Bloatfly (Fallout 76)

	For an overview of bloatflies in the Fallout series of games, see bloatfly.

 

Bloatflies are creatures found in Appalachia in 2102.

BackgroundEdit

The radioactive fallout resulting from the Great War mutated the tiny blowfly into the larger bloatfly menace that is potentially lethal at a substantial range. They can be found in groups of two to four throughout Appalachia.

CharacteristicsEdit

BiologyEdit

The standard bloatfly is covered in a green and brown carapace. An individual fly's supply of larvae is seemingly inexhaustible, and unless evaded or eliminated, the creature will pursue a target relentlessly. Despite the increased size, they have no difficulty staying airborne.

Gameplay attributesEdit

The bloatfly is a giant mutated blowfly. Bloatflies attack at long range by peppering their prey with spine-bedecked larva launched from its abdomen. They tend to attack in groups, and their ability to attack from a distance can make them significantly dangerous at low levels.
