Floater (Fallout 2)

Floaters are terrifying mutant abominations developed by the Master for his armies.

Characteristics
Despite its appearance, the floater is fast, mean, and aggressive. It's very easy to become surrounded by these abominations and fall prey to their attacks. Keeping distance and terminating with extreme prejudice is the recommended course of action.

Appearances
Floaters appear in Fallout and Fallout 2. The Art of Fallout 3 includes concept art for a Lamprey floater, Manowar tendril floater, and Needle tooth floater. Creatures named floater budding and floater evolved also appear in Fallout: New Vegas, though they use the centaur model, a legacy of development.
