Brahmin (Fallout 4)

Brahmin are cattle found in Fallout 4. They are a common sight among the post-War wastes of the Commonwealth and Nuka-World.

Background
Brahmin are two-headed cattle that mutated after the Great War. However, their role in society has changed very little as they still provide meat, milk, hide and manual labor. This makes them an integral part of any settlement as well as the caravans that connect them.

Biology
Brahmin have the appearance of a pre-War cow but are distinguished by their abnormally large udders and two grotesque heads. They also have eight stomachs, but otherwise do not differ significantly from their pre-War ancestors. Brahmin bulls, although not seen in any game to date, are said to have four testicles.

It is likely that brahmin developed from certain pre-War bovine species. Radiation from nuclear fallout has caused multiple genetic mutations, such as the growth of several disfigured horns, disfiguration of the skin, udders and most notably the growth of a second head.

Brahmin and radstags are the only creatures in the Commonwealth to develop a second head due to their exposure to vast amounts of radiation. Both species are mammals and quadrupeds of large size.

Gameplay attributes
Brahmin, being important in the development of settlements, have a more active role in Fallout 4 than in previous games. A brahmin feed trough can be built to attract brahmin to the area. Brahmin will stay close to the feed trough. Brahmin caravans are used by settlers (assigned by the player character) to provide supply lines between various settlements. They drop fertilizer that can be used for growing crops and is an ingredient for Jet, fireworks and explosives.

Brahmin
Brahmin are often found in company with a trader transporting goods and are very commonly seen in settlements.
