Deathclaw
Old bones in the Mojave
Deathclaws are creatures in the Fallout TV series
Background [ ] Originally intended as genetically-engineered creatures developed by the United States military to replace humans during close-combat search-and-destroy missions, the specimens escaped containment in the aftermath of the Great War , and over the next few decades, the "deathclaw" species has colonized much of the former United States , becoming apex predators in many of the new, post-War ecosystems.
Characteristics [ ] Deathclaws are a large, carnivorous, bipedal reptile species with large horns and deadly claws.
Fallout TV series[ ] An old deathclaw skull can be seen as Hank MacLean is walking through the Mojave Wasteland towards New Vegas . Another one appears next to a crashed vertibird in the episode credits.
Behind the scenes [ ] In an interview with The Wrap , series co-showrunner Graham Wagner stated that the developers originally wanted to include deathclaws in Season 1 but decided that it would not be appropriate to add so many iconic elements of the franchise at the start and not "be able to do it properly." He did confirm that deathclaws would be appearing in the TV series' upcoming season 2 .
“ We wanted to get Deathclaws, but we didn’t want to just throw it away. It’s such a monumental piece (...) We want to save some something for Season 2 to be able to do it properly, not just added on to the massive world building we had to do already in Season 1 . So Season 2, we’re very excited to finally tackle one of the most iconic elements of the games. ” — Graham Wagner West CoastFallout Fallout 2 Fallout: New Vegas Fallout (TV series) Alien · Bighorner (Bighorner bull , Bighorner calf ) · Bird · Bloatfly (Legendary bloatfly · Brahmin · Cazador (Young cazador , Legendary cazador ) · Centaur (Evolved centaur ) · Chicken · Coyote (Coyote alpha male , Coyote den mother , Coyote pup ) · Deathclaw (Baby deathclaw , Young deathclaw , Blind deathclaw , Deathclaw alpha , Mother deathclaw , Intelligent deathclaw , Legendary deathclaw ) · Deer · Dog (Cyberdog , Legion Mongrel , Vicious dog ) · Fire ant (Fire ant worker , Fire ant soldier , Ant queen ) · Floater · Fly · Gecko (Hunter gecko , Fire gecko , Golden gecko , Little gecko ) · Ghost people (Ghost harvester , Ghost seeker , Ghost trapper ) · Ghoul (Feral ghoul roamer , Feral ghoul reaver , Glowing one , Feral trooper ghoul ) · Giant ant (Giant worker ant , Giant soldier ant , Giant ant queen ) · Giant catfish · Giant rat (Mole rat , Pig rat ) · Gulper · Hog · Human · Lobotomite ) · Lakelurk · Leech · Mantis (Giant mantis , Giant mantis nymph , Giant mantis female ) · Marked man · Night stalker (Young night stalker , Den mother , Legendary night stalker ) · Radroach · Radscorpion (Bark scorpion , Bark scorpion hunter , Small radscorpion , Giant radscorpion , Radscorpion queen ) · Raven · Slags · Spore carrier (Spore carrier savage , Spore carrier brute , Spore carrier runt ) · Spore plant · Super mutant (Mariposa) (Super mutant master , Nightkin ) · Wanamingo · Tunneler Tunneler queen · Wolf · Yao guai East CoastFallout 3 Fallout 4 Fallout 76 Fallout Tactics 2 Abomination · Alien · Alien squid · Alien worm · Angler · Barnacle · Beaver · Bee swarm · Bird · Bloatfly · Bloodbug · Bloodworm · Blue Devil · Brahmin · Brahmiluff · House cat · Cave cricket · Centaur · Chicken · Crow · Deathclaw · Dog (Mongrel ) · Dolphish · Fire ant · Firefly · Flatwoods monster · Fly · Fog crawler · Fox · Frog · Gatorclaw · Gazelle · Ghoul (Feral ghoul , Feral ghoul reaver Feral ghoul roamer , Glowing one , Swamp ghoul · Appalachian Floater · Ghoulrilla · Giant ant (Giant ant queen ) · Giant catfish · Gorilla · Grafton monster · Gulper · Hermit crab · Honey beast · Human · Jersey Devil (Lesser Devil ) · Mega sloth · Mirelurk (Mirelurk hunter , Mirelurk king , Nukalurk , Swamplurk Swamplurk queen · Mole rat · Mole miner · Mothman · Mutant crocodile · Mutant hound · Mutant wanamingo · Ogua · Opossum · Overgrown (Overgrown thorn , Overgrown elder , Overgrown pollinator ) · Rad chicken · Radgull · Rad rabbit · Rad-rat · Radtoad · Radroach · Radscorpion (Albino radscorpion Giant radscorpion ) · Radstag · Scorched · Scorchbeast · Snallygaster · Squirrel · Stingwing · Tick · Super mutant (Vault 87) (Super mutant behemoth , Super mutant brute , Super mutant master , Super mutant overlord · Super mutant (Institute) · Super mutant (Huntersville) · Swampfolk · Trog · Wendigo · Wolf · Yao guai Midwest Fallout Tactics Van Buren Badger · Boom bug · House cat · Brahmin · Dog · Electro-beetle · Endless walker · Gehenna · Ghoul (Born ghoul , Feral ghoul , Glowing one ) · Giant albino ant (Giant albino ant queen ) · Giant leech · Giant rat · Giant wasp · Hairy deathclaw (Baby hairy deathclaw ) · Human · Komodo dragon · Molech · Mountain lion · Mutant cannibal · Raccoon · Radroach · Radscorpion · Radtoad · Trog · Super mutant (Mariposa) · Wolf TexasFallout: BoS Fallout: BoS 2 Brahmin · Coyote · Dog · Experimental deathclaw (Baby experimental deathclaw ) · Ghoul (Glowing one ) · Giant rat (Mole rat ) · Human · Radbug · Radscorpion (glowing radscorpion , spitting radscorpion , large giant radscorpion ) · Small rat · Giant rat · Super mutant (Mariposa) Project V13 Ghoul · Human · Mutant mantis shrimp · Super mutant (Project V13) Fallout Shelter Bat · Deathclaw · Feral ghoul · Ghoul · Human · Mole rat · Cat · Dog · Parrot · Radroach · Radscorpion · Super mutant
