origin in Tarantula Hawk Wasps.

Although originally appearing in Fallout 1, in the time of Fallout: New Vegas, their size increased to about the same size as a human's torso.

The danger in encountering them is that they attack in large numbers and use a toxin that is deadly. They also tend to appear in sizeable groups. Most early weapons do little damage to the Cazadores, though like other insects they are weak to Armor Piercing ammo and the Flamer.

An easy way for low level players to dispatch Cazadors is to use a Flamer or preferably an Incinerator (obtained in the Bison Steve hotel on the Convict leader easily) to deal damage from afar, and then switch to a shotgun and target the wings whilst backpedalling. When faced with a group of Cazadors, it is advisory to use Med-X, hotkey Stimpaks, and, with your weapon holstered (if it's a rifle, defend yourself with a pistol), run for your life, trying to get to friendly characters if possible. Cazadors do often appear near to civilisation.

Bugs

 * It is impossible to target the head of a Cazador in Vats unless it is striking forward with it's stinger, the Courier is right on top of the enemy or the Cazador is moving on a slope towards the player. Without meeting these conditions the head can never be cycled to as an option in Vats (only the antennae).
 * It is possible they will become stuck in the air close to the ground. They will still move and can clearly seen and be targeted in VATS, but your shots will always miss.

Appearances
es appear in Fallout: New Vegas.
