Hairy deathclaw

Deathclaws are mutated creatures in Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.

Background
An entirely separate species that was termed deathclaw due to the similarity in behavior and, of course, the fearsome claws, the eastern hairy deathclaw is an unique creature that emerged in the territories belonging to the states of Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas.

There is only one known extant brood of these deathclaws, which was controlled by the Beastlords in 2197 by imprisoning Mother, the matriarch of the brood.

Biology
These deathclaws are mammals covered in a thick layer of fur, providing them with excellent protection from the elements, while their thick, leathery skin grants them excellent protection from projectiles and melee weapons. They are easily distinguishable by a crest of five horns protruding from their skull and a single nasal horn. The eponymous claws are also much less pronounced than in reptile deathclaws.

Hairy deathclaws have developed a natural intelligence and sapience, as well as the ability to mimic human speech. They are self-aware and sapient, though precisely when the transition occurs is unknown.

Gameplay attributes
In Fallout Tactics patched to 1.27, deathclaws are deadly. They are highly resistant to regular ammunition. The non-player character's in each bunker often say "I have some AP ammunition for those deathclaws." but they will not trade it. Even an Anti-Vehicle mine does only medium damage.

In Quincy, a player is confronted with two deathclaws and around five Baby deathclaws. However, they can be seen in a random encounter before that mission.

Appearances
Hairy deathclaws appear only in Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.
