Deathclaws, what are they?

[abu aljins]

I've asked many questions, but now its just a "theory", you could call it. What do you think the Deathclaw was before the war? before it got mutated?

[GriffinTheGreat]

Has to be an iguana. You find bits and pieces of them but never see them.

[Paddy the Daddy]

They were a pre-war military experiment, made from jacksons chameleons (and spliced with the DNA of a bunch of other creatures).
They were later improved upon by the Master in Fallout 1, with the use of FEV.

Says Jackson's chameleon in the wiki.... (Trioceros jacksonii)

a statement made in FO2, but there are many things that show it cant be true. The chameleon has 3 horns while the Deatclaw only has 2. the deathclaw lays eggs, the chameleon doesn't

Uhm, chameleons lay eggs.

Jacksons chameleons dont, please be specific.
There is a good chance this is a mistake the original creator made.

I always thought that deathclaws don't live up to all the scary stories told about them. They're just giant lizards. Bloatflies and radscorpions scared me more when I first encountered them. Even a group of ghouls seems a more intimidating encounter to me.

In Fallout 4, deathclaws are somewhat slower and more ponderous, instead of the rapid death machines that they were before. It's much easier now to stay at a distance or escape them in close quarters; their size seems to hinder them more than it did in the past.

Most chameleons are oviparous, but Jackson's chameleon gives birth to offspring soon before they are ready to hatch from their egg sac;

Deathclaws are mutated pre-war mothers in law.

It's a chimera, likely a version of some animal mash-up a mad scientist came up with while creating a super-mutant animal for use against the Chinese. Considering there aren't very many of them, one can presume that they don't breed much and lay few eggs, fewer still of which develop into full-grown adults. Otherwise, the super mutants would have been kibble a long time ago.

Or, maybe Diablo jumped games and had kiddies.

Good answer.

I often thought they were symbolic of the devil we created by the scientific and military paths we (as humans) chose.

Maybe ... except Godzilla was actually kinda cute.

Not anymore he isn't.

Btw, there was actually a cut-content monster in New Vegas that was actually named "Gojira" (which is the Japanese name for Godzilla).

[abu aljins]

I believe Gojira is just Gorilla and Kujira combined , Kujira is the word "whale" in Japanese (it's very possible, considering the fact the Godzilla came out of the sea).
But i don't think the Deathclaw was based off the Godzilla, because the very first concept art for the Deathclaw was more of a wolf-monkey thing, but modeling a body covered with furr was near impossible back then, when the first fallout game was released.
