Wanamingo



Wanamingos are strange mutant animals. They are not aliens, but word is they were designed as FEV-tailored weapons for waging war on other countries... and they got loose. They do live a long time, but they were dying out at the time of Fallout 2. They are also often called aliens, due to their similarity to the xenomorph from the Alien movies. They hatch from eggs laid by the queen, which is larger than the other wanamingos and grey in color.

The only known queen lived in the Wanamingo Mine in Redding, owned by Ascorti. All aliens living in that mine were killed by the Chosen One in 2242. Some other wanamingos could be found in the desert, and in the San Francisco tanker.

Appearances in games
Wanamingos appear only in Fallout 2.

Combat tips
Beware of the wanamingos as they are fast, have a high damage resistance and hit multiple times. They have a weakness though, they retreat from battle if one of their legs gets crippled. The grey wanamingo queen can lay eggs for the reproduction of the wanamingos. She can usually be found deep underground in her breeding room.
