Crashed whale

Stranded whale is special encounter in Fallout 2.

Clearly a theme adopted from Douglas Adams' novel "The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy" where Arthur Dent fires two rockets from a spaceship, and one of them becomes a whale which uses that little times he has in this universe to think about his existence, before he hits the ground. The picture given in this special encounter displays the drastic effects gravity can have on a 50t whale whose free-fall comes to a sudden end upon touchdown pretty graphically.
