mole rats, and giant pit vipers. For reasons

Cazadores
The creatures known as cazadores were created
CAZADORES
by Doctor Borous, one of the mad think tanks
running the research centre at Big Empty,
otherwise known as Big MT. They were created
from tarantula hawk wasps, though so many
other types of DNA have been spliced into them
that they are essentially a whole new type of
being.
An adult cazador’s body is almost as large
as an average adult male human, and their two
sets of amber-shaded wings make them seem even
larger and more imposing. An adult cazador
keeps growing, with some giant cazadores
becoming nearly twice as large as other
adults.
Although a cazador is by no means the
largest of wasteland predators, it is truly
among the most dangerous. A cazador is quick
and moves erratically, making it hard to hit.
Furthermore, it possesses an exceptionally
potent venom in its string. A cazador’s sting
is excruciatingly painful and quickly lethal.
One cazador would be dangerous enough alone,
but they’re seldom encountered in such optimal
conditions. While the tarantula hawk wasps
from which they were created are solitary
by nature, cazadores
instead nest in swarms
of four or more.
They’re not just
bad news on their
own merits, either.
If a wastelander is
lucky enough to evade
or survive a cazador
attack they should be
wary of the possibility
that a night stalker
pack may also be in the
area, as the two types
of creature are known
to compete for prey.

A cyberhound is a dog that has been heavily
CYBERHOUNDS
augmented with mechanical parts to the point
that it is more robot than living creature.
However, it retains its brain which is
suspended inside a protective dome filled with
gel, just like a robobrain. The cyberhound
behaves in all respects like a normal dog, but
is more intelligent than your average animal.
They make excellent pets and guardians.
Police and military models are able to attack
with a sonic energy bark that can briefly
incapacitate a target, making for an easier
arrest or kill.
Creating a cyberhound is difficult, as is
maintaining one. They are primarily produced
by large organisations with access to advanced
technology and lots of resources, such as the
pre-war US Government, the Enclave, and the
research team at Big MT.

Deathclaws
The oversized mutant reptiles known by the
DEATHCLAWS
people of the wastes as deathclaws were
created before the Great War by the United
States government, who intended to use them
as a replacement for foot soldiers in their
war with the Chinese. Deathclaws were created
through genetic engineering, adding DNA from
multiple other species to the Jackson’s
Chameleon. The modern deathclaw owes as much
to the Master, who further refined their
genetic code and mutated them using the Forced
Evolutionary Virus. Despite their base stock,
most deathclaws are not capable of colour-
changing camouflage.
Deathclaws gather in packs of between eight
to twenty, led by an alpha male. Since these
creatures can range large distances on the
hunt, they are often encountered on their own
the wild, however a meeting with one almost
always means there are other deathclaws
roaming the region. However, a few deathclaws
lead solitary existences either due to the
loss of their pack or because they have
been driven out following a conflict for the
position of alpha.

large packs. It is thought that they wander
until they find each other, and instinctually
recognise kin. They like to lair in cool,
dark places, resulting in a false belief
that they fear light. However, they will hunt
under the sun if necessary. Indeed they can
be found practically anywhere, in almost any
environmental conditions.
Ferals sustain themselves on the meat
of other creatures and attack most things
on sight. They do not attack eachother.
Nor do they attack non-feral ghouls unless
provoked, suggesting that they still see
their more intelligent cousins as kin.
Although wastelanders have witnessed packs of
feral ghouls fighting super mutants and even
deathclaws, there are no confirmed stories
of the ferals provoking those fights, which
in turn indicates they may retain memories of
previous encounters with such dangerous foes.
They have been known to flee from overwhelming
firepower, which is thought to mean they also
possess an instinct for self-preservation,
despite their normally savage assaults.

The most well known of the mutants created
FEV MUTANTS
with the Forced Evolutionary Virus are
deathclaws and super mutants, but a number of
other monstrosities only exist because of FEV
tampering. Many other FEV mutants were created
as part of the same programmes that created
Super Mutants, and as such even though the FEV
Mutants aren’t strictly related they are often
associated with the Super Mutants, having
developed mutually symbiotic relationships. In
many places, the horrific Centaurs and strange
Floaters serve as hunting beasts for Super
Mutant masters. In the Commonwealth, Mutant
Hounds fill the same role for those Super
Mutants created by the Institute.

Ghost People
The Ghost People are a mysterious race of
GHOST PEOPLE
mutants native to the Sierra Madre, where
they evolved in the toxic smog known as the
Cloud. In the past they have shown no interest
in leaving the ruins of the casino resort,
but extreme circumstances might force them to
migrate to the Mojave or beyond. They seem to
split their time between shambling apparently
aimlessly and tirelessly around their lairs,
and giving hunt to the holographic “ghosts”
of the casino resort. They respond similarly
to interlopers, reacting with capable of
surprising speed and agility that belies their
usual lethargic behaviour.
The Ghost People only ever appear inside
their hazmat suits, and indeed from every
appearance they have no way of removing the
bulky outfits thanks to the long-corroded,
unusable locks.
They wield primitive weapons crafted from
whatever they find, such as spears made from
broom handles and knives, or jagged fist
weapons constructed from bear traps. Those
that carry spears typically carry more than
one, throwing the colonelity then closing
with the last for melee. They seem aware of
what guns are, trying to avoid the aim of
their enemies. However, they appear to prefer
their own weapons in their hunts, perhaps for
ritualistic reasons. Ghost people also seem
capable of utilising rudimentary explosives,
and set trip wires and bear traps throughout
their lairs. All these characteristics point
to the fact that in spite of their lack of
clear goals or motivations, Ghost People
possess a far greater level of intelligence
and malevolent cunning than most other types
of mutant that might be encountered in the
wastes, such as feral ghouls or tunnelers.

but are a mystery, sharing traits with
snapping turtles, frogs, and fish. Then there
is the rumoured Catfish mirelurk...
Despite a lack of common ancestry, the
mirelurk species have formed a mutually
beneficial symbiosis. This is demonstrated
by the fact that mirelurks of each type nest
together, are nonhostile toward each other,
and act with one purpose such as hunting prey
together or coming to each other’s defense.
The origins of mirelurks and their
unusual symbiotic relationship are
unknown. Before the Great War
oceanographers around the world,
such as the researchers of the Nahant
Oceanological Society in Boston, were seeing
record levels of toxicity in the water and a
corresponding rise of growth and mutation in
local crustacean species. This indicates
the evolution of mirelurks was either
not artificial, or not wholly so.
However, human interference may
be a possible cause of their
symbiosis, additional growth
acceleration, and could even
explain the peculiarities of some
mirelurk species, particularly the mirelurk
King which appears to have traits of not
just turtles but also amphibious and piscine
species. There is certainly precedent for this

Night Stalkers
Night stalkers are one of the strange
experiments of mad Doctor Borous of the Big
MT. They are a genetic abomination of coyote
and rattlesnake DNA, with the former’s body
and the latter’s head and tail.
Night stalkers are nocturnal pack hunters.
STALKERS
Though they often give away their presence by
rattling and hissing in the presence of prey,
they are usually too close by that point for
any hope of escape.
Night stalker venom is very potent, but
conversely their blood can be used as an
NIGHT
ingredient to produce antivenom.
The most dangerous variety of Night stalker
was created in a later experiment at the X-13
Research Facility. as part of Project Blue
Blood these night stalkers were injected with
a cloaking serum that irrevocably altered the
already adaptable DNA of the species, giving
them biological optic camouflage abilities.
Night stalkers are known to hunt in the same
environments as cazadores, so wastelanders
that encounter one group should be
exceptionally wary that the others might also
be active in the area.

Raiders
Mutated beasts, feral ghouls, merciless super
mutants and the occasional rogue robot all
plague the settlements and travellers of the
post-apocalyptic world. Nevertheless it is all
too often members of their own kind who prove
to be the scourge of humanity.
Raider groups come in many sizes and can
RAIDERS vary wildly in philosophy. The one thing

that is true about all such gangs is their
willingness to prey upon others to survive.
Some raider groups are filled with natural
sociopaths, in their element. Others are
populated by unpredictable psycopaths. Some
raiders turned to their unwholesome lifestyle
out of desperation when their own attempts to
live decently were foiled time and again.
Most raider groups have some form of
hierarchy, though some are far more organised
than others. Typically a gang has a boss and a
handful of lieutenants. Below the regular gang
leaders are the scrubs, new recruits that have
yet to sufficiently prove their worth.

active even now. Robot encounters can be
hazardous, as they are often programmed to
overcome intruders in the facilities where

Synths
The creations of the mysterious Institute,
Gen-1 and Gen-2 synths are essentially
advanced robots with a humanoid form. They
are used as the Institute’s footsoldiers and
enforcers.
Gen-3 Synths
The latest generation of synths takes the
concept far further. Gen-3s are biological
SYNTHS in nature, effectively artificially created

humans under the Institute’s control. Many
Gen-3 synths have no idea they even are
synths, and go about their lives in blissful
ignorance until triggered. The people of the
Commonwealth live in fear of their loved ones
being kidnapped and replaced with an identical
clone.
With the exception of the Courser (see
below), no statblocks are provided for
Gen-3 synths. As they are identical to
humans for all intents and purposes,
it is possible to use other statblocks
representing groups such as raiders,
soldiers, Brotherhood of Steel, or
Enclave. Active synths often infilitrate
such organisations to spy for the
Inititute. Inactive synths, or those
who have had their minds wiped by the
Railroad, join such organisations while
believing their lives are their own.
Coursers
Coursers are Gen-3 synths who receive
special training and equipment, making
each one a highly effective, lethal special
agent. Coursers take on the tasks Gen-1
and Gen-2 hit squads are incapable of
achieving on their own, such as high profile
assassinations. They can also be found in
charge of large groups of lesser synths.

Tunnelers
Tunnelers are reptilian humanoids. As far
TUNNELERS
as the residents of the Mojave and the
New California Republic know, the species
originates from within the Divide. There is
no evidence to suggest they were created
before the Great War as deathclaws were, so
the likelihood is that they either mutated or
were created after the nukes, conceivably as
part of an FEV experiment. Nothing else is
known about their provenance, but what matters
more than their past is their future—they are
rapidly spreading out of the Divide and are
considered a substantial threat by those who
are aware of their existence. Tunnelers burrow
fast, as the name implies, and they reproduce
quickly. With few natural predators to prevent
their underground expansion, Tunnelers could
one day spread not just throughout the
Mojave but conceivably the entire continent.
Furthermore, Tunnelers hunt in large packs
that are quite capable of overwhelming even
powerful enemies such as deathclaws. Indeed
the largest among them, known as Tunneler
Queens, are every bit a deathclaw’s match.
