“With the Cannibal perk, when you're in Sneak mode, you gain the option to eat a corpse to regain Health. But every time you feed, you lose Karma, and if the act is witnessed, it is considered a crime against nature.”— In-game description
Cannibal is a perk in Fallout 3.
Effects[]
The perk has one rank and requires the Lone Wanderer to be level 12 or above. It allows them to feed on the corpses of both humans and non-feral ghouls.
Each corpse feasted on restores 25 HP, adds three rads and reduces Karma by one point. If the act is witnessed by friendly non-player characters, they will turn hostile, as cannibalism is considered a crime against nature. However, companions do not turn hostile.
Notes[]
- Having the perk expands dialogue options with Robert and Vance during the quest Blood Ties,[1][2] and when speaking with Jack Smith in Andale.[3]
- The animation time for the process of devouring a corpse is roughly twice as long as it takes to drink water from a sink.
- When selecting "Devour," the camera will automatically go to third person and will zoom out. The Lone Wanderer cannot move, look at their Pip-Boy or draw a weapon. However, it is possible to change weapons with the quick-select menu.
- A common misconception in the Fallout community is that this perk enables an option to eat baby Marie in The Pitt. This stems from a viral screenshot of the mod "Acquired Immunity" by Nexus user FinalFro. While many players distinctively remember the option on a unmodded game, no such option exists, and all online references to eating baby Marie follow the mod's creation.

Vance: "Indeed. Perhaps my sense of caring for Ian has overwhelmed my sense of duty to the Family and all others like us."
