Homebrew Deathclaw Species Details
Well known throughout the wasteland, the deathclaw is a creature feared by many, and for good reason. Created through the genetic engineering and gene splicing of the Jackson’s Chameleon, the pre-War U.S. government created these monstrosities to replace soldiers on the battlefield. Sporting vicious claws and horns, and a stature that towers over most humans, these creatures are killing machines with a speed faster than most creatures of their size. Female deathclaws are often larger than the males and are deeply protective of their eggs and young. Encountering a lone deathclaw is dangerous, but to stumble upon a nest is almost guaranteed to end in a swift, painful death.
