Swan has a very sad story compared to most super mutants Edit: There is one behemoth in far harbor that made a gang of mutants and took over the Vim pop factory
I actually just cleared the Vim factory last night. I read all the terminals that logged a smarter mutant that locked "Grun" in the basement and used it as a distraction to escape. I found that door, and unlocked the terminal, preparing myself to fight some Super Mutant leader, like other dungeons have. You see, as Fallout 4 is my first Fallout game, I am unfamiliar with lore. And you can imagine how quickly I reclosed the door when I saw that Grun was a Behemoth. Then Grun somehow reopened the door. Maybe it was a bug, but boy am I glad I had that Vim power armor on.
That's the perk of being the PC. However in lore it's unlikely anyone would best a super mutant. They're faster, more resilient and the ones in the Capital Wasteland are far more intelligent than others
One of the bos members in the citadel says that the capital wasteland mutants were created by a different strand of FEV than the mutants out west and the ones in Chicago, which is why they get huge while the west coast mutants stay the same size
are you sure about that? I’m pretty sure all super mutants keep growing uncontrollably, your not just lucky and get the behemoth strand, you have to survive and wait to get to the behemoth cycle.
@@caliber_v there are no behemoths on the west coast. You find plenty of gen one supermuntants that were around since about 30 years after the bombs fell in new vegas, and they're normal supermuntant size
@@subjectdelta17 yup didn't the Master fiddle with the F.E.V and somewhat stabilized it. I remember also he improved on the deathclaw design. The reason why some mutants are smart is because they had "untainted blood" due to living in the vaults that had not been exposed to the airborne strain and radiation that had leaked when the bombs fell . As it's later stated most life had been exposed to it so it wasn't compatible . So thus project purity is dangerous with the enclave wanting to kill any "muties". As everyone is exposed to the airborne strain. Then you have Boston and west Virginia mutants which are Failed F.E.V mutants explaining the deformations and very few rational mutants aside from Graham,Strong and the one from far harbor
@@subjectdelta17 I don’t think that comes from a lore standpoint, back then they never thought of it like that, Bethesda came up with the concept of “keep growing no matter what.” While the originals were just big bad green boys
@@subjectdelta17 oh yeah btw also that was 30 years after, who’s not to say super mutants have extended lifespan? if we take into account the 180 years past, it could make sense that behemoths are the end of the life span.
From what I can tell, there aren't any behemoths on the western USgames, like Fallouts 1, 2 and New Vegas, since the mutants there were created by The Master, who specifically used non-irradiated humans or at the very least minimally irradiated humans when turning them into super mutants. Vault 87's mutants just grab any random person off the streets they can to make more mutants, the very slight mutations of these irradiated humans making them less compatible with FEV. This also means that their bodies are more unstable compared to west coast mutants so along with the lower intelligence, they experience a constant growth cycle.
This isn't correct. He TRIED to use non-irradiated humans, but failed to do so in most cases besides his lieutenant. If you remember, they were kidnapping humans fron caravans in the wasteland (whom were irradiated). That's why he wants the location of vault 13 in fallout 1; to get access to non-irradiated humans. The west coast mutants also experience a constant growth cycle and do not die from age.
I've been working on a large project for Fallout that will include new factions, Creatures, mutants, locations, etc across all over the U.S. alongside the existing factions to fill out the world more for years and have had something very interesting in mind for behemoths, and some characters for them
I feel like due to Frank Horrigan’s size he could be classified as the first and, as of yet, only intelligent behemoth. Or at least he was on his way to that.
Frank was only 1 or 2 feet taller than the average normal Supermutants themselves, also as stated Behemoths forced evolutions over the years have caused caused speech issues to the point they cant talk or can but unintellegibly, basically making noises rather than communicating. Frank has level 10 across all S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats & has been described to wipe out towns of supermutants with ease, Something a behemoth wouldnt do. They dont compare at all.
The idea of the mutants continuing to grow and mutate always made me think that there should be a corpse of a extra large behemoth that just grew to the point it wasn’t possible to survive
They mutants on the west coast have a more unstable FEV transformation so their cells grow more out of control especially since they are also irritated
Fallout 5 is gonna have some cool shit to play with, imagine a clan of super mutants following a behemoth thats been mindlessly wandering the wasteland laying destruction down everywhere it goes without a care in the world, maybe like a moving city built around or behind it, the possibilities are mad. I wanna write whenever i think about possible fallout lore lol
Would love to see one set in Colorado and have it span around Denver Boulder Colorado Springs pikes peak aspen etc etc. Lots of silos and military bases there lore rich area great backdrop could showcase so many iconic things depending on scaling of map.
Shout out to the cool ass Behemoth homie who could talk and who actually still had some cool human chill left In him! ❤❤❤❤ I miss you bro!! Even if u was just a NPC 🎉
If a super mutant gets dumber the older they get than that mean strong fawkes and Davidson must be younger since they are still able to be reasoned with.
Been there to that place in real life multiple times alongside goodsprings Primm the mountain pass searchlight the hoover dam Boulder city etc cool areas but mount Charleston is a gem in that landscape
Can we get an explanation as to why the ones it capital wasteland happen to be the odd bunch out because as far as I've learned the green mutants are the normal ones the blue ones are nightkin and that's a mutation but why Are the capital wasteland ones are not only yellow orangish in color but they are easily 2-3x the size of any other mutant and smarter but unlike other mutants they work much better in groups and even set traps and the ones in vault 87 showed that they have a social hierarchy that they strictly follow they even plan raids and capture people to turn into mutants if you read the terminals and look around 87 you can see they even went thru tons of trial and error and knew only to get the strongest and healthiest people
Hello! I have no idea if you ever found these answers but I have a few of them. Before the end of the great war, America was dealing with The New Plague, and multiple different sources radiation, either from weapons, or technology they were using to fight the Chinese. Scientist began working on a potential fix for both of these problems chemically by making soldiers that were naturally resistant to all diseases, radiation, and injuries. FEV quickly gained progress as the government at the time had lucrative contracts with multiple companies dedicated to chemistry and weapons technology at this time. Before they could roll it out to all soldiers they needed to test it. Which is where we find out first strain, at the mariposa military base. A trader(The Master), Harold, and a buddy went to investigate where all these massive, angry mutant were coming from at this base when the master fell in to the green stuff with harold, but harold only splashed by fev turning into a super ghoul. The master was LEFT in the fev because no one had fished him out turning him into pure brain, and biomass that could interface and absorb anything that runs off of radiated energy. Crawling out of the vat like a centuar he bound himself to the bases supercomputer and began Unity for all mutants. This is why you have talking intelligent mutants, and the nightkin. With the master psionic link with all his mutants, he was able to amplify and monitor all of his subordinates to find more perfect humans from vaults for his plans. Exposing humans to radiation then dipping them causes problems. Humans that's have never irridated make highly intelligent, stabilized mutants like Marcus. And exposing supermutants to stealth boys for a long time, turns them into nightkin. After the master was overthrown due to self destruction after finding out all super mutants are sterile, and once he's out of FEV it was only a matter of time before human snuff out the last of his armies, said armies began to spread out and find lives of their own. Meansunofabish, lily, and Marcus were all these stabilized, intelligent mutants that will not go behemoth, or randomly lose their minds. Well call them west coast. NOW remember that FEV was prewar virus? So Mariposa wasn't the only place to have it. The had it in vault 87, Some where in the commonwealth, and in Huntersville west tek facilities in west Virginia. These strains were developed under duress as they were all made in vaults or government bunkers like the institute after the bombs dropped. So why is 87 the odd man out? It's because the lack of leadership. The subjects at 87 were never meant to perpetuate. After someone had died to do brain function deteriorating until it ceased. They shutter the program and kept the mutants in containment. These guys had a special muscle growth variant called the EEP variant, so they're stupid, bigger, yellow green, and can go behemoth. These juiced up imbeciles knew only three things. Fight, survive, and green stuff makes more muties. They overpowered the security staff, and the children fled into the caves. Becoming little lamp light. Mungos have to leave because once you are 16, you become desirable to the demons (super mutants). The muties in 87 learned everything they know from trial and error, and the fact that constantly dip everyone and only prefer healthy strong humans because they're the mostly to survive the dip for 24 hours. They're dumb, aggressive, and only worked together because of their common goal of being "better" than humans at winning fights. This is why in fallout 3 they seem like a horde of orcs from fantasy game. There's a peaceful muntant named Uncle Leo who explains that these specific super mutants are only interested In a lowest common denominator answer. Violence. This is only speculation, but I think the institute must've found the research files for this strain of the virus and altered it with their experiments with wastelands and people they were punishing like swan. From what I remember swan was just a dude with a conscious so they gave him a shot with FEV and sat him next to a heavily irradiated pond to see what would happen. He behemothed. The Huntersville strain isn't anything other then an asset reused from a previous game with some hand wavy explanation. The Enclave trying to use anything to cure the scorched Plague, blah blah blah. Super mutants resist fallout but not nukes so we don't seem them or the scorched yap yap yap. Stuff like that. TL:DR= West cost mutants were byproducts of the previous governments super soldier program. Their code was stabilized and tailored to the human genome for mostly benefits, the only drawback being infertility. East coast mutants are made by the wastelands CURRENT government(s) by just dipping the best people they can find into vats of green stuff they came across while I assume mustache twirling and stealing candy from babies. Because of how cartoonishly evil villains are in fallout.
@@CabiriousPlusokay I get it so basically smarter healthier people who've never been exposed to radiation make the smarter mutants and the color difference with the green and yellow is due to the green ones having essentially a lesser advanced strain of FEV As far as swan goes he was an institute scientist if you search the area around his pond you can find all his journal logs where he describes basically being tricked into turning into a mutant If I remember correctly he was given a shot of FEV and lied to about what it was but eventually figured it out when he started noticing the changes
@@freddiebinthaplace2be634 It's do to them using the unspecialized variant on just about any human tjsy find. Yes exactly, You've got it my friend! The most specialized variant is in the Boston Commonwealth dude the to institute's use of FEV to make Gen 3 Synth identical to humans but immune to disease, and radation. (What humanity wanted the FEV to do for themselves originally.)
In my Fallout Healdsburg fanfic on Wattpad my main character is a rare breed that can switch between Human and Supermutant Behemoth. He’s also Sleepwalked being a Supermutant Behemoth.
Lore Tour, what are your thoughts regarding the Super Mutants as of the current era so far? Are they all dying out or some survivors of the Master's army back when they were beside him may have picked up his knowledge to create or carry FEV onto unlucky wasteland travelers?
East Coast Super Mutants are probably dying out, the FEV stores in the Capital Wasteland are almost dry by the time of Fallout 3 I believe and without the Institue experimenting, there won't be any new Mutants in Boston. I'd doubt we'd have any of the Masters gang successfully restarting FEV production but never know, need a new game set out west!
Considering his origins. There's a good chance he's going to get big. But he was a special case so maybe he'll get dumber but stay nice in spite of that? I think it would be rad if there was a "choose the wasteland" ending were the fog mother and Behemoth Fawkes take on liberty prime and the brotherhood. Sort of a Nature Vs. Technology kind of thing flipped on its head. were instead of being violently truamatised by Fallout's current world being destroyed by carelessness, you respect and adapt to it. start caring for it and the things you like about it.
Frank Horrigan was made using the Mariposa FEV strain which is a liquid and mixed with radiation. The D.C mutants were airborne FEV and were an experiment by Vault-Tec
But Swan is not very old at all. Unless the institute has super FEV, then this theory falls apart. But even that doesn’t make sense bc Virgil has been a mutant for weeks and hasn’t lost his mind yet. Swan went from human to behemoth in 3 weeks
The Supermutants in 3 and 4 have different origins, In 4 they came from The Institute, in 3 they came from a vault experiment. Guess it's just done to allow Bethesda to play around with the Supermutants and make them unique in each game
I’d love to see one in the show. Doesn’t even have to be up close. Just Cooper talking mad game about how radiation is nothing to him, so he just strolls into a highly irradiated zone. Then, in the distance, he spots the big ass behemoth just chucking cars around trying to kill mole rats. Cut to him walking right out past Lucy without saying a word
Theyre more devolved mentally is the more complicated but more accurate way of saying it because the older ones assert dominance on the younger ones kinda like most pack animals
You know I think becoming a super mutant is worth it, as long as you end up like Marcus, or especially Frank horrigan. Frank was out here one shotting deathclaws.
For anyone wondering why marcus and lilly aren't behemoths considering thier over a hundred years old its because the master modified the marsposa FEV instead of using the original one which the original formula is what vault tech, west tech and the institute based theirs on thus all east coast mutants reach max behemoth size in 25 years ish
I’ve played this game for years and I still haven’t got all the achievements. I finally just killed two of these big green things. The super mutants are scary on 3 and NV vs 4
Lots of calories and lots of rads would be my guess, I’d also suppose some are more likely than others to be able to reach such sizes because of genetics. Rather simple explanation though if you’re looking for a direct in lore reason
Swan, I believe as with all Commonwealth Super Mutants was made by the Institute, so may be a bit different to Fallout 3s Super Mutants who cone from a vault :)
I know that they can sometimes take over, but why don’t super mutant behemoths just destroy the smaller ones? I was just a little confused if they’re so dumb they smash everything in sight.
Something else to know is that all supermutants may look the same, but are both sexes. The FEV exposure removes all sexually dimorphic traits, and renders them sterile.
If I had a nickel for every slightly ginger, british fallout RUclipsrs , I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
So pretty much close to the hulk as you can get without trying to get a lawsuit pretty much what super mutants are the virus in place for gamma radiation but you can't really transform back into the human and you're kind of always in that state

Nice content, i subbed to your channel.
Average Floridian be like:
Lets hope fawkes does didnt turn
Considering his origins. There's a good chance he's going to get big. But he was a special case so maybe he'll get dumber but stay nice in spite of that? I think it would be rad if there was a "choose the wasteland" ending were the fog mother and Behemoth Fawkes take on liberty prime and the brotherhood. Sort of a Nature Vs. Technology kind of thing flipped on its head. were instead of being violently truamatised by Fallout's current world being destroyed by carelessness, you respect and adapt to it. start caring for it and the things you like about it.
I didn't know Theon Greyjoy played fallout
*40k orks and supermutants doing that one Spider-Man meme*
Does that mean frank horrigan could have gotten even more powerful ? 😮
Frank Horrigan was made using the Mariposa FEV strain which is a liquid and mixed with radiation. The D.C mutants were airborne FEV and were an experiment by Vault-Tec
Ogryn type beat
If they get older they might just forget how to breath and die because of being dummy?
True!
There would still be basics instincts, he would be more like an animal than anything
Mad to think frank horrigan is literally an intelligent version of these but with a suit of state of the arc power armour with weapons attached 💀
I wonder if Super Mutants can actually live as long as Ghouls.
Oh so you can just keep one for a couple generations, perhaps evergreen mills did something like that to end up with their complicit behemoth.
But Swan is not very old at all. Unless the institute has super FEV, then this theory falls apart. But even that doesn’t make sense bc Virgil has been a mutant for weeks and hasn’t lost his mind yet. Swan went from human to behemoth in 3 weeks
The Supermutants in 3 and 4 have different origins, In 4 they came from The Institute, in 3 they came from a vault experiment. Guess it's just done to allow Bethesda to play around with the Supermutants and make them unique in each game
The Super Mutants in Fallout 4 are very smart they just partake in a barbaric culture.
I’d love to see one in the show. Doesn’t even have to be up close. Just Cooper talking mad game about how radiation is nothing to him, so he just strolls into a highly irradiated zone. Then, in the distance, he spots the big ass behemoth just chucking cars around trying to kill mole rats. Cut to him walking right out past Lucy without saying a word
They'd have to go to The Eastern US, since Behemoths don't exist in the West
Theyre more devolved mentally is the more complicated but more accurate way of saying it because the older ones assert dominance on the younger ones kinda like most pack animals
They're mutants that hit the gym
Purge them all!
Dude so happy to see this amazing channel taking off in viewership. Best of luck brother love the videos.
Thanks Dude, that means a lot 🙂
He kept mentioning how dumb they are like he had beef with them 😂
Bro sounds like Paladin Danse
You know I think becoming a super mutant is worth it, as long as you end up like Marcus, or especially Frank horrigan. Frank was out here one shotting deathclaws.
Bros forehead matches that if the super mutants 💀
*fivehead will be a sixhead if my hairline recedes any more
Except for swan, who is capable of saying his own name.
Fawkes is pretty intelligent for a super mutant
@@HighFalutinTootin Fawkes is not a behemoth.
Only exception to the unintelligent speech is Frank Horrigan
Super mutants from fallout 3 subjected to a modified strain of the Fev*
For anyone wondering why marcus and lilly aren't behemoths considering thier over a hundred years old its because the master modified the marsposa FEV instead of using the original one which the original formula is what vault tech, west tech and the institute based theirs on thus all east coast mutants reach max behemoth size in 25 years ish
They ate all their vegetables
Radiation makes you big, and the more radiation you take, the bigger you get
Not going to lie playing and surviving as a super mutant would give me the same vibes as the orc in elder scrolls. Love me some super mutants.
Finally some make a video about this🔥🔥🔥🔥
HOLY FOREHEAD GADZOOKS
Are you telling me these pills I bought aren’t gonna work?
I’ve played this game for years and I still haven’t got all the achievements. I finally just killed two of these big green things. The super mutants are scary on 3 and NV vs 4
Yeah 4 really toned them down a lot
There were really tall😂
Lots of calories and lots of rads would be my guess, I’d also suppose some are more likely than others to be able to reach such sizes because of genetics. Rather simple explanation though if you’re looking for a direct in lore reason
I loved the part where he explained how they turned into behemoths
I refuse to believe that they are that big for any other reason than Bethesda wanted them to be
Imagine the older you get the dumber you get too lol
Swan says swan.
:)
Swan, I believe as with all Commonwealth Super Mutants was made by the Institute, so may be a bit different to Fallout 3s Super Mutants who cone from a vault :)
You look like you would be Hughie's brother in the boys
I know that they can sometimes take over, but why don’t super mutant behemoths just destroy the smaller ones? I was just a little confused if they’re so dumb they smash everything in sight.
30000 calories a day, GOOD MACROS, and a Batman level work ethic and training routine 🤣
There is only one mutant I like and that is Frank Horrigan
Damn, what did Harold do to you.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG-Oh, shit, wait, wrong universe- my bad!
Then we have faukes and dog/god over here scaring me with their intelligence
Something else to know is that all supermutants may look the same, but are both sexes. The FEV exposure removes all sexually dimorphic traits, and renders them sterile.
Grandma Lily is a good example of this.
*enter Frank Horrigan:*
I forgot the name of Super Mutant Behemoth who was in The Enclave.
The answer is obvious, the behemoths come from the chads that were captured.
Technically super mutants originated from the West Tech facility
West Coast ones yes. Capital Wasteland Mutants all originate from FEV experiments in one of the Vaults :)
If I had a nickel for every slightly ginger, british fallout RUclipsrs , I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
I'm ginger?!
@@LoreTours slightly
too muh brocolilllllll :((
Dose that mean the homies Fawkes Neil Strong and Marcus will inevetabley turn into a behemoth? Thats kinda depressing.
Impressive
Put simply….I think it was just an issue with scaling humanoid dimensions.
It's weird how dumb they are but make armor and weapons for themselves
big ahh head boa
West coast mutants vs East coast Mutants
So it was FEV? You don't say!
So pretty much close to the hulk as you can get without trying to get a lawsuit pretty much what super mutants are the virus in place for gamma radiation but you can't really transform back into the human and you're kind of always in that state
Hadn't though of it like that but yeah there's actually loads of Hulk similarities
Some of em doesn't transform completely Wich makes him the friendliest between them
