Independent Fallout Wiki Overview Article The Yao Guai is a creature in Fallout 4.
Background
Yao Guai are the mutated descendants of the black bear. They were named by the descendants of those held in Chinese internment camps before the Great War.[1]
Gameplay
Yao Guai may be hunted for their meat and hides. Yao Guai may be prepared into ribs and roasts. Yao Guai remains may be kept as trophies.
Unlike many other creatures, yao guai do not take increased damage from being shot in the head. These creatures also have the ability to cause the staggering effect on every one of their attacks, even if the player character is quick enough to block them. For this reason, melee fighting against yao guai might be difficult, especially with slow weapons or if fighting against a group. Attacks must be properly timed, otherwise, the player character might get stuck in the stagger effect, giving yao guai enough time to strike once again.
