Devil Dog

The Devil Dog is a special dog found around Hangdog Village in 2253.

Background
Devil Dog is a mutant dog who is worshipped by the Blackfoots. The Hangdogs want you to tame him, or kill him. However, they would rather see him killed. If you have a high Outdoorsman skill and tasty food, you can tame him. He is also sick with a rabies-like disease, which makes him aggressive and highly hostile. If you cure him before you tame him, he will wander away from Blackfoot territory. He may also be encountered later in the game.

Interactions with the player character
If you tame him first before curing him, he gets sicker and sicker until he dies. A good dog owner will cure him first before that happens. The Hangdogs want to use him for breeding to have his bloodline in the Hangdogs' dogs. He has an evil spirit which brings bad luck to the tribe, which is why they call him the "Devil Dog" and prefer him killed.

Appearances
Devil Dog was to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.
