  • Creatures found in stories that some believe exist, but have never been proven to exist, Cryptids have been present in Fallout since the very beginning.
    Ranging from inter-dimensional invaders and scientific abominations to paranormal phantoms and even the spawn of satan himself.
    Or so characters like the Wandering Storyteller would have you believe, as the truth is often far less mystical.
    In todays video we are running through the known lore of every Cryptid to appear so far in the Fallout series.
    Covering their origins, inspiration and the impact they have had on the setting.

    I actually think the Jersey Devil is just a Northern Fence Lizard that either got experimented on or got incredibly mutated due to radiation or some contamination in the Pine Barrens. The Northern Fence Lizard is native to the New Jersey Pine Barrens and while the females and juveniles are more muted in color the males sometime are a brick red color like the adult Jersey Devil.

      Gonna disagree personally. I hope for future full titles that any Cryptids will be sparse and extremely minimal. Not only does the keep it more mysterious, I feel it's better to keep things less other worldly and original. Deathclaws originally started as Fallouts own cryptid. You'd only meet a couple in game after hearing a few people mention them and even fewer believing they exist.
      Where are the centaurs and Wanamingos? I'm happy they finally brought back floaters even if their new models are off... (I haven't/won't play 76).

Have a solitary Mothman feature in a side quest or something like that, but in 76 I do almost see it as a testing ground for new creature concepts. Not sure if Wannamingos would qualify as Cryptids btw as they had confirmed sightings and a pretty well documented conflict with the Redding labourers (assuming that's what you meant, correct me if not).

    I believe the Smiling Man was also referring to the new Main Quest. One of Russos mentioned that Taking the Devil's Blood makes you feel like you are dancing with the devil, but if you stop, it will tear them apart. (it is also a Tim Burton's Batman Reference).
    Better the devil you know (Blue Devil), than The Devil you Don't well...Not Yet anyway (The Jersey Devil). And yes, i was happier not knowing the Jersey Devil existed.
    Theory: Ingrid Cold is a Showman. (The Coat is a dead give away since no one dresses like that unless they're from Atlantic City). Mother has a thing about being fake, and Ingram is no fake or is he? His acting skills are superb as a phenom, by the dialogue, it sounds like he knew you, or has cold read you, like as though he was watching. But it could be all a facade. Mother has a pet peeve about every show being realistic as possible with no gimmicks. What if Steven Scarberry is Ingram Cold just a wide grin and make-up. We normally don't get allies like these, but there is a possibility, but then again that is like saying, we never see Katherine Swan and The Mistress of Mystery in the same room. The disappearing act he did on us when we attacked does indeed look like the mothman ability. And maybe that part is true, he obtained it through the encounter of its hatchlings, or maybe it is Scarberry just hiding his ability (since we can't really attack allies) from us to mislead us that he is not Ingrid Cold. Just your mild manner Mothman Cultist. Scarberry was spared for a reason, maybe being bitten from a Radioactive Mothman can do that to a person (if so, gimme that mutation). Being spared is a rush and he may not know he was bitten or introduced to a disease/mutation.

The largest turtle ever recorded, Archelon, weighed 3 tons and was only 15ft. Leatherbacks regularly get to over 500Ibs with an average length of 5-6ft, and the largest recorded being only 9-10ft. The largest Alligator Snapper was recorded at 211Ibs, half the weight of the Ogua.

      I have speculated before that it could be a reference to the thunderbird but I'm not sure if its been 100% confirmed anywhere. I hope so, would love to see more pop up. Thanks for checking the video too btw!

    There was a cut cryptid referred to as the Grief Gobbler. A cut quest was to involve us hunting down the beast, only to encounter a deathclaw, hermit crab, sheepsquache, etc. After the fight, it would be revealed that this beast was not the one the individual was talking about before a guttural growl would be heard in the distance, causing the NPC to flee. It was to be a Wanamingo, designed to be more frog-like with two sets of legs instead of the xenomorph style of its original design or the cut concept two legged large mouth for another fallout title. Lore wise it would be possible as its genetic doomsday timer wouldn’t have gone off yet that would’ve killed off any surviving specimens.

    I think the type of dog the Blue Devil was born from was actually a Grey Hound. As the entry says, they have grey, nearly blue hair at times, and that fits grey hounds. Not only that, but grey hounds were racing dogs often used in games of chance like betting on horses. I'm unsure how the fighting part came in, but they are very BIG dogs and I could see their speed and size being used to great effect in a dog fight, if someone were cruel enough to engage in that kind of thing. That's just my two bits though.

    Id like to point out that there are 2 different types of grafton monsters, one with human finger nails, and one without. Along with the enclave not understanding some of the snallygasters they capture, which doesnt make sense since they had their hands on it before the bombs. As well as the fact there were wendigo before the war, which means radiation wasnt its ENTIRE changing factor. Another thing you should've included with the ogua is that they tracked it BACK to WV, and it came from the bottom south eastern side

    I really like how there's a good mix of genuine cryptids and traditional Fallout scifi wackiness involved here with FEV outbreaks and Zetan shenanigans while also having actual legit Mothman cults and eldritch entities with no clear origin. It really adds an authentic charm to the world building like that.

    • @UraniumFever76
      @UraniumFever76  2 месяца назад

      So when this note first went live we all jumped on it straight away as Greyhounds. But then a dev said to pay particular attention to the order 'first for racing then for fighting' like we were incorrect. And technically Greyhounds were bred for coursing/hunting first and then racing. No fighting... so yeah still open-ended but it's eating away at me lol. I really want to know what it was!!!

    My Theory about the Blue Devil: maybe its Ancestors were Wolfdogs or some other Hybrid. Some Hybrids grow way bigger than their Parent Species.
    Maybe it became a Trend in the later Decades to breed those for racing and then when the Ressource Wars started, their Potential for the Battlefield was discovered 🤔

    If there is one (sorta) cryptid I'd like to see Bethesda do with the Fallout series is for them to actually make the Hodag Cryptid real in the game.
    My only concern doing that is that if they added it to Fo76 it wouldn't technically work since the Hodag originated from Wisconsin (specifically near the town of Rhinelander) and not West Virginia or near WV. And my second concern is that it technically isn't even a real creature. The original Hodag was made by someone out of taxidermied animal parts and used a smoke and mirrors trick to convince travelers he captured this creature to show off to tourists and locals. It wasn't till later when they found it and discovered it was a fake.
    But I would love to see how Bethesda would make something like that in Fallout, I think it would be a pretty cool encounter

    There are too many comments for me to check if anyone else saw this, but the Flatwoods alien is most likely a reference to a rare in a ps1 game Wild Arms named Creeping Chaos. The map drawing is almost exactly like them, they ARE aliens, AND they have an attack called direct voice that causes your charas to turn against each other under it's control. It was renamed in #s 2 and 3, and in 3 you can fight an invasion of them, shooting down a mothership.
