Seymour (Fallout 2)

Seymour is a sentient spore plant in Broken Hills in Fallout 2.

Background
Developed from a highly modified spore plant spore by the Professor of Broken Hills, Seymour played dumb, concealing his nature to avoid getting vivisected by the insane scientist. He was eventually transplanted to a small garden near the entrance to the Broken Hills mine, where he enjoys the area, but longs for more... Intelligent company, as the cabbage and maize just aren't all that conversational.

Quests

 * Defeat the professor's radscorpion in three challenges: Once transplanted with a shovel (Bill sells one), Seymour will teach the player the move necessary to defeat the Professor's radscorpion at chess.

Effects of player actions

 * Seymour will start arguing with Typhon at the old ghouls' home he ends up at, leading to a rather hilarious exchange. Seymour loves it, for it gets his intellectual sap flowing.

Behind the scenes

 * Seymour is obviously a reference to Audrey II, the man-eating plant of the film and later musical Little Shop of Horrors. The protagonist of the film is named Seymour.

Appearances
Seymour appears only in Fallout 2
