Yao guai are a species of mutated bears that inhabit the Commonwealth in 2287.
Background
The name comes from the Chinese term "yao guai," which translates to "monster" or "demon." The name was given to the creature by the descendants of the Chinese that were living in internment camps during the Great War.
The yao guai is a mutated bear of debatable origin species in the Commonwealth. Possibly mutated from the black bears native to the region, these yao guai are generally larger than their unmutated predecessors and are more aggressive. The physical build of the Commonwealth variant does not seem to drastically deviate from pre-War bears as much as the yao guai in the Capital Wasteland and Zion Canyon. Comparatively, they are overall less dog-like in their posture and movement and actually sport thicker patches of fur and more fat. Since their upper body, chest, and arms are not as massive, the Commonwealth yao guai have a more traditional bear-like posture and gait.
Characteristics
Biology
Although generally found alone, yao guai exhibit a gentle, familial bond toward one another when found together, provided they do not feel threatened by the observer's presence. Yao guai will attack nearly any other creature or person they encounter, including deathclaws.
They seem to appear as often during the daytime as they do during the night time. This is a primary difference between the Commonwealth yao guai compared to the Capital Wasteland variants.
Gameplay attributes
The stunted yao guai is a wasteland creature one can meet during the story campaign, in the quest Reunions. While following Dogmeat, one may appear. Alternatively, they can spawn in specific locations around the wasteland when the player character is at a lower level.
Variants
Stunted yao guai
Not as physically imposing as normal yao guai due to minor malformations, past injuries or arrested development; as a result they are less of a threat compared to other variants. Where they are found with another yao guai it is usually one with a similar affliction.
