Coyote (Fallout: New Vegas)

Coyotes are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland $$

Biology
Similar to dogs, coyotes do not appear to have been visibly altered after the Great War.

Gameplay attributes
Coyotes are very territorial and will attack the Courier if they come in close proximity to their group, unless the Courier has the Animal Friend perk. Coyotes are usually found in desolate areas of the Mojave, especially in caves and caverns, typically in packs of up to three or four. They are slightly stronger than dogs, but do comparable damage.

Coyote
Regular coyotes are the most common of the coyote family. They can be found in almost every corner of the map, but primarily along the I-15 and Goodsprings cave. One group can be found down the hill from the entrance to the hidden supply cave, and another group can be found close to the canyon wreckage entrance.

Coyote den mother
Den mothers protect the pups and are found in close proximity to them. They are slightly stronger and more durable than normal coyotes.

Coyote pack alpha
Coyote pack alphas watch over the pack and protect them from dangers that may come their way. They are the strongest and most durable variant of coyote.

Coyote pup
The offspring of a coyote. They are smaller and weaker than normal coyotes, on par with radroaches in terms of durability. The pups generally stay close to their den mother who is a much larger threat. If the Courier gets too close, they will attack along with their parents.

Appearances
Coyotes appear in Fallout: New Vegas.
