“我认为漂浮怪是辐射宇宙中很酷的生物，但是，像多脚兽一样，它们有非常奇怪的身体，需要配备独特的动画。 从动画的角度来看，无肢飞行的东西往往很廉价通常)，像人一样的两足动物很廉价，四足动物也不差。 一旦你开始接触有多个头、蛇体、触须等的生物，它们就会变得非常有价值。IIRC，我们说过要有漂浮怪，但是我们没有时间给他们动画。”— Joshua Sawyer on the Frog Helms Fan Club
漂浮怪是由Jason D. Anderson所创作。 值得注意的是，在安德森（Anderson）用色情图片做嘴巴之后，这种生物被称为“括约肌怪物”。[6]
登场
漂浮怪出现在《辐射》、《辐射2》和《辐射76》。 The Art of Fallout 3 includes concept art for a Lamprey floater, Manowar tendril floater, and Needle tooth floater. Creatures named floater budding and floater evolved also appear in Fallout: New Vegas, though they use the centaur model, a legacy of development.
↑Fallout 2 Official Strategies & Secrets p.26-27: "Floaters hover by, manufacturing and storing noxious gases in their flotation bladders. They're stupid, but move fast and are very difficult to kill. Floaters will try to surround you, so keep your distance. The gases that allow them to float turn them into a wonderful flambé when you crisp them with fire or energy weapons."
