Gecko (creature)

Geckos are lizards belonging to the family Gekkonidae. Before the Great War, they could be found in warm climates throughout the world and were of small to average size. After the Great War, several species of geckos mutated from the surrounding radiation and grew giant. They are often hunted for their sturdy skins, which can be tanned at a campfire and sold to merchants to make good leather armor. They often carry Gecko meat, Gecko hide or a Gecko egg.

Little Gecko


The little geckos are the easiest of them to kill. They can be found in such places as Oregon and Nevada.

Hunter Gecko
A gecko that is only found in Fallout: New Vegas. They are the same in comparison to a little gecko (above), in terms of appearance.

Golden Gecko
The golden gecko's are the more beautiful, but also more deadly kind of gecko. They can be found near toxic waste, which they seem to lick up. Though it's not said explicitly, obviously there seems to be a connection between the toxic/radioactive waste and the golden geckos. It can be assumed that exposure to some kind of toxic/radioactive material turns a normal gecko into a golden one.

Fire Gecko
Fire geckos are a more deadly kind of gecko. They appear mostly in late game and, as indicated by their name, can breathe fire due to the combination of unknown toxic substances held in their digestive system. Not surprisingly, they are immune to fire damage.
