What are Deathclaws? Fallout 4 Theories and Lore

- Fallout 4 has a lot of mysteries and secrets. One of the greater ones is in regards to a question surronding a particular creature: What are Deathclaws?
Deathclaws:
One of the most feared creatures in the Commonwealth. The Deathclaw. Coming in a variety of types. Alpha Deathclaws, Glowing Deathclaws, Deathclaw Matriarch's, Savage Deathclaws, Quantum Deathclaws. Albino Deathclaws, Chameleon Deathclaws, and finally Mythic Deathclaws. So much variety. But they also vary from those that we have seen before in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, which we shall also talk about today. Along with other topics on them.
I hope you enjoy the episode :)

So at long last, here it is. Deathclaws. I have put this video off, but I hope it was worth the wait. Any extra support on this one would be great :) As always, feedback and suggestions are appreciated and welcome :)
thenthapple can you do a video on wisps and wispmothers?
thenthapple hey for the albinos. to have a albino is a bad genetic gene. but it can happen to Mammals. but for a albino to happen it has to be a mutation.
thenthapple can you do a video on Fog Crawlers ? ( if you haven't already)
There is actually a purpose to removing the tail. Much with all large semi-bipedal creatures, the tail is used to balance them. Removing the tail does actually impair their ability to run.
there some that can go invisible like the nightstalkers, however those ones are rare since in five playthroughs I only incounter it one and fucking me
my first victim with the minigun was preston
Treetalk lies
Why did you even lose time with those losers?, Just jump from the church to the vertibird tail when Preston and the raiders are shooting each other. Take the power armor and the minigun jump down and go have real adventures.
He wont talk to you while he is fighting, so that annoying quest will never start and after killing the some raiders himself he will enter the museum to never show his face again. If you feel like starting the quest, not sure why?, you only have to enter the museum and the quest will start normally.
AND of course as I play the whole game not killing a single Deathclaw, being force to kill a poor Dinosaur to save a bunch of losers was something inconceivable for me :].
Treetalk same
Treetalk that's me
Treetalk 😐
Just a note about the Chameleon Deathclaws. The Jackson Chameleon and I'm pretty sure all species of Chameleon do not and cannot change colour based on surroundings, they change colour quickly depending on mood, health, and temperature.
egorgeg but evolution said deathclaws should be able to do that
would explain why it turns red when it attacks sometimes
egorgeg some do basic camouflage by maintaining darker colors at night. and desert chameleons turn black at dawn and dusk, to absorb more heat, and they change to white when the sun is strong, to reflect heat.
It felt sneaky
All chameleons do that 🐊
How I beat deathclaws in fallout new vegas:
Find Deathclaw
Shoot flare at the deathclaw
Run away
Shawn Parra Flares scare abomination.
How I beat them
Stealth
Sneak critical with Anti-Material rifle from afar
Pray that it one hit kills it
XD
Cole Cash this is how I beat deathclaws
Get ambushed by one
Runaway futilely
Throw every mine and grenade I have
Stimpack
Stimpack
Stimpack
Stimpack
Stimpack
Use useless pipe weapon
Stimpack
Stimpack
Stimpack
Stimpack
Get really tired of using pipe weapon and simply use fat man to blow up the deathclaw
Profit!
Sell deathclaw hand for 10 caps
Yeah I usually have to run pretty far away to use a mine because I kept making a mistake of using a bottlecap mine too close and wound up blowing myself up too in the process lol
TheMattew777 i take them all on had to head no runnin just use fist of the north rawr and you good
As ferocious as deathclaws are they are not as annoying as czadors
Cazadors are easy if you shoot the wings.
Pepper Millers if I remember rightly I was shooting at the wings with a heavy duty shotgun and they still killed me
Twiggymaster666 This Machine is a good weapon to use against their wings.
Twiggymaster666 though bloatsflys do like no damage to you holy shit there fucking annoying when they go stantly dodge you bullets and shoot there larva at you
Twiggymaster666 i had to use my entire alien blaster mag on one
I thought deathclaws were the combination of the beauty of a lizard, the size of a bear, and the ferocity and strength of a plunger.
Red Jelly oh god don't remind me of the plunger room please.😕
Jodie Fox find one of thenthapple's videos you'll see what I mean.
IhAsprOffile4me mEh where the plunger killed a man?
Jodie Fox to be a little more specific it was either a fallout 3 or fallout New Vegas video.
A Kid In Africa that and the walls and ceiling were covered in plungers.Very unsettling if you ask me.😕
Dodge, duck, dive and dodge.
If you can dodge a deathclaw you can dodge a ball
Gavin Seery do you think they had patches throwing spanners at them to learn those moves
Gavin Seery do you think they had patches throwing spanners at them to learn those moves
HAHA NICE
Gavin Seery just keep jumping
Hahaha
I'd say if a deathclaw can dodge a wrench they should be able to dodge a mini nuke...
What?
It was my own play on a dodge ball reference
John The Punisher Dont worry, I got it and got a good laugh out of it! :)
All my eggs bring the boys to the nests and they're like - it's bigger than yours, damn right - they're bigger than yours, take one then I'm gonna have to charge!
😆👍
*Sees deathclaw for the first time in Fallout nee vegas*
"Oh this'll be easy based on fallout 3"
*Approachs deathclaw and takes a shot*
*jack shit happens and I just piss it off*
"ahahahahhahah....fuck..."
*43 seconds later I've become the deathclaws next meal*
808 AMV that's what you get you weeb
808 AMV the NV ones were brutal...
it doesn't help there is always more than 2 when u fight them in new vegas
stereotypical weeb elitism in progress, somebody call a death squad.
I remember meeting the Cazadors in a similar way.
*sees baby Cazadors*
OH shit, its those Cazadors I heard about! Better use my granede launcher.
*kills both*
Huh....that was easy.
*adult Cazador shows up*
Bring it on!
*dies in 2-3 hits*
....oh. So that's a Cazador.
Argonians on steroids.
Great Khans would definitely work well with Khajiit to combine Skooma and Psycho, Buffout and Moon Sugar.
Dr Mobius jesus Christ what images have you put in my head
dragons
an-xileel created deathclaws
Borat Sagdiyev no lizards on steriods
YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE, FOOL
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ
meme machine xp OOOOOOOWHHHH MAAAAAAH DOOOAAAWGG WASUUUUUUP?
meme machine xp I'll have 2 number 9's
EY! EYEYE It's me, Carl. Chill! Chill!
No... this is my house so get the fuck out
Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge. The five D's of Deathclaws. :)
Quite XD
why does it say dodge twice?
Epic Emz Because much like Gohan you don't hear that part the first time xD
Just noticed the raptor-esque foot claw that Deatchclaws have, thanks to you. They also 'click' on the ground, just like they did in the original Jurassic Park. Love the attention to detail in both Fallout 4 and your videos!
Much love from Germany

Niall Hughes I thought I escaped math on the internet bro
I LOVE YOU You will never escape. never...
Niall Hughes "NOOOOOOO"
"dare I say swole" I laughed so hard got to love this guy
I would ride a deathclaw if I could. Forget horse racing. Deathclaw racing is where it's at assuming that they don't try to kill the riders first.
FrankieLasVegas Or eachother for that matter
i just thought of a cruel and brilliant idea...deathclaw races...spaced apart enough,with those who've comitted crimes in your minute man/raider settlements used as bait for the deathclaws,y'know,like the use a fake rabbit for dog racing? live bait for deathclaw racing,bloodsport and race all in one. glorious.
So you wanna ride a deathclaw (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I stopped watching my drama video halfway as soon as I saw my notification. I love your videos on the creatures in fallout!
Carolina Felix k
tankdog brotherhood of still for life where the hell did that come from? -.-
tankdog brotherhood of still for life I'm done. Let someone else deal with this mess.
Y'all ain't funny fucking with a girl like this kinda disturbing
Carolina Felix welcome to the TH-cam community
2006 / 2017
i fought quantum deathclaws, but they did get taken out after the first update for nukaworld
any reason why?
Me to
did you know you can tickle dwathclaws in fallout 4 to make them docile and will follow you? you have to sneak up and tickle their belly.
Instructions unclear, legs are gone.
No
I did not know
Did you know I read this comment drunk 2 years ago and meant to comment. I can't remember what I was gonna say but coming back to this video 2 years later. I definitely remember wanting to say something 🤔🤷♂️😂
First encounter with a Deathclaw in Fallout 3: Heh, it looks like a little imp. I'm gonna shoot it. *bang* Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! This was a bad idea!
Not as bad ou first encoutner with supermutants, "Those loke like big targets." Bang "It didn't die, oh shit it's got a minigun"
Your voice still sounds like velvet to my ears... Good review; in depth, broad selection of subjects, and as such, reasonable variance in results...
Glad you liked it
You should do bloodbugs!
you mean the giant fucking misquitoes?
Spencer Bowler They're just enlarged mosquitoes.
That's literally all there is to it.
Spencer Bowler hell yeah PC principle
XxswegMLGM8xX 2 Fast 4 U Did you just misspell his name? You can't mock people with dyslexia Brody!!!!
Isn't that kinda kinky?
I think it would have been a great feature if the friendly deathclaw would randomly appear and help you in a fight after bringing the egg back
If they spot someone attacking you theyll show up, but you have to be in range of them
Maybe triggered by you going below 10% health. Would have been awesome you are about to go down and you ehar a roar and think of shit i'm screwed only for it to vats as firendly and tear your enemies to shreds.
You're one of the reasons I bought fo4, had it for two days now and it's great.
Glad you like it
Golden Age do you still play it? I got bored in about 2 months
The ones In Fallout 4 are pushovers, the ones in New Vegas are the true Monsters of the Wasteland.
They fucked you up back then
I still have the flashbacks.
Daniel Blaze I played dust for fallout New Vegas...got my shit kicked in by at least 4 death claws within less than a hour of when I started
I have been missing, the intelligent, talking deathclaws.. The deathclaws, that just want to live their life's in peace :/
It was in Fallout 2, you met a vault, filled with death claws.. Just as you think, "Oh darn, im so dead now.." The biggest deathclaw, starts talking with you.. Telling you, among other things, that they are the result, of Enclave scientists, using the FEV virus, on a special type of lizard, the goal, was to make a new type of super soldier, to combat the super mutants of the wasteland.. They are infact, highly intelligent, and quite capable, of individual thoughts and deciding for them selves.. You also learn, that most of them, simply see humans, as beeing an inferior race, and seeing as the humans always fear them, and stay away from them, for beeing monsters, they might as well live the role, as a monster...
But I guess, Beth didnt really play the game, before they took over the franchise...
You actually meet, a few of the Enclave Deathclaws, highly intelligent, wearing speciallized power armor, and utilizing, the claws, for weapons... I wish, the original Deathclaws, could return, at some point :)
Kim Lynge Lore says the talking deathclaws were eradicated by the Enclave.
These commas confused me so hard
*+Kim Lynge* I REALLY hope Goris comes back in a future Fallout game. It is possible for him to survive, and if Fallout Tactics to be believed, intelligent deathclaws have even joined the Brotherhood of Steel. If they set the next game in New Orleans, we could just see some of the Midwest chapter of the Brotherhood travel south via the Mississippi River, and voila! Intelligent deathclaws.
Silver Scale You know Goris is probably dead by the time of New Vegas.
What is with all the commas?
thank you for covering both Skyrim and Fallout 4 your videos are always of the highest quality and your voice is on par with that of the gods
It's kind of unnerving when the friendly one is looking at you because it's well looking at you and that's horrifying.
So one time I took a shit in the glowing sea and a deathclaw ate it. That's how I got my pet Deathclaw.
The Bimmy Most underrated comment
Nigeria xD Eh, I thought it was a shitty joke.
What
I remember in your old deathclaw video for New VegS you said "Thank God they don't have chameleon abilities" xD
Was so fucking wrong
An amazing video Apple, couldn't have been more calming and beautiful.
I'm so happy you're still making videos! Thank you.
Deathclaw experiences through the years in a phrase:
Fallout New Vegas: surprise gang rape
Fallout 2: let companions handle it.
Fallout: unexpected rage quit
Fallout 3: hard till level 20
Fallout 4: bullet sponge
I always assumed that the jackass that made the deathclaw's used, chameleon and other reptile/amphibian , plus mammal Probably canines and bears since I'm positive I've seen these guys have identical colorations to said animals. That could explain why it has some pack like tendencies and a weird reptile/canine like face with the mammalian nose, also the huge fucking claws. I also think human or some other primates DNA was implemented as well because of its bipedal stance and the military probably wanted a somewhat smart creature. Also goat for shits and giggles.
Loup Blanc if you look at the original deathclaws from the original fallout series, you'll see that they have fur so you may be on to something...
It would make sense for it to have at least dog DNA in there because the military obviously wanted something dangerous but controllable and the only animal we truly formed a relationship with are canines. Also like I said in the upper comment its weird how it has a mammalian nose that "in its idle animation" uses to smell unlike reptiles that usually uses there tongue . Hell this thing has a snake tongue but still uses a "complex" nose to locate stuff.
Another amazing video as always, Thank you so much for all the work you do for all of us!
Love your videos Enth! I'll regularly binge-rewatch your playlists 😍
The Matriarch's scales represent more suitable for camouflage. Kinda like how in birds and lizards, the males will develop more bright colors to impress the females while the females will become more dull in color to blend in with it surroundings. It's typically found with those specifics because they stay with the eggs. I can imagine the red in the scales for Alpha is more for prominent and dominant colors to show off his authority. The colors of Mallard ducks are perfect example for the difference in colors and reasons for it as well.
Deathclaws: prewar bio weapons created by genetically modifying a Jackson chameleon
watching some of your old videos and i can tell you've improved
Always great, you never let me down with Fallout lore
Deathclaws are scary jackson chamelions mixed with everything under the sun, nuff said
finally ! been waiting so well , watching your older videos that I missed ! man your my fav and I'm 21 😏
Dopest Canadian "im 21" is relevant why?
Bob Skywalker it shows that older people watch him, he's Literally my bed time Videos 😏 such a good channel
Dopest Canadian I have been watching his videos for about 2 years now. I've seen every lore video he has ever made
I wish he'd make more.. But he's got damn good content.
Tax Tic agree! he's really good , he just goes into details ! he's my bed time TH-camr :D
My favorite content creators are the ones who post infrequently but make good videos each time. Keep doing you ThenApple.
Your lore videos for Fallout creatures is great.
Dat posture tho...
I could love deathclaws but I only see them as друг
It's been a long time since I've seen your videos (new channel, lost track of subscriptions), but I'm genuinely happy to see you're still making Fallout content. I always learn something new from your videos.
Glad you still like them
Even with an illness, your narration is still great to listen to!
*"Kermit the frog here"*
I miss the Enclave.
same
thenthapple I don't miss enclave
Then I think about their propaganda radio...
FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Being honest, it's been awhile since I've checked up on your channel, but to see it grow makes me happy for you man. Keep up the good work.
I will try
i have been wating for a new fallout video!! Keep it up man
First of all, wonderful voice!
Second of all, did you do a video on quarry junction or black mountain, if you did could you give me a link? and if you didn't, please do!
*cough* or maybe you could do some more fallout new vegas lore thingys, *cough cough*
That is interesting, I never knew there was a non-hostile Deathclaw until now. Now I want try to find it... And give it a hug >X-]
this was quite nice and worth the wait
I love these videos, thanks for uploading a new one :)
You're welcome

WTF LAST TIME I SAW A VID FROM U YOUR CHANNEL ONLY HAD 53K SUBS?????!!!
Been a long road
thenthapple thank you for replying
I wish that you could get that one friendly deathclaw as a companion. It'd be badass.
Great video man!!! :) deathclaws are my favorite enemy in the fallout games.
I killed a deathclaw with a powerfist.
Talk about Powerfisting.
One Punch coming
I killed a legendary deathclaw with a super sledge. Fight me.

Nice vid bud, glad to see that you are back!
I never left?
Started watching your videos, love them- got yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the awesome work bud!

Good work as always. A nice companion piece to the first Deathclaw video. Natick was the first place I ever saw an Albino Deathclaw. Saw him from a distance and it scared the shit out of me. The big bastard was just standing on a rock like he owned it. I introduced him to my Gauss Rifle. He didn't like it. Also, every Chameleon Deathclaw I've killed has turned dark red after it died. It would actually be scarier if it stayed that color.
Awesome video as always!
How the hell did you manage to pronounce chameleon two different ways?
on purpose
Друr
Awesome video. I think we can all agree that apple here deserves well over 1 million subs. Thanks for making these videos and being dedicated to your work. :)
Thanks for that video Vaati from Fallout
I hate Deathclaws
NerbyIs Here thanks for sharing
Monkeymandeen Pro I hate mirelurks
I hate BOS Plebs
cheesecake, I love cheesecake
i love how relaxing your voice is
I like how you first get introduced to the Deathclaw in Fallout by Harold, and how there is a mythology around them even at that point as he says that you can't look at they eyes, or they'll hypnotise you. At the level you first take it on, it can take the Vault Dweller plus several companions to defeat it, and you are left with a feeling of how badass you are for just killing the mythical Deathclaw! Then, a bit later on, you get asked to go take out a nest of them in one go...
The deathclaws in fallout 4 are definitely my favorites. Thanks Thenthapple!
You are welcome
love the vids man good work
Brilliant video. You have my vote when sir David Attenborough sadly passes
Plot twist: they’re snapping turtles. Look at the armor on its back, at least Fo4 versions. Take an average Mud Dragon Snapping Turtle and how aggressive it is, now picture radiation fusing it’s shell to its back and mutating to grow spikes. With the armor infused, turtles can focus on staying more out of shell and walking along with that aggressiveness, you have a deathclaws.
Good stuff. Man youre voice, you oughta be on the radio or a podcast
genial, muy buen trabajo, eres de lo mejor, tienes mucho talento, nunca cambies :3
hi.. hopefully you see this !! I absolutely love your videos !!! they're something I can just chill out and listen to, especially your awesome voice. thank you so much for covering fallout lore/skyrim lore. youre the best - faye
Glad you like the videos :)
I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion of the mythic deathclaw. I really wish they would've done something spectacular with a title like that.
*I LOVE 'EM SO MUCH*
And the FO4 ones are my Favorites~
(laughs in Fallout 4 Melee Power Armor build)
(cracks knuckles and draws sword)
"Time to make some Deathclaw Steaks!" -proceeds to kill any Deathclaw that isn't smart enough to run away-
I really love the deathclaw's design in this game.
You need more of these species videos
idk if you've ever tried this but like before all the dlc for this game you could console command script up to like 3 npcs to become active followers. Using deathclaws (not sure if they fixed this) resulted in total chaos everytime you entered a town.
sounds awesome
Lol, loved that dodgeball reference. "Dodge duck dip dive and... dodge!"
The first time I played fallout, I played fallout 3 and accidentally stumbled upon old Olney.
You can imagine how that went.
Thentheapple is the history channel of fallout
I'll always enjoy a gander on monsters with the Nth Apple, even with Deathclaws.
I'm lovin' the quantum deathclaw over here
Glad someone else finally mentioned that those hellspawns can throw cars.! No one ever believes me.
I'll never forget my first time playing Fallout 3, no idea where the hell I was but I do remember being max level with some sweet Power Armour, just casually walking around fucking shit up when out of NOWHERE I get jumped by 3 of these absolute monstrosities! Tore me apart immediately and I never went back to that area
I'd like to see a video on the nukes cola girl from 3 and nuka world dlc only cuz she's in two games and you can use them both regardless always awesome vids thank you
Once during a settlement attack, I saw a deathclaw pick up a settler while digging his claws into his head then throw him aside... only for the settler to get back up a moment later. Gotta love essential or half-essential NPCs.
8:28 My sister started playing Wario's mine in the other room and the music fits perfectly for running away from a Death Claw
something about the smoother animations of fo4's deathclaws makes them significantly less intimidating
the rigid, janky animations used for 3/NV made deathclaws terrifying, since they make a mad dash at you, holding out their arms like they want to give you a hug that would result in you being crushed like a watermelon under a hydraulic press or skewered across their hands like a sample platter at a grocery store
but because of their fluid movement and the fact they learned the 5 D's of dodge ball I usually need to use my entire Minigun or Gatling Laser ammo unless I can get the drop on them
The 5 Ds of Deathclaws dodge dive dip duck and dodge! I love this channel
