Radstag (Fallout 76)

Radstags are creatures found in Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Radstags are common deer that have been recently mutated as a result of exposure to radiation in the fallout of the Great War. Because of this, radstags, like brahmin, have two heads, less fur and are sometimes covered in cysts.

Biology
Radstags are descended from deer that survived the Great War, resulting in mutations such as bicephaly and the presence of a third pair of atrophied legs. These two smaller legs hang from the upper part of the chest. When they feel safe, they can be seen drinking from water sources, pasture grass or bushes or resting while lying on the ground.

Gameplay attributes
Most radstags will flee on instinct when the player character or a predator approaches too close or attacks. However, some variants escape this rule and can attack their opponents with hooves or headbutts.

Radstag yearling
A juvenile variant of radstag. They are easily identifiable by their small size and their brownish coat peppered with small white spots. They will flee instinctively from the player character if they are too close or attacked. Very often, they are accompanied by several adult radstags.

Radstag doe
Female variant of radstag. Unlike males, they will instinctively flee the player character if they are too close or attacked although there are rare cases where they can attack their opponents. They are often accompanied by other radstags.

Radstag
The male variant, recognizable by their large antlers. They are often seen in small groups with other males or females.

Erratic radstag doe
A female variant of erratic radstag. Unlike the normal variant, erratic radstag doe does not hesitate to attack the player character or other creatures by hitting and even hunt his opponent if the latter runs away.

Albino radstag
An albino variant of radstag. The latter is much more aggressive than the normal variant and will attack the player character once found.

Erratic radstag
A variant of the radstag that visually seems to suffer from a strange disease or other contamination because of the coloring of its skin and eyes, the deformation of its hooves and woods and the presence of a pair hypertrophied canines. The latter does not hesitate to attack the player character or other creatures by inflicting violent blows of hooves or wood.

Rabid radstag
A radstag that appears to be suffering from rabies.

Devolved radstag doe
Female variant of devolved radstag. As erratic radstag, the latter does not hesitate to attack his opponents and chase them if they flee.

Glowing radstag
A luminescent variant of the radstag due to high radiation absorption. His fur, eyes, hooves and woods are luminescent. He will instinctively attack the player characteror other creatures that pose a threat. In addition to serious hoofs or woods, it inflicts radiation damage to the player character.

Devolved radstag
A strange variant of radstag, close to erratic radstag. Its fur, hypertrophied canines, hooves, eyes and deformed woods have a luminescent green hue. This variant is the most aggressive of the radstag and does not hesitate to attack the player character or other creatures, and even to pursue them if they escape.

Observant radstag
Found during the random enounter Follow the Trail.

Sickly radstag
A weakened radstag variant encountered during Project Paradise.
