Brahmin (Fallout: New Vegas)

Brahmin are creatures living in the Mojave Wasteland

Background
Descendants of pre-War cattle, brahmin are very weak animals that have been domesticated and herded throughout the years since the Great War. They can be seen wandering in herds around the Mojave Wasteland, albeit rarely.

Through their domestication, they have been used primarily for meat and milk, and their hides are tanned to make leather. Traders use them to carry heavy loads, while others, such as Cook-Cook, keep them as pets.

Gameplay
Brahmin have eight stomachs and, according to Rose, male brahmin have four testicles. Their skin has turned a toasty, dusty orange-red color from exposure to radiation, and their horns have become a dirty brown. Their udders almost drag on the ground.

Brahmin have a minuscule amount of Hit Points, and as such pose only a very minor threat, if any, even for a low-level Courier. When brahmin attack, they strike with their horns and batter into a foe. This is not highly damaging and is rarely seen, as brahmin generally flee when attacked. When a brahmin is killed, it will let out a loud bellow and flop to the ground.

Variants
A regular brahmin with all the attributes mentioned above. These are the most common brahmin in the Mojave.

Mad brahmin
Mad brahmin have been frenzied. They will always be hostile to the player unless they have the Animal Friend perk.

Malnourished brahmin
Malnourished brahmin are sickly brahmin that have been neglected and cannot find food on their own. Their meat is unaffected by their malnutrition. They can be found in various locations throughout the Mojave Wasteland, such as the Matthews Animal Husbandry Farm.

Malnourished brahmin calf
Malnourished brahmin calves are young brahmin that cannot find sufficient food to maintain full health, usually because they have been deserted by their owners. Their meat is unaffected by their malnutrition. They can be found across the Mojave at places such as the Matthews Animal Husbandry Farm. There is also one in front of Raul's shack.

Fiend brahmin
Fiend brahmin are brahmin that are owned by the Fiends and are located at Cook-Cook's fort. They are not part of the Fiend's faction cell and are friendly to the player unless provoked. There are two unnamed fiend brahmin and one named "Queenie," the death of which will frenzy Cook-Cook.

Water brahmin
These brahmin assist the Crimson Caravan in delivering water where it is needed. Fixed locations are near Miguel's Pawn Shop and the 188 Trading Post. Although they carry water packs, they will not yield any water when killed and looted.
