Reptilian deathclaw

A reptilian subspecies of deathclaws living in Southwest, very mutated from the classic version for more look like a reptile.

Unlike the other subspecies, the Reptilian deathclaw prefer to live alone in the highly radioactive zones. When an intruder enters into its domain, the Reptilian deathclaw become very aggresive. It attempts to intimidate the foe to chase them off their hunting ground, with failure generally resulting in a fight to the death and the intruder becoming a tasty snack.

Once per year, during the height of the summer solstice, the male undertakes a pilgrimage to find a female mate to produce little wasteland terrors. The male will travel up to three hundred miles in search of a female court and seduce. After a three day animalistic ritual by the male, the female decides whether the male is suitable to produce offspring with. If not, the male is chased off, and a new male suitor enters stage right. Should the pair mate, the male returns to his domains afterwards, and the female lays her fertilized eggs (usually 2 to 4 eggs) in radioactive pools of water or toxic waste. In a short twelve weeks, the egg hatch and new wasteland terrors enter into the radioactive wasteland.

The young are reared by their mother for six months and are taught how to fend for themselves. After this times, mating season begin anew and the young are chased off into the wasteland, starting an age of terror and rampage of their own, to make room for the new batch.
