Yao Guai (Fallout 4)

Yao guai are a species of mutated bears that inhabit the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
The name comes from the Chinese term "yao guai", which translates to "monster" or "demon". The name was given to the creature by the descendants of the Chinese that were living in internment camps during the Great War. Alternatively as it is a bear it could also have a double meaning referring also to 'Yogi' a nickname for bears, after the cartoon character.

The Yao guai is a mutated bear of debatable origin species in the Commonwealth. Possibly mutated from the black bears native to the region, these Yao guai are generally larger than their unmutated predecessors and are more aggressive. The physical build of the Commonwealth variant does not seem to drastically deviate from pre-war bears as much as the Yao guai in the Capital Wasteland and Mojave Wasteland. Comparatively, they are overall less dog-like in their posture and movement and actually sport thicker patches of fur and more fat. Since their upper body, chest, and arms are not as massive, the Commonwealth Yao guai have a more traditional bear-like posture and gait.

Gameplay attributes
The Stunted Yao Guai is a wasteland creature you can meet during the story campaign, in the quest Reunions. While following Dogmeat, one may appear. Alternatively they can spawn in specific locations around the wasteland when the player is at a lower level.

Appearances
Yao guai appear in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 4.
