Gecko (Fallout: New Vegas)

Little geckos are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland. They appear to be mutated Gecko Lizards.

Characteristics
A smaller version of the mutated gecko, though in-game they are referred to as Young Geckos.

Variants

 * Young gecko hunter - Young gecko hunters activly search out prey, and can appear anywhere.


 * Fire Gecko - range from young fire geckos and adult fire geckos. their scales have a purple tint to them, and are a bit more hostile to people of the wasteland, retreating from combat a lot less than other species of gecko. their clawing and biting does relatively the same as usual gecko's, but are actually able to breath fire upon hapless travellers who get two close. the fire does more damage than you expect, and its DPS (damage over time) can be problematic in hardcore mode. obvious tactics of shooting them from a distance apply quite fairly here, but be careful of companions using swords or claws and such like, they could die before you recognise the threat and be on your way to a moody reload or a lost friend. Found in both Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 2 (as a random encounter).

Bugs

 * May not always be hostile against the Courier when encountered, this may change if they are approached too closely or if attempting to speak to them.

Appearances
