Dying mutant

The Dying super mutant is a scout for the Master's Army around 2161.

Background
The mutant is one of the first people who was dipped in the FEV vats in the Military Base. He can be found in the Deathclaw's Lair near the Hub, hurt badly after being assaulted by a deathclaw, probably when scouting for humans in the cave. When you find the mutant, he will be mumbling crazily to himself, and when you approach him, he will think you are the Master. He holds the Mutant Transmissions holodisk, which reveals that it is actually the Super Mutants that are behind the attacks on missing caravans, not the infamous deathclaw.

Interactions with the player character
The player can loot the Mutant Transmissions holodisk from the mutant, and bring it to Butch Harris in the Hub to gain experience, completing the quest.

Rather than speaking to the mutant first, it is possible to kill him for 300 exp points as well as loot both the radio and the holodisk.

Appearances
The dying mutant appears only in Fallout.
