Chomps Lewis

 is a quarry worker foreman living in the mining town of Sloan in 2281.

Background
He is a quarry worker foreman found at the road next to the Sloan mining camp. He may not be present at night. When you approach, he will engage a friendly conversation.

His daughter Melissa is an influential member of the Great Khans.

Interactions overview

 * Claws Mended: Chomps will tell you that his pet mole rat has been limping since a baby deathclaw slashed her leg. You can treat Snuffles' leg with a Medicine check of 30 or a doctor's bag.
 * Claws Out: The quarry workers can't work because the quarry is rife with deathclaws. No one in the camp is brave enough to get rid of them so it's up to the player to do it.
 * Don't Make a Beggar of Me: Chomps will have to be asked about the whereabouts of Tyrone, revealing he's down in Primm.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the player may find that Chomps has vanished from Sloan, despite the time of day or if the player fast travels to the town. If this is not due to a death (either by the player or a Deathclaw), the player can find him again by doing the following... Standing in front of the mining office front door, turn so that your compass is between NW and N. Walk forward (you are going past the pile of tires and to the left side of the Machine shop.) Chomps should be right in front of you/just behind the machine shop walking against a cliff wall. Due to the geography of this area, Chomps blends into the background and his radar icon seems to place him as the worker inside the machine shop meaning many players mistake his icon for the other NPC.
 * Be sure that no Deathclaws are following you into Sloan as they will kill everyone around the camp with ease. Resurrecting him is a option for PC users, or simply load a older save.
 * On some occasions after clearing the quarry of Deathclaws, it has been known that in the afternoon to night a random Deathclaw runs straight for Chomps Lewis from the opposite side of the buildings at Sloan and immediately attacks him, most times killing him. It is challenging trying to prevent his death so that you can get the reward and not failing the quest Don't Make a Beggar of Me. If you are patient you can wait for the deathclaw to come out, Or you may quickly collect the reward and then leave him to his fate.
 * Chomps may attack the player when they first approach, regardless of Karma, or Reputation. If he is killed, you will not be able to get a reward for completing the quest Claws Out. This happens very rarely and can usually be fixed by putting on faction armour and then removing it again, before running into Chomps' proximity.
 * Chomps may be attacked by a Bark scorpion if it spawns too close to town, and die from the poisoning. You can resurrect him by issuing these console commands: ,
 * From time to time, the game freezes when you are engaging in conversation with Chomps.
