They are hideously mutated Vault 87 FEV test subjects. In the Vault 87 terminal entries, a vast majority of the deaths logged in the computers were caused by FEV experimentation.
Characteristics[]
Biology[]
Failed FEV subjects appear to have undergone much of the same physical changes that other super mutants went through after FEV exposure, such as greenish skin and increased muscle mass and bone density. However, their internal structures seem to have grown at a random, rapid pace throughout their body, resulting in the muscles and bones bursting the skin, killing them in a horrific and painful fashion. The failed FEV subjects' upper torsos are much larger and far more visibly mutated than their legs, with enormous tumor-like growths blooming from the neck and shoulders. They all wear tattered Vault 87 jumpsuits.
Variants[]
Failed FEV subject[]
Found in the Vault 87 test labs, they are all dead and their holding cells have a small amount of radiation. According to the Vault 87 laboratory computer, they are among many of the FEV test subjects that have died due to their brains being unable to support even the most simple actions of the human body and behavior after being injected with FEV.[1]
Very aggressive: Will attack enemies and neutrals on sight.
Foolhardy: Will never flee or avoid anyone.
Helps friends: Will help friends and allies.
Melee (4 )
None
Notes[]
By trying to move their corpses with grenades, the corpse will appear in a different spot and position. They have no ragdoll animation.
When moving the corpse by picking it up, it will stay in position, and an invisible skeleton will be moved. The player character can move it around or search the empty corpse.
Their eyes are two different colors, one brown and one blue.
The two failed FEV experiment's entries in the G.E.C.K. suggest they were originally planned to be live enemies at some point since their S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes are already written out and they possess super mutant dialogue. However, they have no AI or animations. Therefore, upon resurrection, they will lie where they are, spouting super mutant dialogue and appearing as red blips on the radar.
Bugs[]
