I had a crazy idea recently. What if you could have a Deathclaw as a companion, but in order to acquire him you must feed him Dogmeat (the dog) and incur bad karma for the act. The deathclaw would do all the stuff Dogmeat could do, except be much cooler doing it lol.

I have no skill as a modder so I thought I would just throw this wacky idea out there to see what becomes of it. I do not want or need any credit for this idea.

A few months ago, FoxtrotZulu created a guide to creating companions. I successfully made a human follower via this guide, but when i tried to make a deathclaw companion, on of the packages you create couldn't find it. I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but its probably since the Deathclaw was a creature and the Human was an NPC.
