Snuffles

Snuffles is a friendly, but injured mole rat living in Sloan in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
So named for the snorting noise she makes when sniffing about, Snuffles is a tamed mole rat living in Sloan managing to keep the morale up even though the quarry workers can't work because of all the deathclaws. She originally helped the miners by digging tunnels and assisting in the mining at the quarry. Although when the Powder Gangers attacked and stole explosives, they allowed the pack of deathclaws to move in, forcing the crew to abandon the quarry. Her leg was badly injured by a baby deathclaw during the escape and none of the miners or their foreman Chomps Lewis are skilled enough to heal her leg, though the Courier may be able to. The injury also resulted in Snuffles walking with a limp.

Quests

 * Claws Mended: Snuffles is a mole rat that seems to have a damaged leg; the Courier can heal this leg if they have 30 points in Medicine. This will gain some NCR fame if Chomps Lewis is informed of the good deed. The Courier can also stop by once in a while to ask her how things are going.

Appearances
Snuffles appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
At some point during development, Snuffles was indicated as being male instead of female.
