Flies are an order of winged insects that survived the Great War.

Background[]

Common flies weathered the apocalypse and came out seemingly unmutated. Their ecological niche remains unaltered as well: people view flies as little more than pests or vectors for disease, but they serve a vital role in the consumption of detritus. Much to the irritation of ghouls, this means that flies feed on the nutrients of their rotting bodies.[2][3]

Appearances[]

Flies appear Fallout 2 and are mentioned in Fallout 3[4] and Fallout: New Vegas.[5]
