Mega sloths, also known as megasloths,[1][2] are creatures found in Appalachia.

Background[]

Before the Great War, Isaac Garrahan owned several sloths at his family's estate. They are recorded to have escaped the enclosure on at least two occasions, and the lack of sloth remains in the cages at the Garrahan Estate implies they escaped again following the War.[3][4]

The mega sloths are three-toed sloths mutated by radiation. Standing much taller than the average human, their body is covered with filthy and shaggy fur with clusters of mushrooms growing in the fur on their back, similar to fungus grew in the fur of pre-War sloths. These megasloth mushrooms release clouds of spores when the sloth shakes its body, deterring aggressors that get too close. They have heavily calloused patches of skin and sharp teeth. Mega sloths are much larger than pre-War variants.

Gameplay attributes[]

Unlike most creatures, mega sloths may not be immediately hostile; they will ignore anything that is not attacking them. Mega sloths can be found throughout the Mire and Cranberry Bog. Some can be found dangling from large trees, similar to gulpers. In close combat, they can use their claws to scratch, dealing heavy damage. From afar, they may hurl rocks or shake to release a cloud of fungal spores from the mushrooms growing on their back, which clouds one's vision.

Notes[]

  • Mega sloths are mentioned by name in the Collector Pioneer Scout exam.
  • Despite glowing mega sloths being cut, if a mega sloth spawns within a blast zone, its name might change into "glowing mega sloth."
  • Unlike all other Scorched, scorched mega sloths retain their regular variants' passive behavior.

Appearances[]

Mega sloths appear only in Fallout 76.

Behind the scenes[]

Bugs[]

PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One When a mega sloth dies, it may freeze in place and not play its death animation. Its corpse can be clipped through, and looting it will be impossible. One way to fix this is by fast traveling back and forth to the location of the sloth.[verified]

    Those conversations went about how you'd expect. "Sorry, you want WHAT as a monster? ...Why?"
    Then I'd launch into this bit about the history of WV and Mega Sloths...
    But really I just thought murder sloths were funny.😆"
