A hostile, silver-colored Brahmin with sparks flying off of it.

A Brahmin guarded by four laser turrets. By defeating the turrets and the Brahmin, you will find the 'Brahmin Armor' which turns the wearer into a Brahmin.

CPF vs. PFC
In this encounter, you'll find two different groups of civilians, the Canadian People's Front and the People's Front of Canada, standing in a derelict complex. Both groups are arguing with one another over the future of Canada. This is a parody of Monty Python's movie "Life of&#160;Brian".

Deathclaw Liberation
In this encounter, you'll find a woman named Janet Badall trying to talk to a Deathclaw inside of a fenced off area. After she says a few things, the Deathclaw will eventually kill her and leave the area. It is impossible to intervene or search Janet's corpse since the area is unreachable by the Warrior.

Hermit (special encounter)
Here you'll find a hermit surrounded by several friendly wolves. The hermit will trade a number of mid-level items with the Warrior.

Invasion Re-creationists
This one is funny. Some American people take a few steps over the Canadian border, and so they claim that Canada has been overrun (but they come back after a second, being really excited). They're led by Clarisse.

Komodo Man
In this encounter, you'll find Komodo Man wrestling a Komodo Dragon in front of a large audience. If you wait around long enough, the dragon will eventually incapacitate Komodo Man and the crowd will disperse.

The merchant will trade a number of items with you, notably an FN FAL, Gauss Pistol, and a Browning M2 and (post patch) several skill books.

Mir
The fallen, Soviet orbital research station.

Morte
Morte is a flying skull. He is floating around the wasteland, having landed in the Fallout world after accidentally going through a portal in a brothel window in Sigil. This is a reference to the video game Planescape: Torment.

Phil, the Nuka Cola dude(special encounter)
Phil has the thankless job of riding around the wasteland on his bike and refilling all of the Nuka-Cola machines that litter it. It's a tradition passed down from generation to generation. Phil is not impressed. He also caries one very special bottle of Nuka-Cola called Fusion Cola, and some Molotov Cocktails.

Pipboy (special encounter)
In this special encounter you find the famous Vault Boy, called Pipboy here, wandering around a radioactive playground. He speaks in a weird 50's style and carries an FN FAL. If you have full squad, he wanders away when you talk to him. If you have less than that, he joins you. He has a perfect 10 for his Luck stat.

Pitch Black
In this encounter, your group will start off in the center of the map, completely surrounded by darkness and a few pools of radiation. There are eighteen large deathclaws that patrol this map along with a special, friendly NPC named Riddick. If you manage to make it to exit zone while keeping Riddick alive, you'll be able to recruit him later at one of the Brotherhood of Steel bunkers.

Reaver Dance
In this encounter, you'll find a group of Reavers dancing on an elevated stage in the middle of the wasteland. There is nothing of note to be found or picked up here by the Warrior, nor can the Reavers be killed.

Sixth sense
Again a brahmin farm filled with ghost-brahmins and a living one, named Cole, that says, "I see dead brahmins". Spoof of the movie "The Sixth Sense".

Titanic
You found Jack Dawson. He has the "Heart of the Ocean" and an 'artistic' drawing of a girl. The gem will get you heaps of cash when sold.

Trader (special encounter)
The trader carries various guns and ammo, such as the Flamer Pistol, Needler Pistol, FN P90c, Rocket Launcher, and rare 12 Gauge EMP Shells, and assorted medical supplies.

Uprising
In this encounter, you'll find two Brotherhood of Steel Paladins, Hubert and McCarthy, standing outside of a BOS bunker reminiscent of ones found in Fallout and Fallout 2. The two Paladins have apparently killed a large number of civilians who were trying to gain access to the bunker. The Warrior cannot open the door to the bunker, regardless of his or her current rank.
