Ive not seen this mentioned before and it was 2 minutes ago I just thought about it while I washing the pots, Anyways Im yet to see or hear anything from a Behemoth in NV? Anyone know a logical reason why there arnt any?

I also came across http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HjGpsrTatQI/0.jpg photo while browsing on google and I think its a stunning photo from fallout 3.

The Behemoths are an east coast thing they don't appear on the west coast

How come?

Different strains of FEV. West Coast Super Mutants don't keep growing over time.

Well, basically, two potential reasons:

The first being because Behemoths may not canonically exist. All modern FEV creature variants were created by The Master, using FEV from West-Tek/Mariposa.

Unfortunately that was immediately pre-war, there is no canonical way for FEV to end up in a vault in Maryland that was also pre-war.


The second option preserves the canonicity of FO3 (which may or may not be questionable). In that case it's simply because FEV is amazingly genetically unstable, unique conditions in the east-coast vault lead to it developing the ability to make a behemoth, but for some reason not a floater or a "true" centaur.

Oh right ok, I never even knew how a supermutant became a Behemoth.

This article helps a little bit but I think the main reason why is the strain of the FEV that was used as the East Coast strain is different from the West Coast strain. The East Coasts is more heavily modified then the West.

The video that it was from was pretty awesome as well.

Oh some info thanks, Will have a read through. Hope it mentions behemoth radroach hehe.

@ mdo567: I would love to watch it, If you remember how to find the vid could you post a link?

DeathClaw mothers are huge.

Here it is

2nd and 3rd generation super mutants in the east coast made behemoths (and became them). I think

:lmao: Yeah, i get big ideas while washing the dishes too. Also when taking a shower or walking, and pretty much any activity that doesn't require brains, including some games

So, what's the reason there aren't Deathclaw Matriarchs and Alpha Males in the East Coast? Deathclaws were purposely created before the apocalypse, right? The Old Olney tunnels have Deathclaw eggs, but no (or atleast not named) female Deathclaws.

That was a great few videos, I really liked the Armed Behemoth vs Behemoth.

Thank you.

Behemoths are the end stage of FEV-V87 mutation, not West-Coast FEV-1/2 mutation. It's a D.C. thing.

Thanks man that was great to watch.

@ ToJKa: Haha you're right thou, things randomly pop into your head when you're bored.
