Can someone post a photo of a mother deathclaw and an avarage deathclaw ?

Deathclaw Mother being the new "behemoth"
Just a thought about the Deathclaw Mother, does anyone think that these creatures will replace the Behemoths of Fallout 3? I mean, I think I read somewhere on the Beth forums that Behemoths weren't going to be featured in New Vegas so I presume something large has to replace it as a sort of achievement/trophy Draco122 09:10, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't be surprised, personally. Not really because of the missing Behemoths, but more because of the fact that fighting Mama Deathclaw was one of the most terrifying things I've ever done in the Wastes, and between her and a Behemoth, I'd... well, I'd run screaming to the Behemoth and hug his big fat leg before he squished me with his fire hydrant. Maybe it's because I was level 12, or my guns were crap, or my somewhat low health... But either way the fight in itself seemed achievement worthy. "The Mother Deathclaw has gone berserk over the death of her baby!" That had to be the most horrifying pop-up message ever. TheGruslen 08:44, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Matriarch vs Mother
Is there a difference? The Deathclaw Matriarch in Quarry Junction looks different from the one in the picture on this article. She is also referred to as "Deathclaw Matriarch" in VATS. I haven't encountered other Deathclaw Mothers to compare her to. Can someone clarify this for me?

Go go, Deathclawzilla!
"The Deathclaw mothers appearance is strikingly similar to the creature in the 1998 American film "Godzilla"" Seriously? I think it looks like a BLACK DEATHCLAW.

 * you mean like an african american deathclaw??

Inconsistensies
The article mentiones it being equal in statistics to the Alpha, but the stats of the latter show and HP of 500 whereas it is 750 here. Which is at fault?

Decapitation
When attempting to decapitate a deathclaw matron in Quarry Junction, I found that her head cannot be removed. It will have that dismembering sound and the blood flying everywhere, but the only thing that happens is that there's a scar around the neck, and a movable blood texture will fall off her neck instead. 122.104.203.150 02:42, February 10, 2011 (UTC)
