If you want to know their real names (or, rather, from which real animals they descend), here's a quick list:

Mirelurk - Crab

Yao Guai - Bear

Mole Rat - Rat

Radroach - Roach

Radscorpion - Scorpion

Brahmin - Cow

Giant ant - Ant

Bloatfly - Fly

Deathclaw - Chameleon

Don't forget Mirelurk kings - Snapper turtles

Dr. Li - female dog

haha so true!

Mirelurks are horseshoe crabs to be specific, and although I have never heard of this animal living in this area, the mole rats seem more like giant versions of the Naked Mole Rat which is a hairless, burrowing rat.

Also, has anyone ever found it odd that scorpions are near DC to begin with? then again maybe over 200 years with the changed environment they may have migrated.

:rofl:

They probably mutated from politicians. Not a very big change, imho.

If Dr. Li evolved from a female dog, what did Macready evolve from? Someone's pet ferret, maybe?

before the pre war there was alot of pet stores, so all the scorpians you see? you can thank the pet stores for that.



wait wait wait, a deathclaw used to be a chameleon? i thought it was more of a komodo lizard.

*Insert Rimshot*

@Tman- In Herbet Dashwoods terminal, it indicates it's a descendant of a particular scorpion species found in DC pet stores prior to the war.

^This on deathclaws

scorpions were popular pets at the time, and were abundant in pet stores which explains why they are everywhere in D.C.

Mole rats- From a terminal in the Citadel, were a government experiment to be bred and shipped over to china to undermine their cities. They were gentically made to burrow into almost anything.

Bloatflies- Mutated Horse flies

MIrelurks- Blue horseshoe crabs

Mirelurk kings- Snapper turtles

Giant ants- Mutated from your average garden variety ant.

Centaurs- Mutated FEV subjects originally created by mixing humans and other animals in the FEV at once.

Yao Guai- Mutated brown bear (or was it black bears?)

Black Bears. If they had mutated from Grizzlys... Yikes!
