Here are a few ideas that I think would suit the overall setting of the Mojave Desert. I've tried to base them on creatures that currently exist within this setting, adding other elements to them in order to make them seem more intimidating and appropriate based on the current conditions of the world (nuclear mutation and such).

- Reanimated feral ghouls that arise from the desert terrain at night (sort of like zombies in a sense). These would be larger and bolder than that of the feral ghouls in FO3.

- Some sort of mutated cactus monster that is reminiscent in both behavior and form to that of a lion (mouth is boldly pronounced, roaring and such). This type of monster should pose as an inanimate cactus, becoming active unsuspectingly on occasions when approached (this will be random). This would also add some thrills if players in hardcoe mode were able to extract water from cactuses. They should also emerge howling in a high-pitched banter.

- Rabid, two-headed coyotes that roam in packs and attack unsuspectingly with melee-based attacks. Also carrying diseases that are passed onto the player after consistent melee attacks.

- Large ogres composed entirely of moist sand that rise from the ground unexpectedly and gradually grow bigger in size (which also regenerates their HP and makes their melee-based attacks stronger) until they're killed. Require vast amounts of melee damage or rapid amounts of firearm damage (automatic gunfire, a volley of shotgun rounds, concentrated explosives, etc.) to be killed quickly before becoming too powerful. If they form near weapons, they will take possession of them and use them against the player.

- Large swarms of small black spiders that spawn underneath corpses left anywhere in the desert, swarming together in order to take the form of the corpse and re-animate it, attacking the player with melee attacks and progressively clinging to the player if they make melee contact. Easy to take down with both ranged and melee damage, yet safer to attack with ranged from a distance.

- Something similar to the 'http://www.imperial-library.info/bestiaries/oblivion_large_clannfear-1.jpg' from Oblivion, only with the head of a desert horned lizard and larger, with large claws and multiple tails.

- A couple of gigantic monsters that spawn in specific zones and follow routes, posing a huge threat to the player. This could include a giant monitor lizard that roams the mountain ranges and blends in with them. Or a sand kraken that suddenly spawns along terrains that are predominately sand-based, flailing it's tentacles and attempting to lash out at the player, knocking them several yards away from the route it spawns in. Possibly even a large tarantula that lurks the rooftops of certain damp caves.

I actually liked the idea of living cactus, there were already spore plants in the F2 and there could be a mutated living plant or just FEV experiment

Desert Deathclaws

Starved Cannibals (instead of Ghouls)

A massive rattlesnake

huge scorpions.

Wasn't he a ghoul?

I would like to see him in FO NV...

What about mutated MGM lions? :gun: Cuz it's in Vegas and...

Mutated crocodiles near water sources.

Actually I would very much like to see many of the creatures from Fallout 1 and 2, but re-done with Fallout3-level graphics and animations. That would really give everyone (both past Fallout fans and current Fallout3 fans) a level playing field with all our favorite monsters.

I can only imagine how wicked it will be to have all of the monsters from the Fallout world available as modding resources! Mmmmmmmmmmmm :liplick:

By the looks of things from the Trailer The game is going to take place somewhere in the middle east or Russia, I'm saying middle east because of the Flag that was right next to the guy in the gas mask.

At the end of the trailer the guy in the gas mask next to the flag seems like Spetsznaz. If the game does take place in America then maybe we will have a chance at seeing the Enclave be the good guys and perhaps The B.O.S. teaming up with them.

:huh:
It takes place in New Vegas
