Coyote (Fallout: New Vegas)

Coyotes are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Biology
Similar to dogs, coyotes do not appear to have been visibly altered after the Great War, possibly due to sheltering from radiation.

Gameplay attributes
Coyotes are very territorial and will attack the player character if they stay near for too long. Coyotes are usually found in packs of up to three or four in the more desolate areas of the Mojave, especially caves. They are slightly stronger than dogs, but do about the same amount of damage.

They're not much of a threat to well armed players. Characters at lower levels or those playing on higher difficulty may have a difficult time, especially if taking on large groups.

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 the area between Goodsprings and the Yangtze Memorial. 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 stay back while the others are off hunting and look after the pups. If any danger comes, they will protect their pups with their lives.

Coyote pack alpha
Coyote pack alphas watch over the pack and protect them from dangers that may come their way.

Coyote pup
The offspring of a coyote. They are smaller and weaker than normal coyotes, on par with radroaches in terms of durability, and are rarely a hassle even for low-leveled players. They generally stay close to the den mother. If the player gets too close they will attack along with their parents.
