Cyberdog (Fallout: New Vegas)

Cyberdogs are creatures in predominately at Big MT and in the Mojave Wasteland.

Specifications
Cyberdogs have had parts of their anatomy that are worked the most often (such as the legs and internal organs) replaced with replaceable mechanical assemblies. In addition, their brains have been removed from their skulls and placed in a protective casing atop their head which allows them to check both their organic and mechanical systems and fictions. The mandible has been replaced with a robotic jaw and metal bottom teeth, enabling them to bite with more force.

Gameplay attributes
Cyberdogs are mid-level creatures that can be a difficult encounter if in a pack or the player in under-equipped. Only one cyberdog (Rex) lives in the Mojave Wasteland; cyberdogs are much more abundant in Big MT.

These cyberdogs often travel in packs of two to three and are capable of using a sonic bark that can cripple the players head. Otherwise, they will use a leaping bite attack which can knock the player down.

Appearances
Cyberdogs appear in Fallout: New Vegas and its add-on Old World Blues.

Bugs

 * If the cyberdogs in Old World Blues are close enough to bite you, attempting to shoot them in V.A.T.S. mode may be completely ineffective, causing all your shots to miss even if the weapon appears to be pointing directly at them. The brush gun is notorious for this issue.
