Centaur (Fallout 3)

Centaurs are mutant creatures found in the Capital Wasteland

Biology
Centaurs are, much like their namesake counterparts from the west, the result of the Forced Evolutionary Virus being used on a combination of Humans and a myriad of animals. The centaurs of the East Coast stand almost as tall as an adult human. Their torsos lack arms, and their mouths are filled with three writhing tentacles. Some of its bones are also poking out from its body. Instead of legs, a centaur has multiple human arms that it uses to drag itself along the ground, which confines it to a slow, shuffling form of ambulation.

Gameplay attributes
Centaurs are the constant companions of super mutants and are used as their watchdogs. As a result, they can easily be an indicator of more serious threats lurking nearby. As individuals, centaurs only pose a minor threat. They are durable as opponents and can sustain a rather large amount of damage before succumbing to their wounds. This is offset by their weak melee attacks in the form of their lashing tongues. They telegraph their close combat attacks quite decisively. Centaurs are also capable of ranged attacks which consist of radioactive spit. The spit does not cause significant damage aside from 5 rads/sec for 15 seconds. They are entirely silent creatures, lacking the ability to produce sounds of any kind, allowing them to sneak up on unwary targets.
