Fallout 3 (Van Buren)/Creatures

Creatures
Models for several unused creatures exist in the Van Buren tech demo. They are described below.

Ant


Your average post-apocalyptic and very large ant.

Ant Queen


An oversized Ant Queen. Would probably either be a boss character or a high-level enemy.

Bat


Even bats aren't safe from 50's-style evil radiation.

Badger


A texture for a badger can be found in the game's files, but there is no model for it. It is unknown if badgers would've been an enemy or a harmless critter.

Beetle


Guess.

Centipede


A centipede, but its skin doesn't load. There are multiple skins for it, showing that it was going to appear in a variety of colors.

Cougar


One of the random wildlife you would run into would be a Cougar.

Cow


There is a model for a cow in the game's files. What's unusual about this cow is that it has one head, which every other Fallout game uses a two-headed cow called the Brahmin.

Deathclaw


Everyone's favorite endgame badass monster would be in Van Buren as well. Of note is that this model is the later model, not the earlier one.

Desert Stalker


The Desert Stalker would have been an overgrown Antlion.

Ghoul


Where there is no Ghoul-specific model, there is a texture sheet called “CR_zombie_default_LG.tga” that looks a lot like a Ghoul. Since “zombie” is a term for Ghouls, it's likely that the sheet is for a Ghoul character.

Gila Monster


Hey, another large animal!

Venus Mantrap


An overgrown plant that would probably act like a Venus Flytrap. This poor creature was cut from Fallout 2 and was then scrapped when Van Buren was canceled.

Rad Toad


A mutated toad.

Rat


A Fallout game isn't complete with cannon-fodder enemies!

Sheep


A texture for sheep can be found in the game's files, but there's no correspondent model.

Thorn Slinger


The Thorn Slinger would be another evil plant that would attack the player. It would probably throw projectiles at the player.

Wasp


One last “oversized normal animal” for the road.

Weedling


The Weedling is a bipedal plant.

Wolf


Textures for a Wolf enemy can be found in the game's files, but there is no model associated with it, much to the dismay of wolf lovers across the world.
