Exploring Fallout's Elusive Cryptids | Fallout Lore
6,397Cryptids are Creatures that are mentioned in local folklore, but whose actual existence has yet to be confirmed, but the truth is that many of these different cryptids do exist and institutions like The U.S. Armed Forces and intelligence agencies like Sugar Grove, were keeping track of cryptid encounters right up until the bombs dropped. Even though most people thought they were just folklore created by those with active imaginations, cryptids were still a big part of pre-war culture. Point Pleasant built a statue of the Mothman, Vault-Tec University’s football team was called the “Fighting Wendigos,” and radio shows like Tales from the West Virginia Hills told stories about various cryptids reportedly sighted in the area. After the Great War, sightings of cryptids began to increase and the reason why, at least according to Shelby O'Rourke, a cryptozoologist living in The Mire, was thanks to nuclear war removing the majority of humans, the creatures now felt safe enough to come out of hiding…Over the years many cryptids have either appeared or been mentioned throughout the Fallout series, however I’m going to exclude the eldritch entities, paranormal encounters and extra terrestrials, all of which while strange and mysterious, are technically not cryptids, who are said to animal in nature and terrestrial in origin.
With that said, we begin with The Mega Sloth.
