Ghoul crazies are creatures in Fallout 2.

Background[]

These ghouls have lost their minds – however the cause – and now shamble the wastes until they are killed.

Characteristics[]

Biology[]

The following section is transcluded from Feral ghoul. To modify, please edit the source page.

The degeneration into a feral state (referred to as ferocious post-necrotic dystrophy) is not fully understood. It is known that it is a result of a degeneration of the brain (which is not affected by the regenerative mutation of the spinal cord) and emerges following the atrophy of higher brain functions, accompanied by an increased level of aggression and appetite. When the loss of capacity for thought is complete, a ghoul is considered feral.[1][2] The factors that may cause a ghoul to enter this state are unclear, but anti-social or isolated ghouls are more susceptible to it.[3] Exposure to intense radiation may also be a factor – feral ghouls have no body heat and emit lethal levels of radiation, indicating that feral ghouls are for all intents and purposes dead, their functions sustained only by their high irradiation. This allows them to survive for centuries, relying only on the energy provided by radiation – at the expense of a horrifying, emaciated appearance. Understandably, the process is irreversible.[4][5]

Ghoul crazies have degenerated to the point of hardly posing a threat by themselves, yet sport a high endurance, and are typically found in packs.

Glow crazies[]

Naglowaa se

Almost identical to their standard ghoul crazies counterpart, the glow crazies are easily distinguished by the glow coming off of their bodies from the unusually high amounts of radiation emanating internally.
