Mutant mantis shrimp were to be creatures found in Interplay's Fallout Online - also known as Project V13.

Background[]

The origin of these creatures is unknown but they have been able to survive the conditions left behind by the Great War.

Far larger than their pre-War counterparts, they are able to survive in waterlogged, cavernous openings on the coast. The creatures are capable of throwing devastating punches at a sonic speed, enough to split hardened power armor.[1]

Locations[]

Four mutant mantis shrimp were encountered by the joint Brotherhood of Steel and Guardian Brotherhood team on a shattered rock beach somewhere in the vicinity of the Glow.

Notes[]

Despite visually looking more like a mutated mantis shrimp, the creatures are referred to by the Brothers Grimm as being "sonic lobsters" or a "giant lobster."

Appearances[]

Several mutant mantis shrimp appears in the short story "On the Beach," published in The Armageddon Rag, Vol. 3 and were also going to appear in Fallout Online.
