Bloatfly (Fallout 3)

Bloatflies are mutated insects living in the Capital Wasteland in 2277.

Background
The radioactive fallout resulting from the Great War mutated the tiny blowfly into the large, menacing bloatfly that is potentially lethal at a substantial range.

Biology
The standard bloatfly is covered in a green and brown carapace, with four short antennae on the top of its head, large eyes and no teeth. It prefers to attack at long range, using its own larva (each of which sports a wicked dart-like spine) launched from the abdomen. An individual fly's supply of larvae is seemingly inexhaustible and unless evaded or eliminated, the creature will pursue a target relentlessly. Bloatflies typically live in small groups of two to four individuals, but can be encountered on their own. Despite the increased size, they have no difficulty staying airborne.

Game attributes
Individually, they do not inflict much damage, but in swarms, bloatflies can be a moderate threat to low-level characters (especially weak companions). Their carapaces are not particularly effective as a protection against any type of weapon. However, due to their fast, erratic movement and small size, compared to other denizens of the Wastes, bloatflies are a challenge to shoot without V.A.T.S.. They have a slow speed of pursuit, making it easy to escape them even with low Agility.

Bloatfly
Bloatflies are enormous blowflies with a mean streak. In significant numbers they pose a minor threat to high-level player characters, but can prove lethal to low-level characters.

Locations
A large group of bloatflies can be found throughout the entrance area of Vault 92. Two other significant locations are northeast of Reclining Groves Resort Homes, where they feed off the corpses of some dead wastelanders, and between Fort Independence and Fairfax ruins, on the hillside near a collapsed overpass highway.

Appearances
Bloatflies appear in Fallout 3 and another version is found in Fallout 4.
