Cazador

es are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Characteristics
A mutant insect species, Cazadores appear to have their origin in Tarantula Hawk Wasps. They appear in three forms: smaller, less powerful Young Cazadores, stronger adults, known simply as Cazadores, and one legendary cazador. They are generally found in mountainous regions of the Mojave wasteland.

The danger in encountering them is that they attack in large numbers and use a deadly toxin. The only way to cure poison is to use Antivenom (though a high endurance may allow the player to resist the poison altogether). Additionally, they will close the distance between themselves and their prey with alarming speed. Cazador eggs and Cazador poison glands are crafting items.

Because of their bizarrely high Perception, Cazadores will often see the player before he/she can see them; a character that doesn't specialize in Sneak is unlikely to be able to sneak past them.

Fairly often, Cazadors pose a serious threat to lower-level characters. If the PC wanders into a swarm of Cazadors, it is very difficult to kill them or escape. For this reason, many areas where Cazadors live become essentially impassable.

Statistics
Cazador poison: -5 HP/second, -25 AP, lasts 30 seconds. Note that the action point reduction is once per application, and affects your maximum action points, rather than -25/second affecting your current AP total.

Bugs

 * It is impossible to target the head of a Cazador in VATS unless it is striking forward with its stinger, the Courier is right on top of the enemy or the Cazador is moving on a slope towards the player. Without meeting these conditions the head can never be cycled to as an option in Vats (only the antennae).
 * It is possible they will become stuck in the air close to the ground. They will still move and can clearly be seen and be targeted in VATS, but your shots will always miss.
 * At Callville Bay if a Cazador goes in the water it may be unable to get out.
 * Cazadores may occasionally noclip their way to you, going straight through any obstacles in their path.

Appearances
es appear in Fallout: New Vegas.
