Stingwings are not dragonflies but mutated scorpionflies Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! The Legendary Bloatfly is another creature that uses electricity (plasma) but I can’t believe Clark would have seen this creature and not mentioned it’s green aura/tint. Fear not it will appear in its own video alongside the other legendary creatures. Also, Odonates includes Damselflies and the Labium mouthpart is typically seen only in nymphs, the immature form, but adults could have maintained this feature through mutation. If you enjoyed the video, please leave a like!
I mean, look at radroaches. Despite being the bottom of the foodchain, they still get some WTF moments like the giant pregnant roach at the NukaWorld gauntlet.
@@Bothrops_Asper_89 funny thing I noticed. When I was a kid, the radroaches never scared me, as they were just a generic enemy. However, now as an adult, I try to "immerse" myself in games more... And I agree, I recently noticed the radroaches are god damn horrific, with their squiggly legs, running at you... "REEEEE" ☢️🪳💀
The Blue Whale was supposed to appear as a world boss in Fallout 4. There's random dialogue that can be heard from mercenaries at Bunker Hill that mention a "Blue Ghoul Whale" called Ol' Peg.
@@patrickhildebrandt9328 No kidding, I can handle a behemoth or a legendary albino deathclaw in FO4 with proper preparation. But for cazadores, the best way to handle them is to avoid them for me.
It is odd that hornets of any kind aren't seen... They can survive more rads than cockroaches can. With that in mind, swarms of ants did survive, which is awesome.
@@FroggyHopScotch30 I am quite aware. Again, refer to other notes. They are genetically altered tarantula hawk wasps by the folks at the Big MT. They are not caused by the radiation that mutated everything else.
I'd like to know where you got your information on hornets. Roaches immunity comes from how little they molt and aside from disproven tabloid claims littering googles top results, alot of the public interactions between hornets and radiation suggest hornets don't like it. All the mud hornets at the Washington radioactive testing site abandoned their nests almost immediately after construction.
A fan made idea I saw was like a hive of giant bees that produced an electroshock charged venom in their stings. They still mainly relied on nectar, and settlers would grow crops nearby their hives to get the benefits.
@@chewee4ever811 nah, they described them as small dog sized, and glowing with electricity too. If one was slow and deliberate, it was even possible to enter the hive and gather some of their honey. Sudden movements or entering the inner chambers of the hive meant death though, and settlers they'd been around were usually better tolerated.
Honestly I want to see a lion, a whale(killer whale or a sperm whale), A great white shark, and I would like to see the giant vulture creature from fallout 76(it looks terrifying). If I recall correctly, this vulture is attached to a side of a mountain in 76. There’s a lot of scary things on land in the fallout universe but the ocean scares me even more 😱
Think about how Florida would be, considering how many creatures live there, so many bugs too. We'd already have the damn blood bugs and bot flies as well as roaches.... then the spiders and giant centipedes and millipedes. Swampland hell of mutant bugs
@@vincentender1486 i’ll be honest, I don’t want centipedes or spiders lol 😂. Oh man I hate those things! My aunt had to go to the hospital cause she was bitten by a centipede(it was hiding in her flower pot). I love the centipede from “James and the giant peach” but man in real life they’re evil & sneaky.
I always really want a bayou Fallout with lots of mutated snakes, gators, Crocs and fish. And a variety between them also and some crazy possum and racoon and skunk type things. Like imagine some type of crazy giant badger coming at you also. I just realized those don't really qualify for this list though lol
As a caterpillar enthusiast I'd love to see mutated silkworms/silkmoths. Especially with how common they are among hobbyists and how important they are industrially, they'd make sense as we also have pet scorpions turned into radscorpions all over the wastes.
Someone might’ve already mentioned this already but that bioshock reference vault could’ve also referenced an area in bioshock 2. It was named Fontaine Futuristics and it was controlled by Gilbert Alexander who pretty much transformed into a giant sea monster in order to become a perfect person. I think the sea monster controlling an underwater research lab is also what Fallout was going for with the octopus overseer, but it’s a shame that it got cut before being added 😔
@@maidframe Haven't played any of 76 so i didn't know that although creatures in different environments can take different evolutionary paths. Some snakes/spiders are passive and harmless others are territorial, very aggressive and deadly. Who's to say the same cant happen with fireflys juiced up with radiation?
@@user69987 well a laser is Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation so kinda and they'd need some sort of butt lens to focus the light and you do get laser beams. I'm sure it wouldn't be the weirdest thing in the fallout universe
Leeches have an anticoagulant/anesethic in their saliva. If a 2 foot leech bit you, almost regardless of the bite's location, you would bleed out. You would need a coagulation agent like Quik Clot. Basically you would have to treat any bite as a heavy arterial bleed. And they swarm...
Not an invertebrate (I mean its pretty much JUST a spine) But I still hope to see the pit viper one day. I find all the cut viper's content quite interesting.
the "scooping" motion could be a description of a dragonfly's *catching* motion as well. they create a "basket" of legs, with the tail as a "bottom," and catch the prey with this basket
Great video, my friend! These are all so interesting, and I hope we see some of them in the future. I always just lumped stingwings in with dragonflies, but I suppose they are pretty different.
Thanks, Mantis! I only learned stingwings were scorpionflies and not dragonflies a couple of days ago 😅 I also read stingwings attack with their genitals...
Gila monsters and snakes would be cool to see in the next games, some beetles like the stag and rhinos beetles also. Sea animals like eels and lampreys too.
Does anyone else think that Fallout would work so well as a book series? Of one man trying to make his way through irradiated America only a few years after the bombs fell because his vault fell to the horrors of the wasteland. Where he witnesses the horrors of what people will do in the name of survival: Cannibal communities, betraying friends and family just to see the next hour, how lives are bought and sold for mere scraps of food, what people will trade in the name of order and security, and how diminished the Human Soul truly is in the years after the Apocalypse.
Imagine if Komodo Dragons existed in Fallout. 9’ Lizards that are deadly fast an can spew venomous acid at you! I’d also like to see chimera type creature such as a Lion with Chazidor wings and a Scorpion tail! (I know about nightstalkers)
"Rad-Raff" a smaller than normal Giraff that uses it's unnaturally long tounge as a whip. Maybe it has acid in it that could cut through power armor! It has evolved to eat radioactive plants for its acid.
There is a newer item in fo76 the "butterfly sanctuary" its a small garden looking thing with multiple butterflies flying around it, they produce waste acid
Something i am terrified to see but think would be cool would be Cicadas, I’m terrified of those things but shooting them with a laser gun would be so therapeutic.
I'm fairly certain that being aircraft from the late 70's, F/A-18s would not exist in Fallout, especially since 3 and NV depicted early 50's style fighter aircraft. Of course Megaton includes the wreckage of what appears to be an early 70's L-1011, but that's a commercial aircraft, (and a retrofuturistic looking one) so the rules aren't the same.
The glowing bug could be a mutated fire-fly or "lightning bug" that we haven't seen yet, it uses bioluminescence in real life but maybe in game it could emit a radiation burst type attack that glows.
3:14 I just learned that there are living creatures other than plants able to do photosynthesis. I genuinely mind-blown. I just checked it out on google to see if this is true or not and an article from National Geographic talks about the phenomenon. This is the kind of videos I like viewing and listening to !
Tbf you can at the very least hear Cicadas in Fallout 4 while exploring. I can only assume that unlike many other arthropods, the cicadas were largely unaffected by the Great War and subsequent radiation thanks to their habit burrowing and staying in their nymph form for several years or even over a decade.
I think having starfish esc traps would be pretty cool, like near the beach there are huge player sized ones that make there skin look like the surroundings then if the player comes close they activate like Venus fly traps
Seeing as he hadn't left the Sierra Madre in 200 years, he would likely have no way of knowing. And very few things live in the Sierra Madre besides ghost people and the odd handful of radroaches here and there. I blame the cloud for this.
Speaking of unseen creatures in the fallout universe, im surprised we haven't seen any snakes. Rattlesnakes would be a thing in Nevada where New Vegas is set, but the only mention we get of a giant snake is with the Viper raiders who's backstory that was cut from fallout 2 was that they used to feed people to a Giant viper.
I recall hearing the odd rattle here and there as part of the background ambience in New Vegas but yeah, mutated snakes would be a very welcome addition.
"Clark says they are the size of dragonflies... What could it possibly be? I did extensive amounts of research on numerous bugs.... Anyways, its probably dragonflies."
As a substitute for giant 🐌 we've got hermit 🦀 in 76, which do the job quite nicely. And regarding octopi and the like, the floaters present in a few of the games do a decent job of filling in that particular gap. If there's something unique I'd like to see in the next game, or added to 76 considering fallout 5 is at least a decade away, it would be rhinoceros beatles the size of dogs, or even cows for that matter. They've recently added a mole rat bigger than a house in 76, so at this point I'm ready for anything.
Imagine spiders being added but instead of the radiation making them big it makes them swarm together and act as a single creature. If you try to cross gaps or get higher they just use themselves as bridges to reach you. A swarm of millions of spiders would be nightmare fuel
I think a huge issue for bugs would be the lack of oxygen would render them very small thus easy food for others and harder to get food. Only a few species grew to adapt larger despite the lack of oxygen. Just look at ancient insects and their environment. A sudden loss in oxygen due to vegetation loss and the changes after nuclear winter could really put their ability to survive very low
Visible light doesn't always mean electricity or a direct weapon. It could be a version of the lighting bug that creates lights through various chemicals as a way to signal others of the same species, or even as an indirect weapon as a way to disorient the animals they are hunting.
For as most attention you gave to fallout 4 water creatutes and mentioning in the beggining including creatures mentioned in environmental talk between npcs, you sure forgot to talk about the giant ghoul whale that 2 caravan guards talk about in fallout 4
@@Synonymous101 the story I'm talking about is about Ol' Peg. In Fallout 4 if you go to bunker hill, there's an encounter there where 2 caravan guards talk about Ol' Peg a blue ghoul whale (blue whale that is a ghoul). ...
@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger I know, and I never claimed it was, I simply mention how Ol' peg the Blue Ghoul Whale was left out of the video, when most of it was about water creatures
Got a new gun for Christmas, went out to the neighbors pond and started breaking her in. Not as cold as the past few days. Come home and get on my phone and see this treat. You're voice is fantastic, the quality of all your videos are superb. Non have been subpar. Merry Christmas And the mutated dragon flies thing you said, that's what I imaged reading Clarks terminal deals. Also again Merry Christmas
About the dragonflies, only when they’re young and living in the water do they have their labial mask that they can shoot out. Even then, they don’t scoop up food, and it functions the same as a chameleon or frog’s tongue. I guess it could be handwaived away with radiation and mutations, but I thought it would be interesting to bring up. Also, I think it would be weird if it was described as being the size of a dragonfly if it was just a dragonfly. I think a cooler and more “fallouty” answer would be something like a mutated firefly. While in real life their light isn’t produced by electricity, I think it would be cool if when their abdomens light up it creates an electric shock.
Giant spider are a bit cliche, even with the 50's futuristic setting. Movie monsters and all. But! I could see a Fallout version of a disturbingly mutated spider species fit in. Something of a cross between a centaur and arachnid, it would be horrible. Take that, arachnophobics!
I can only imagine how much research goes into these videos. I like the spider idea. I would definitely save the people unless I was just ruthlessly evil but any good or grey character would save them cause that'd be an awful way to go.
How about some owls of some sort. Maybe you could say the mothman is kinda similar to an owl, but it's a moth yo. Hence the name yeah? Platypus. Moose. Raccoons? Rattle snakes. Different kinds of snakes, poisonous and non-poisonous. What about giant barnacles that attack when you walk next to them, found close to shores and on boats, docks, piers, etc.
Stingwings are not dragonflies but mutated scorpionflies

Crickets have appeared in fallout 76 as cave crickets.
"House" Centipedes wouldn't have to be strong, nor even mutated at all, for them to be the most disturbing enemy in the entire series...

There's a whole quest that was cut out where you go to an under water vault after helping the Chinese guy fix his sub
@@Perroden ah thanks for that, good job I watched the video or I would never have known.
Probably a nod to that huge sperm whale who terrified the Romans for decades hundreds of years ago, near Constantinople.
I think instead of a "Blue Ghoul Whale" its a Beluga Whale
Cazadores are mutated tarantula hawks, which are wasps, basically a hornet’s brother. So yeah, we kind of have seen hornets, bud they’re terrifying.
The MOST terrifying in new vegas
@@exxiilledd naw it's the most terrifying thing in the franchise. Like they are still scary as hell even if I'm max level.

I always wondered why theres no spider enemies, but then I saw a mutated tarantula in Fallout New California and my body shivered
I haven’t seen it but can imagine it
Shit, in Skyrim VR I got attacked by a giant frostbite spider. Most stressful jumpscare ever!
Eight Legged Freaks!
Imagine a spider the size of a giant ant and ....one the size of the queen ant (Dear lord let us not see this)
The reosan is spiders can't really make webs once mutated, read about it
If we ever get an Arizonan fallout, I’d love to see a giant Gila Monster. Love those venomous little fellas.
And don't forget the rattle snakes

The Spiders and Centipedes would be awesome enemies.
If Bethesda ever implemented them, I would cease to use melee/unarmed builds. I’d invest all my caps into ammo for a sniper rifle.
Centipedes i might be able to handle, like the scorpions now. But spiders? I literally wont even play the game

I'd argue the fog crawler from far harbor applies. Not really enough monsters still, but the first time I saw one I felt my soul leave.
The bugs Randall Clark mentions could legit just be fireflies
No
Giant spiders in a Fallout game opposed to rats seems like a missed opportunity for some interesting level design
20 Leagues Under The Sea would've been a great dlc, similar to FarHarbor but completely in the vault
Sun light being turned to energy is literally a perk in fallout 4. That makes me want the next game to make more perks canon through mutations.

radiation affects spiders in funky ways. they aren't able to sow their webs anymore, they just become very bad at it.
Radiation also doesn't turn people into ghouls, normally you just get very sick and die.

I'm running a fallout table top RPG and this is giving me so many ideas for wasteland creatures. Thank you.
Giant Spiders
oh hell nah bruh i dont want no spiders in my fallout lmao
Damn I want that underwater vault and psychic octopus!
The pot of butterflies was a reference to the idiom of having butterflies in the stomach. Nothing to do with 1 or 2.
This is a good source of inspiration for a fallout tabletop
The glowing bug could be a mutated fire-fly or "lightning bug" that we haven't seen yet, it uses bioluminescence in real life but maybe in game it could emit a radiation burst type attack that glows.
Tracks that there are no dragonfly in the universe yet. They are a keystone species that indicate good water quality
Hornets can also scoop up their prey. I've seen a Cicada Killer carry an entire Cicada up a tree and then glide back to its nest.
That's terrifying
Ive always figured that the Commonwealth Stingwing was a dragonfly relative
Everybody gangsta until the mutated spiders come a’runnin.
carnivorous plants would be very interesting.

I'm probably wrong, but I thought I remember seeing starfish as part of shore clutter in Fallout 4 along with the fish heads, barnacles, etc.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Syn!
Imagine a giant mutated boar that could throw you around in power armor like a ragdoll.
Syn, I think you went down a rabbit hole with the insect mouth research. Good work though!
Absolutely smashed it, Synonymous. A belated Merry Christmas to you, and a wish for a very happy new year. Stay awesome.
I think having starfish esc traps would be pretty cool, like near the beach there are huge player sized ones that make there skin look like the surroundings then if the player comes close they activate like Venus fly traps
Frogs in Fallout 76 also seem to conduct some form of electricity ( it also drops uranium on death)
Dude your videos are literally the greatest hope you go far I’m here for the ride🔥✌🏻🐐
Dean Domino also has dialogue referencing hornets, implying them to be extinct. Although, this could just be an assumption on his part.

The floating octopodes in Fallout 76 most likely refer to Floaters, which look like alien helmets as the holotapes describe.
Came here for fallout lore instead learned that there is a photosynthetic wasp very cool
Big miss in FNV. Perfect timing to put in sand worms.
I do hope we get to see some of these creatures in upcoming titles or even as add-ons for older games great video buddy keep up the great work!
"Clark says they are the size of dragonflies... What could it possibly be? I did extensive amounts of research on numerous bugs.... Anyways, its probably dragonflies."
As a substitute for giant 🐌 we've got hermit 🦀 in 76, which do the job quite nicely. And regarding octopi and the like, the floaters present in a few of the games do a decent job of filling in that particular gap.
If there's something unique I'd like to see in the next game, or added to 76 considering fallout 5 is at least a decade away, it would be rhinoceros beatles the size of dogs, or even cows for that matter. They've recently added a mole rat bigger than a house in 76, so at this point I'm ready for anything.
That is one thing 76 has been great at, just adding more and more monsters
Isn't that the hermit crab in a bus?
That is correct, there's always one up the road from the valley galleria, in the mire.
@@knolty Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we got the hermit crabs in the Fallout 4 Far harbor DLC back in 2016, a few years before 76 was released?
@@Princess_Celestia_ that's correct, I was using 76 as a reference cause it's the latest release
Imagine spiders being added but instead of the radiation making them big it makes them swarm together and act as a single creature. If you try to cross gaps or get higher they just use themselves as bridges to reach you. A swarm of millions of spiders would be nightmare fuel
lmfao the dedication in these videos
I think a huge issue for bugs would be the lack of oxygen would render them very small thus easy food for others and harder to get food. Only a few species grew to adapt larger despite the lack of oxygen. Just look at ancient insects and their environment. A sudden loss in oxygen due to vegetation loss and the changes after nuclear winter could really put their ability to survive very low
Visible light doesn't always mean electricity or a direct weapon. It could be a version of the lighting bug that creates lights through various chemicals as a way to signal others of the same species, or even as an indirect weapon as a way to disorient the animals they are hunting.
For as most attention you gave to fallout 4 water creatutes and mentioning in the beggining including creatures mentioned in environmental talk between npcs, you sure forgot to talk about the giant ghoul whale that 2 caravan guards talk about in fallout 4
When did whales become invertebrates?
@@Synonymous101 the story I'm talking about is about Ol' Peg. In Fallout 4 if you go to bunker hill, there's an encounter there where 2 caravan guards talk about Ol' Peg a blue ghoul whale (blue whale that is a ghoul).
...
@@MSTavares Not an invertebrate though.
@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger I know, and I never claimed it was, I simply mention how Ol' peg the Blue Ghoul Whale was left out of the video, when most of it was about water creatures
Gotta say a fallout set in Florida or Louisiana would be insane in terms of creatures
Got a new gun for Christmas, went out to the neighbors pond and started breaking her in. Not as cold as the past few days.
Come home and get on my phone and see this treat.
You're voice is fantastic, the quality of all your videos are superb. Non have been subpar. Merry Christmas
And the mutated dragon flies thing you said, that's what I imaged reading Clarks terminal deals.
Also again Merry Christmas
Disappointed you didn't mention whatever is biting those mutant dolphins that keep washing up
They're not invertebrates
About the dragonflies, only when they’re young and living in the water do they have their labial mask that they can shoot out. Even then, they don’t scoop up food, and it functions the same as a chameleon or frog’s tongue. I guess it could be handwaived away with radiation and mutations, but I thought it would be interesting to bring up. Also, I think it would be weird if it was described as being the size of a dragonfly if it was just a dragonfly. I think a cooler and more “fallouty” answer would be something like a mutated firefly. While in real life their light isn’t produced by electricity, I think it would be cool if when their abdomens light up it creates an electric shock.
Happy holiday season from all of us at ThomYa productions
Lol I just watched your most recent video again like 20 mins ago thanks for the Christmas gift
2:50- Fallout’s cool and all but *REAL LIFE SOLAR POWERED HORNETS*
Centipedes in the Wastelands would be nightmare fuel.
I think that the giant octopus could've been repurposed for the far harbor DlC with a more Cthulhu type appearance
I'm surprised they haven't leaned into using more bugs ESPECIALLY Spider. There is so much potential there.
Merry Christmas!
Giant spider are a bit cliche, even with the 50's futuristic setting. Movie monsters and all. But! I could see a Fallout version of a disturbingly mutated spider species fit in. Something of a cross between a centaur and arachnid, it would be horrible. Take that, arachnophobics!
That's a drider, and... one of the more common monster girls.
I can only imagine how much research goes into these videos. I like the spider idea. I would definitely save the people unless I was just ruthlessly evil but any good or grey character would save them cause that'd be an awful way to go.
How about some owls of some sort. Maybe you could say the mothman is kinda similar to an owl, but it's a moth yo. Hence the name yeah?
Platypus. Moose. Raccoons? Rattle snakes. Different kinds of snakes, poisonous and non-poisonous. What about giant barnacles that attack when you walk next to them, found close to shores and on boats, docks, piers, etc.
