Cannibal

Cannibal is a perk in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas that allows the Lone Wanderer and the Courier to engage in cannibalism.

Effects
In Fallout: New Vegas, the perk functions the same as it did in Fallout 3, except that it can be acquired much earlier (at level 4 instead of level 12). After consuming 25 corpses, the Courier will acquire the Dine and Dash challenge perk, allowing them to harvest human remains, rather than eat the corpse directly.

The Lone Wanderer and Courier can only eat the corpses of humans and non-feral ghouls. In Old World Blues, the Courier can also eat the corpses trapped inside the Y-17 trauma override harnesses.

Each corpse restores 25 HP, adds 3 rads, and reduces Karma by one point. Each corpse can only be fed from once.

If the Lone Wanderer or Courier are caught devouring a corpse, friendly non-player characters (excluding companions) will turn hostile.
