Yao Guai

Yao Guai are the mutated descendants of the black bear. These vicious creatures are found in Appalachia, the Capital Wasteland, the Commonwealth, the Island, and Zion Canyon.

Background
 Named by descendants of those held in Chinese internment camps before the Great War. They are one of the more vicious creatures of the wasteland, having razor sharp claws and teeth, and a nasty temperament.

Gameplay
 They are able to reproduce and have cubs. Wild Yao Guai will attack nearly any other animals or people they encounter, including deathclaws. Despite this, Yao Guai can be domesticated like in the case of the Scavengers' Yao Guai.  Yao Guai may be hunted for their meat and hides. Yao Guai may be prepared into ribs and roasts. Yao Guai remains may be kept as trophies, trinkets or used as materials to make exotic weapons, such as Bear arm or She's Embrace.

Yao Guai
Variants include giant and cub Yao Guai.

Behind the scenes
 In Chinese mythology, Yao Guai are usually physical manifestations of the spirits of mistreated animals or fallen divine animals.
