Cazador

es are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Characteristics
A mutant insect species, Cazadores appear to have their origin in Tarantula Hawk Wasps. They appear in two forms: smaller, less powerful Young Cazadores and stronger adults, known simply as Cazadores. They are generally found in mountainous regions of the Mojave wasteland.Their stinger easily cripples limbs,but not chest or head

The danger in encountering them is that they attack in large numbers and use a toxin that is deadly. The only way to cure poison is to use Antivenom (though a high endurance may allow the player to resist the poison altogether). Oddly enough their sting even penetrates all kinds of power armor and they always come in flocks so they might be even dangerous at high levels with good equip. Unlike Bloatflies they seem to have some natural armor as they can withstand several headshots from close distance. Additionally, they will close the distance between themselves and their prey with alarming speed. Cazador eggs and Cazador poison glands are crafting items.

Statistics
Cazador poison: -5 HP/second, -25 AP, lasts 30 seconds. Note that the action point reduction is once per application, and affects your maximum action points, rather than -25/second affecting your current AP total.

The Cazador is a deadly enemy as I found it is difficult to fend of a pack or these creatures. As i found the weapon which has been most effective so far is the Ranger Sequoia whilst using hollow point ammunition. If you have a high enough guns skill it will take 1 or 2 shots to kill a Cazador and the right strength skill. Its a weapon which i carry round with me to deal with these and has been very useful

Bugs

 * It is impossible to target the head of a Cazador in VATS unless it is striking forward with its stinger, the Courier is right on top of the enemy or the Cazador is moving on a slope towards the player. Without meeting these conditions the head can never be cycled to as an option in Vats (only the antennae).
 * It is possible they will become stuck in the air close to the ground. They will still move and can clearly be seen and be targeted in VATS, but your shots will always miss.
 * At Callville Bay if a Cazador goes in the water it will be unable to get out.
 * Cazadors will occasionally noclip their way to you, going straight through any obstacles in their path.

Appearances
es appear in Fallout: New Vegas.
