婆羅門(英文:Brahmin 或 brahma) 是具有兩顆頭和巨型乳房的變種黃牛。他們是在戰後美利堅合眾國所發現的物種。它们在废土上被饲养,以获取它们的劳动力、奶、肥料、毛发、皮革和肉。
背景[]
婆罗门是后核时代美国最重要的突变物种之一。 作为印度婆罗门牛的后代,为了杂交目的而进口到美国,由于辐射的结果,它们长出了两个头。 这些温暖的棕色小动物很快被幸存者收养,成为废土中最多才多艺和最能干的家畜动物。[1] 它们的主要优势是,虽然脾气不好,但实际上很容易管理,只要一根尖尖的棍子。[2]原因很简单。 婆罗门是浑身是宝。活的可以用来拉手推车、汽车、犁、提供牛奶(这与现代牛奶有很大的不同,但却很相似)、提供有效的肥料和生火的燃料(换句话说[3],是垃圾)、纺织用的毛发,等等。宰杀后,它们甚至可以用作肉,皮革(坚韧耐用,适合帐篷,衣服,盔甲,皮带,马鞍包,鞋子等各种物品),骨头(可以制成棍棒, 工具,骰子,锄头,箭头),尾巴(如刷子),甚至用于制皂的油脂。 它们也不需要太多的生存空间,因为它们可以长时间不用水,靠着在干旱的废土上找到任何杂草就能生存,[Non-game 1]可以在八格胃中消化(与战前相比,牛的数量增加了一倍 )。[4]
这些优势使它们成为许多后核经济的基石,最引人注目的是新加州共和国,那里庞大的婆罗门群体是其工业的推动力,也受到了强大的婆罗门男爵的影响。通过扩展,它们还为寄生虫的经济提供了动力,例如2240年代的新里诺,当时偷牛为该市犯罪家庭带来了急需的收入。
生物特徵[]
婆罗门是变异的双头牛。除了两个头,它们还有8个胃腔,[5]雄性有4个睾丸,[6]而雌性则有更大的乳房。它们掉了很多头发,皮肤变成了烤焦的棕色、橙色或粉色,用头撞击或试图用角刺人。婆罗门肉很好吃——如果和其他食物相比的话。婆罗门是一种牛奶的来源,就像现代牛奶一样,但奇怪地不同,据说它有助于治疗辐射中毒。
野生婆罗门可以自己觅食,在废土上随处可见,他们成群结队,四处游荡,啃食散落在沙漠中的肮脏野草。幸运的是,对于废土的生态(以及他们物种的生存)来说,婆罗门可以在没有水的情况下生存很长一段时间——他们不需要太多的水来生存。它们有强烈的嗅觉,它们会毫不犹豫地践踏任何威胁到它们或它们的幼崽的废土掠食者——当然,除了死亡爪,因为没有人会去骚扰死亡爪。
偶尔,婆罗门生下来只有一个头——基本上是一头普通的牛。具有讽刺意味的是,这些单头婆罗门被称为“突变的”婆罗门。有些人怀疑它们的存在。[7]
品種[]
婆羅門[]
標準的,溫順的變種,遍及整個廢土。
瘋狂的婆羅門[]
疯婆的罗门就是疯了的婆罗门。目前还不清楚大脑退化是由于辐射还是疾病造成的,但有一件事是肯定的:他们会对几乎所有遇到的人怀有敌意。
野生婆羅門[]
未被馴養的婆羅門,在廢土上群體遊走。

Story Time Miss Nanny提到了奶牛,作为一个随机遭遇事件她将告诉避难所居民在《杰克与豆茎》(Jack and the Beanstalk)的故事。[8]
幕後[]
- 最初由Scott Campbell设计的婆罗门是生著長毛的笨拙变异地鼠。由於太像星球大战电影中的班萨,因此被改成有兩個頭的變異牛外觀。[Non-game 2]
- 有一隻婆羅門出現在Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura的彩蛋裡,它在怪咖秀上表演且被解說為來自"遠的要命的廢土"。
- “婆罗门(Brahmin)”这个名字可能来自一種稱作婆罗门的牛品種。同時在印度教中,婆罗门是指瓦尔纳中最高等的祭司種姓,他們的传统之一是对牛的崇敬,由於这个宗教原因导致该名称在印度版《異塵餘生3》中被禁止。[9]
- 《異塵餘生圣经》说婆罗门是通过強制進化病毒产生的。[Non-game 3]

The Vault Dweller: "{133}{}{So what's the spear for?}"
Billy: "{135}{}{Oh, they can be awfully stubborn when I want them to do something. I just gently stick them to get them to move around . . . plus I don't want to get too close; they sometimes kick. }"

Rose: "{196}{}{[The crowd yells, '38!'] Well, what makes ours taste so special is that you have to harvest it while the brahmin is still alive. You just grab the brahmin by the scrotum and 'snip' four with one cut. You've got be careful; the brahmin usually gets riled up at that point.}"

- ↑ Fallout Bible 9 Brahmin: "Brahmin are mutated brahmin cattle with two heads. If you just said, 'hell, I thought brahmin were something from India,' well, you'd be right. A bunch of brahmin made their way to the states long ago[1] for crossbreeding purposes. When the bombs fell, brahmin grew two heads. They are quite hardy. They are also a delicious toasty brown, as you'll notice in the picture to the left. They attack by head-butting or trying to gore someone with their horns, so brahmin-tippers beware. For some reason, only the left-most brahmin head has horns, which raises some curious gender identity issues.[2]"
"Brahmin serve a vital environmental niche in Fallout - they form the foundation of survival for many species in Fallout, most notably, humans. They also form the backbone of the NCR economy. They also form the backbone of the New Reno 'NCR brahmin rustling' economy. Brahmin can pull carts, old cars, plows, and dead bodies. Brahmin can be driven into herds then used as stampedes on rival tribal villages which is better than a Delayed Blast Fireball any day of the week. Brahmin can be worshipped. Brahmin hair can be woven into bags and ropes. Brahmin hide can be stretched over wooden or metal rods to make canoes, if you're into that sort of thing. Brahmin sinew can be used for bowstrings or thread for stitching. Brahmin shit is great fertilizer (and fuel for campfires). Brahmin meat is delicious - well, only because no one in Fallout knows what a succulent Pre-War steak used to taste like. Brahmin are a source of milk that is like modern day milk, yet terrifyingly different. Brahmin can be tipped over. Brahmin bones can be used as clubs, knives, arrowheads, eating utensils, hoes, or even dice, and their skulls look really scary dotted all over the desert landscape. Their horns can be turned into drinking horns if you feel like getting medieval. Brahmin can be used to distract a hungry deathclaw. Brahmin fat makes decent soap. Their hide can be used to make tents (or tipis/teepees), clothing, belts, saddle bags, shoes, leather armor, or a bizarre brahmin-looking disguise so you can sneak up on other brahmin and listen to their conversations. You can also use their tails as fly brushes or paint brushes, depending on your level of artistic talent."
"There are domesticated brahmin and wild brahmin. PCs are encouraged to approach wild brahmin like they would a domesticated brahmin, because the end result is amusing for the Overseer."
"Wild brahmin can forage for themselves, and they can be found across the wastes, gathered into small herds, wandering here and there, munching on the dirty weeds scattered throughout the desert. Fortunately for the ecology of the wasteland (and the survival of their species), brahmin can go for long periods of time without water - they don't need much to survive. They have a strong sense of smell, and they don't hesitate to stomp over any wasteland predator that threatens them or their calves - well, except deathclaws, because no one messes with deathclaws."
"Brahmin are a great source of cattle drive and range war adventure seeds, if you feel like getting your Louis L'Amour on for a few sessions."
"There are rumors that the smell of brahmin shit is highly addictive." - ↑ "The Origins of Fallout", part 3 by Scott Campbell
- ↑ Fallout Bible 1
Fallout Bible 0: "3. Are the radscorpions a product of the FEV virus? When you talk to the doctor, Razlo, in Shady Sands, he tells you that they were once American Emperor Scorpions but that he has no idea how they mutated because radiation alone couldn't have done it. For that matter, what about all of the other creatures of the wasteland? Which ones have been mutated by FEV and which ones haven't? Maybe in the bestiary each creature could have a stat that shows it's level of FEV infection."
"Answer:- The radscorpions are a result of a combination of radiation and the FEV virus, and Razlo in Shady Sands is correct - they were originally Emperor Scorpions that have grown... big.
- FEV-Infected Critters in the wasteland include almost all the ones you've seen in F1 and F2:
Mantises.
Most species of rats.
Gecko lizards.
Brahmin
Scorpions
Ants
Various varieties of plants, including the Venus Flytrap.
Rumor has it some dogs were affected, but no one's seen any, so for now that's just rumor. Of course, the centaurs are a mash of human, dog, and various other parts... but hey, who knows how that mutation came about. Grey was probably messing around in one of his labs. - Creatures not mutated by FEV probably did not survive the aftermath of the Great War, with the possible exception of cockroaches... and perhaps normal ants, though there are FEV-infected versions of these species.
- No one knows where those bird noises in Vault City came from.
- I'll try to include a chart of FEV-infected creatures in future additions as well as other critters that you may not have seen in F1 and F2. Most likely a great majority of insects were affected (they tend to breed much faster, and their mutations tend to become evident pretty quickly as the generations advance), possibly beetles, some spiders, cockroaches, and other creatures."
