Spore Plant (Fallout: New Vegas)

Spore plants are creatures found in Vault 22 in the Mojave wasteland in 2281. If all spore plants are descended from those found in Vault 22 then their seeds have spread as far as Arroyo in southern Oregon by 2241.

Gameplay attributes
They have two methods of attacking. The most common attack is a spike projectile which it spits at its enemies. The other form of attack is a bite with its thorned maw. They are immune to poison and radiation.

Spore plant
Found only in Vault 22, in Zion with Honest Hearts, and sparsely in Big MT with Old World Blues, these creatures are weak and pose a threat only to low level characters.



Giant spore plant (Honest Hearts)
A giant and much tougher version of the regular spore plant, found in some of the caves of Zion National Park.



Dionaea Muscipula (Old World Blues)
A unique version of the spore plant found in The Big Empty near the Signal Hills Transmitter and is currently the most powerful variant of the spore plant.



Appearances
Spore plants appear in Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. The giant version appears only in the Honest Hearts add-on and Dionaea Muscipula only appears in the Old World Blues add-on.

Behind the scenes
The name Dionaea Muscipula is a the scientific name of the Venus Flytrap. This may imply that the Spore plants are mutated from the Venus Flytrap plant.
