Fallout 4 Creatures

General information
Creatures are animals, humans, and their mutated counterparts encountered in the Commonwealth and surrounding areas.

Legendary creatures
Most creature types have a chance to spawn as a legendary variant, as well as tiered named variants leading up to the legendary creature. A legendary creature will almost always drop a weapon or a piece of armor with unique modifiers (displayed on the Pip Boy with a star). For more information on these modifications, see Legendary effects.

In combat, legendary creatures are very powerful as they are stronger than non-legendary creatures of the same type (see below for specific differences), and they are often among the highest-leveled variants a player is capable of running into at their particular level. For example, a level 30 player seems more likely to encounter a legendary super mutant brute (approx. level 22) than a legendary super mutant (approx. level 10), but the lower-level encounter is still possible.

If a legendary enemy is not killed within a single shot, volley, or VATS session (depending on the weapon in use), once they lose half their health they will "mutate," regaining all health and possibly growing stronger.
