Wanamingos are creatures that appear in Fallout 2.
Description
Marge LeBarge describes a wanamingo as being "tall as two men, stronger than a bull brahmin, and with flappin' suckers instead of arms."[1] They are fast and resistant to laser weaponry, with a "hive-mind mentality."[Pub 1] They're usually seen underground and in groups.[Pub 1] In Redding's Great wanamingo mine, the queen can be found.
Gameplay
Wanamingos are fierce foes that quickly swarm their target in groups. They can hurl a flurry of melee attacks which induce radiation poisoning. Although they are resilient to most forms of damage, they have a natural weakness to fire and will flee should one of their legs become crippled.

Can't be hurt with guns, neither. S'posedly, injuns called 'em up for revenge on the white-man for what the war did. I don't put much stock in that, though."
