#Oxhorn #Fallout #Fallout76 - เกม
There were two different stars: The 5-pointed barn star, and the seven-pointed star. Both came from German-American immigrants, both were placed on barns, and both warded off evil spirits, but it looks like only the seven-pointed star was specifically used to ward off the snallygaster. So Beverly Soloman was right in her holotape. They do have seven-pointed stars in Fallout 76. They are more colorful and almost look like quilt patterns.
Hmmm I saw the stars and my mind couldn't think of anything else but a Mr gutsy shouting "ready to die for your country you commie bastard" 🤣
Look up Ketzu that how hey look but mutated
Oxhorn Please do a video on the Mole Miners and their connections to the mining companies and why they always seems to have children’s toys and cry out “mother”?
Hi Oxhorn! Huge fan of your vids but i've a question, howd the queen of the hunt work for u cause it's only worked for me 3 times till it never worked again. Has that ever happened in your games?
Can you do a mothman one
Oxhorn sees any abomination: Take pictures
Abomination: charges
Oxhorn: keeps taking pictures
Kinda sus doe
Man puts the job first.
@@chimpgaming8290 Why does translating what you say just make the ‘K’ a lowercase?
power armor is a hell of a drug
Man's got ambition.
Teddy Roosevelt: *exists *
Snallygasters: “why do we hear boss music?”
Literally any cryptid: “Why do we hear boss music?”
Theodore Roosevelt is a little bitch and he could never catch the Snallygaster.
Only thing that can catch a Snallygaster is alchohol.
*They like it.*
Teddy: ( laughs in president)
@@firetarrasque4667 ok millennial
@@firetarrasque4667 The only reason you said that about Theodore Roosevelt is because he's dead and can't beat the shit out of you. That man is beyond tough.
Literally any living thing: *Gets discovered*
US Government: What is that and how do we mutate it!?
This guy gets it.
Any government* but yeah
Jason M just in the Fallout universe we can say the U.S for sure
US Scientists : Let's put some FEV in it.
FTFY:
Literally any l̶i̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ thing: *Gets discovered*
US Government: What is that and how do we m̶u̶t̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶use it to commit war crimes?!
7:25
Wow so as the Snallyghaster dies it creates a mini hologram of Iowa
Alaska 😁
but why
Read this in moira Brown's voice.
Is that a bug or a feature?
Bethesda: yes.
Who are you?
what if Vault tec wasn't creating new animals but re-creating legendary creatures on purpose
I kind of feel like they stumbled across a kind of magic potion* in FEV. Like, it kills most stuff but turns survivors into monsters from legend.
*Not literal magic.
Sounds like they were making bioweapons that could survive the atomic fallout to clear away everyone left after the bombs dropped.
K K I'm feeling the fev is indeed that genetic whatzit that in our world has long disappeared along with the mythics they were part of. In the fallout universe it was somehow discovered and considered a virus because of its transformative property. Orcs, snallygaster, molemen, wendigo(not sure I spelled that correctly). So yeah I totally agree!
That would be an interesting experiment, seeing how the survivors react to legendary creatures. How well would they handle seeing these creatures, would they go insane or try to rationalize what they saw? Would they start worshiping the creatures, or try to hunt them down?
I think these creatures simply existed, but were extremely rare. We've never seen mutants like this before, with FEV or without.
Its so sad the these everyday people where being transformed into stuff of nightmares, the wendigo, the grafton monster, the snallygaster, all once human beings
Spencer Dosh yeah it’s very disturbing that the snallygaster was human
Yeah, after discovering what happened at Hunterville.... I feel sorry and sympathy to the townspeople, adults, children, elderly. Westek is a horrible company.
@@CharlyG83 Well, at least the biological division
The sadder part is that this overgrown fucking newt is being called a Snallygaster.
That is not a goddamn Snallygaster, that is an eel with legs.
It doesn't even have *wings.*
@Not a weeb the saddest part is that you life seems to be so sad and empty that you have the urge to shittalk people on the internet :D
I feel like a Snallygaster is just a variation of a Centaur
Wreck Wrack I thought that to
Chimera?
@@animenut69 Would fit in the catatgorie. chimera after all are mixed creatures.
no no no the snallygaster is not cute like the centaur
Just a bit creepiness added to it
Me: Lives in Delaware right next to Maryland.
Also me: I just remembered that we have a massive metal 5 pointed star on the front of our house.
*run or start hailing russia*
@@tinybionic8940 yes
Curly Lapis cheeki breeki
In Fallout 76, instead of super mutant hounds, snallygasters should have accompanied super mutants. Would have that supermutant/centaur vibe in fallout 3/NV
Great idea, I agree.
Im curious of what animals make up a snallygaster, kinda like how the deathclaw comes from the Jackson chameleon
@@AlbertusSalvatierra just like the centaur, it is all completely human. FEV just messed them up really badly, haha.
erik sand woops, my bad- I thought that because the terminal said something about it resembling several species.
@@eriksand9262 info where?
Dude every new creature in 76 is so amazing, they never fail to make creepy monsters. Also I always thought that the red stars were showing hidden communists in the fallout universe
Soviet union anthem plays lol
Oxhorn, if Bethesda should deem it necessary to create a Fallout Museum, you would make the perfect Curator and I would be thrilled to visit it 👍👌👍
Oxhorn the Storyteller
@@masters-senpai7657 There's already a fallout story teller
@@EveryoneElseIsWeirdImNormal i know
@@masters-senpai7657 no oxhorn the lore master. Has a better ring to it if you ask me.
Indeed. He has done good with the series being its staple lore master.
Hearing you seriously say "bogus" is funnier than it should be
1:03 actually,the description sounds more like a cockatrice.The description of a bird with reptile and dragon like features makes sense
My 4ts to
The cockatrice turns things into stone
@@thewendigowithwifi3739 yes.But im referring the description of “dragon like wings with claws at the end,covered in fur and the Long reptilian tail”
If you look at a picture of the Piasa bird it is similar to a cockatrice or a Griffin!
@@lt_darkseekerantique3911 ya id agree but almost all cultures have dragons or reptile bird monsters
My grandmother called them snollygosters, with “o’s” instead of “a’s”. She used to tell us when we were kids that the Snollygoster would get us if we weren’t good.
Sounds like a local accent thing. I've heard people pronounce "wash" as "Warsh."
Well did it get you or what?
@@wolfehoffmann2697 The white half of my family is from Virginia and they have those weird accents. "Warsh" instead of "wash", "hoursh" instead of "house", "awl" instead of "oil", etc lol
I think the most likely answer is that the original sightings were mistaken identities/hoaxes, and that the creatures created were based on the radio plays, when making a new species you would need some kind of idea of what you want to create and whoever decision it was was a fan of said plays.
Since there were plans for human interactions they most likely based it off those plays so that they could pass any real sighting off as people with over active imaginations.
Interesting lore as always, my only comment is 500 lbs. of Dynamite!? For one still, even at the size of 2500 gal. is where the story pegs the meter. Minimum safe outside distance for that large of a detonation is 1500ft. and since most stills were the woods, that's a lot of shrapnel in the air, along with the possible ignition (depending on the actual Proof of the moonshine).
Plus, that's about 25 cases of dynamite for two Revenue Agents to be transporting and carrying though the woods.
Not blaming you OX, just whoever originally told this whooper! Then again, never let the facts get in the way of a good story! LOL, look forward to the next installment of lore, thanks OX!
Man, I really admire your storytelling abilities. I recently discovered your channel and since then I have replaced Netflix with your content.
Thank you for putting in such great effort, it shows. Congrats on building such a successful youtube channel.

@@buzzdroid8325 Care to repeat that?
@@buzzdroid8325 Care to repeat that?
@@buzzdroid8325 Don't be a dick. Oxhorn is a good youtuber, at least find a creative insult.
do you still watch
I love the “Tales from the West Virginia Hills” series. I think it was a great way of both fleshing out the world and adding on to the 50s aesthetic. I think it acts much like the silver shroud radio plays from FO4. I also love the fact that you chose to also go in depth on the real-world origins of these fantastical beasts. I find the real world stories more fascinating at time. Just the fact that a combination of mystery, curiosity, and herd mentality can cause millions of people to fully believe a beast straight from a fairy tale exists in our own world is really interesting to hear about. Now all we need is Bigfoot in the Fallout universe...
Maybe just maybe.... They are reeeeaaaalllll
@@dadshirt6681 A very low chance of being real unfortunately but still....
I creating a Fallout fan story taking place in the Midwest and I once visited a place called Broken Bow and nearby was a Bigfoot gift shop and other Bigfoot related things, so I'm adding the Bigfoot of Broken Bow as a creature in my story
@@petepeterson5917 I don’t think the Natives were lying all this time. Those tales were just too oddly specific.
I appreciate they aren't all that corny or cheesy and are legitimately kinda creepy.
Next Fallout game should include more horror radio plays. There was a cool Fallout 4 mod that added radio plays of Lovecraft stories.
My wife and I were literally just driving up the river road from Alton Illinois 2 weeks ago today discussing criptids barn stars and specifically the Piasa bird. Which is actually pronounced “Pie-a-saw. Love the vid!
I felt like I was being stabbed every time he pronounced it
It makes sense if westtek captured the prewar crypteds and used their DNA in the FEV experiments
J. Augustus Smith WestTek is the Fallout world’s SCP foundation
[REDACTED] SCP - 507
I've been thinking about the timeline and these cryptids and may have an explanation. West Tech may have known about the regional cryptids and desired to replicate their significant strengths and abilities. Once they possessed the multiple cryptids DNA they incorporated it into the FEV virus to force them to mutate to a cryptid form.
Or the fev could of been around much longer and made the cryptids we know
The piasa is pronounced Pie-Uh-Saw. I live in Illinois about 45 minutes away from Alton and have seen the recreated mural many times.
Love how you frame old footage like at 4:15 Oxhorn! That got really dark at 15:53
Snallygasters would wreck me on my first play-through. I still avoid them if I can help it. They’re look so disgusting they just creep me out
I surprised nobody made the connection between the centaur and the snallyghaster yet it’s pretty clear they are similar or the snallyghaster is the species of centaur that lives in west Virginia
I thought the Exact same thing when I first saw one, I’m curious to know what they’re made out of
i always wondered about the stars on some houses in fo76, very interesting!
same
DeannaRa
At least it not the communist red star
James McGill before this video i thought perhaps the government was forcing some people to display the star as suspected communists or sympathizers
Anyone know where I can find that camera that ox uses in the video?
@@devonmoreau Me too! They're all over the tops of buildings from the Soviet era.
Maybe it’s possible both the snallygaster and grafton monster are actually locked within a humans dna that can only be unlocked through F.E.V since most humans turn into Super Mutants when exposed to F.E.V instead?
I find the fallout lore so fascinating and same goes to criptetes( sorry I’m dislexick) and to see these be involved and link to the fallout universe in the most beautiful state, and I would just love to say, thank you oxhorn, you teach basic game mechanics to historical events in history. I leave this comment with just one wish, don’t stop doing what you do, it’s amazing
Autism And more autism he probably is it seems like he was talking from the heart
It’s the way he tells them like a story.
BLG Studios I mean it is a story he just does all the hard work for us he puts the fallout and the real world all together into a video like the lore
Autism And more autism hi, unfortunately yes I am but a truly am happy that your concerned about that cause there are some people who fake disability or illness for likes and views
But yes I do have dislexer
And no that’s not how we spell it, but I can’t spell it anyway
@Autism And more autism Dyslexia, and the other word in question was Cryptids 😁
My mom had a Siamese cat that had a similar problem The Big Show has. It never stopped growing. It got big enough too be mistaken for a dog and brought home jack rabbits before it died. I theorize other animals with gland problems are the inspirations for a lot of legendary monsters.
I don't know why that cat story is adorable to me. I mean, it probably suffered from that condition, and that's not okay. I just love the idea of a huge Siamese.
Near its death it started hating jumping and exorcise but before that it was a hunting machine. If it wasn't a good cat, it slept in my room a lot, it would have been scary. Like having a large bobcat in the house.
@@murderedcarrot9684 Awwwwww
12:34 (keep watching)
The "Bill and Ted's Bogus Adventure" thing caught me so off guard I'm laughing my ass off.
The Snallygaster is just pink Randall from Monsters Inc.
Okay. My sentient-adserve screen-bottom advert for this one was for "Canberra Pest Control Experts"
Potentially West Tek were experimenting with FEV in numerous locations and thus other experimental subjects got loose..or released for testing. .
“pie-uh-saw” not “pee-ah-sah”
I’m from Alton and that painting is pretty gnarly but the caves are closed off sadly
Lol hearing someone else pronounce it differently was hilarious.
West tek really reminds me of the SCPF and when something breaches containment it reminds me of the MTF's job of killing or recapturing an SCP
Title: "The origin of the snallygaster"
Me: * looks at the word *
Title: "Snallygaster"
Me: * gets rid of the word snally *
Title: * gaster *
Me: * yeets out of my room *
no
*Gaster's theme intensifies*
I always find cryptids interesting, I don't really know what to think of them. All I know is that I am never going to West Virginia
Maybe the sightings of the snallygaster and grafton monsters were earlier test subjects from West-Tec that they let lose in order to see how they would survive outside a controlled environment, but they failed and their data was archived and wiped from the terminals, then WT would try again with the same strain of FEV, just modified a bit to root out what made earlier subjects fail. Then rinse and repeat.
0:47 "And that's the last picture I ever took"
0:48 he's getting attacked and he just took a picture of it XD
Oxhorn, Professional Fallout NatGeo documenter
Loving these monster breakdowns. I find the creatures of '76 to be so fascinating and creative, really unique to this iteration of the Fallout universe in particular.
I think they're my favorite part of 76. I love how they're based on real lore.
Mothman is next isn't it?
PS love your videos oxhorn
Keep up the good work and have a great day.
He already did mothman
LOL
He did, and apparently its connected to a cult that is also connected to a lovecraftian-esc "old god"
its also a movie
I love all your videos but especially adore the ones that tackle real-world lore and its crossover. This one is truly superb! And bonus Teddy Roosevelt being a boss.
I find this creature fascinating, I managed to find one and tame it! It looks great lurking around my camp, and makes easy prey of a rouge mongrel or ghoul! 😀
DJ Kombatbunni, I just put a sign on my vending saying, Snally is tame! So yeah Snally is the nickname.. Visitors to the camp are a bit freaked out by this drooling thing walking towards them. Lol
How do you tame one?
Sir Ares Duke Of War, you need 6 in Charisma (both Animal friend and wasteland whisperer perks maxed) then you need to find a random spawn point where only one animal appears.. point and tame/ send to camp :) There’s a few vids on TH-cam about this.
@@AndyHolmesADI Thanks!
How do you take them?
My dad has seen the reproduction of the Piasa bird painting! It's a really interesting story.
Cool! I'd love to see that some day.
I think Snallygasters are some form of Centaur.
I love how these videos are a combination of real history and video game history , Oxhorn is very good at telling history and I’d love to see more history based videos
Hey Oxhorn, it is pronounced PIE-a-saw :)
I remember when I first moved down here and mispronounced the name, I thought that everyone was going to have a heart attack! It was quite humorous.
It’s a huge deal around here and the mural is pretty sweet. They even use it as a mascot for some schools.
I love how there was a connection to a place where I live! Thanks for the video!!!
Cool, thanks! I never would've thought to pronounce it that way.
THANK YOU! I've lived here my whole life in Madison County so I've always heard it how you pronounced it.
I am from austria and its just so fun how you say Schneller Geist
Grüß Gott👋
As a St Louisan, we pronounce it Pie-Uh-Saw.
Glad that this game is coming to Steam, and is receiving good updates and such~
@@unclegaming4658 Well, that's until you find that a repair kit that you could make for free in previous games will now set you back about 3-5 bucks of real world cash. You begin to see where people get the negative ideas from. Not to mention the game updates that break almost everything when they come out. 1 step froward, 2 steps back at Bethesda.
@@Alice-vt6du what version of the game are you playing? No repair kit goes for that much, and if you REALLY don't wanna use your earnable atoms, why not just repair the old fashioned way? Or get the improved repair kits through the scorchbeast queen? Seems to me you need to learn more about what you're talking about. Hell, last time I got on, they added a new multipack giving you even more kits for your atoms. Keep whining, so others will keep winning.
"good updates"
@@unclegaming4658 (In response to your first comment) You can't just discredit anybody who disagrees with you
As someone who has put in a lot of hours it’s a good exploration game but feels really hollow dropping nukes had so much potential but all they do is just bring out high level enemies and radiation... and the devs keep nerfing everything weapons , even your hunger and weapon decay rate to get you to buy the atomic shop items (repair kits)
Heheh, Ox worked Bill and Ted into this video. Only Oxhorn.
Yup
Hey Ox, since you made a "Here's my Gear!" for Fallout 4, I would like to suggest you doing that for Fallout 3 or even New Vegas!
Edit: Thanks for the likes! Hopefully Ox can see it!
Having restricted time these days I havnt caught a video or even a stream for going on 2 months and just like that you got me hooked again, great work Oxhorn. Hope all is going great and well in the Dennis household. Lots of great memories watching your old S&SR with beanstock
Pronounced Pie-saw bird. Live like 7 miles from it. Creepy stuff
Makes sense I always wondered how centaurs were made i assume verly similarly they both shoot spit at you have extra limbs but resemble humans in face and limp shape
There was a Snallygaster in line behind me at 7-11 the other day. Trippin on pills and wanting lotto tickets and cigarettes. She didn't have any teef.
11:00 that dad sure got scared quick, even ran away
Snallygaster hates Red star of Communism
*Russian Anthem intensifies!*
Communism protects you from Snallygasters, apparently.
I wonder if the SG lays eggs. Can't wait for next week's "Tales of West Virginia hills"
Oh Hey, the newest edition to Doom Eternal
There was a statement when I joined a server saying the snallygaster was a experiment of the FEV virus, I never got to finish reading the in-game hint before it dissapeared.
1:27. Yep, there's one on my barn. Ruhr valley descendant
I just wanted to let you know that I love your Fallout Lore. Ive been wanting to play Fallout for a long time but the ghouls scared me too much so I watches your videos instead. I'm finally playing with a mod that replaces the ghouls with something else. Your vids also inspired me to do a oneshot series of Fallout. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos. I even got my sister hooked on them and she was more impressed with the fact that you have tp put in so much time and effort into making these. So thank you! Keep up the good work! (Sorry that was long, I couldnt find another place to message you my thanks)
It’s also the name of a beer festival in Washington, DC
The announcement for the Snallygaster in the middle of the radio play sounded like an insert by Oxhorn. It sounded like him ....
Great video, thanks for enlightening me on some real life local lore that I didn’t know about. I live in southern Pennsylvania and I’m a 15 minute drive from Emmitsburg and, half hour drive from Hagerstown Md and about 45 minutes from Harpers Ferry. I love playing Fallout 76 since it’s so close to my real world home. I may have to research the real life snallygaster tales locally.
7 pointed star. SEVERN pointed star.
She says 7-pointed star, NOT 5-pointed star
Yah, but the barns have a 5 pointed star. Bethesda screwed up with the script. Have you ever seen a 7 pointed star anywhere?
*edit* Ox addresses this in his comment. Apparently therecare 7 pointed stars in the game. Apologies to Bethesda.
I guess you could say it's a point of contention?
Yeah I was hoping he would mention that too.
Selale Z actually, a seven pointed Star is called a heptagram.
Check out the pinned comment.
I have a suggestion for a new series: Fallout Bestiary. What do you think?
Government: *Discoveres body of legendary cryptid, that could be taken in to study it's anatomy, and prove the existence of something nobody could've ever thought actually existed* Also Government: "Yeah bro, les fuckin destroy it."
I am only level 28 and those snallygasters are so annoying to fight and my camp is in toxic valley
Is it possible the snallygaster that was seen by witness came from huntersville where the FEV was in the water and it mutated slowly from there.. just off the top of head didn't actually think it thru..be cool if that is possible
Thank you Ox for both teaching me about Fallout lore and giving me something to listen to whenever I'm doing other things or relaxing! :D
I love the fact that I'm in no way surprised Teddy Roosevelt wanted to hunt a monster.
Progressives do stuff like that.
Reminds me of the little Watchers from Horizon Zero Dawn.
Ok this just sounds awesome, who knew some of the lesser known Cryptics had such influence in the past
... so that's what that was... I saw a gauater. I went to West va when we were driving. My mother gave me so pills for the road when I saw a giant bird. I thought it was the bills and so I never mentioned it but now... I'm scared. It was 3months ago.
Woah
Ambien? (The pills)
Just a note, 500lbs pounds of TNT would absolutely DESTORY everything around the Shine Still, and wtvr neighbors in the surrounding hillside. Not to mention, the incredibly difficult task of sneaking in that much weight of unstable explosives, unseen in the middle of the night?! It's so casualy mentioned, one can easily forget the total, raw, and destructive TNT was/is, especially in a world where Nukes are passed around like candy.
hahahahahThat Snellygaster story about the moonshine still was such delightful twaddle. It just so happens that its corpse was conveniently blasted into its component atoms. Seriously though, I don't think it possible to make such a large explosion short of resorting to military means. I bet they heard the *FUMP* ten miles away hahaha. Cheers for the upload Ox.
Ever seen Mountain Monsters? There's an episode were they hunt the snallygaster.
Live in Alton Il. Had no idea what that thing was so this is pretty cool
Oxhorn, I just want to say that I love your content and you have become a part of my daily routine. Every morning as I'm about to get ready to go to work, I put on one of your videos - specifically your fallout videos to listen to as I'm driving to work. Keep up the great work!
Oxhorn: describe how powerfull and scary snallygaster is
also Oxhorn: *killing snallygaster while take a picture of it and describe it*
Yo, Ox! I live in Alton, Illinois!!! We pronounce it “Pie-Saw”!
Two syllables? Not Pie-a-saw?
Interesting.
ME TOO SHOUTOUT TO YOU MAN
Hey oxhorn just letting you know I love your videos and I have watched just about all of them. hope you will be able to make more soon.
It may end up being that the makers plan on saying that the FEV isn't the first iteration. Maybe the FEV is based on something the Zetans had? It would fit in their lore.
Dang its been a long time since I’ve watched your videos!
I remember watching all your videos to the point that I’d have to wait for a few days or even a few hours until the next one.
I love your story-telling, very entertaining!
Have a good day!
Next video, could you explain the origin of the scorched and the scorchedbeast
Imagine Peter Griffin saying Snallygaster. I just ruined your day.
Zombie Fanatic fucksake mate 😂
Zombie Fanatic no!!!
Snellygester
One comes charging at you, but it's laughing like Peter
My first snallygaster was near the toxic dry lake bed, behind the shooting range, I’m only level twenty, it was a decent fight
Well FEV is somewhat connected to the dunwich monster, so all super mutants are technically like imps is we assume the dunwich monster is the fallout equivalent of the devil
Corrupt corporate behavior in the Fallout Universe. I'm shocked. 😒
hey Ox so I’m doing a youtubers as dragons art challenge and have selected 20 youtubers at random. And you my friend are one of those lucky 20
“Demon”
Doom slayer: you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.
Just as a note, it's the Pie-uh-saw bird, not the Pee-ah-suh. Also, there's a mod for Fallout 3 where you can visit Alton!
You heard of the snallygaster, but have you heard of the Smellynastier? A bearded dragon that wears sweat pants and Atari shirt. It uses its garlic breath weapon too stun prey.
Oh shit, the deadliest area attack of them all!
Honestly have been waiting for this video.
*casually listens to radio story while an assaultron makes roasted supermutant in the distance*
I love how he's listening to the holotape and he just zooms in to see an assaultron fighting a super mutant.
