Creature

Ticks are creatures found in Appalachia.

Gameplay

Following the Great War, these ticks mutated from the Ixodes scapularis variant.^[1] Scout Leader Jaggy shares advice about ticks, in that if one spends time in the forest, at the end of the day, they should thoroughly check for ticks.^[2]

Ticks are fast-moving and emit a unique clattering sound when moving. After attacking, their blood sacs will fill with blood, which they can spray back at their opponent to cause radiation damage for several seconds. If killed, their sacs will explode, rendering them unable to be looted for tick blood and tick blood sacs. Diseased ticks also have a chance to give the parasites disease.

Notes

In the Mojave Wasteland, robotic spokesman Festus mentions the creature when he argues that one would have to "get full as a tick" on Sunset Sarsaparilla in order for the soda to cause the same serious health issues as reported by a recent study.^[3]
Porter Gage will mention that the former traders of Nuka-World were "dug in like ticks".^[4]

Appearances

Ticks appear in Fallout 76 and are mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas and the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.

Behind the scenes

The mutated tick is based on the real-world Ixodes scapularis deer tick.^[1]
