fallûts

Fallûts, also known as Fallouts, are a fictional species originating from the video game series of the same name. These creatures are depicted as mutated, often grotesque, humanoids that inhabit the post-apocalyptic wasteland. Their appearance varies greatly depending on the specific type of fallout and the radiation levels they have been exposed to. Common characteristics include pale or discolored skin, visible mutations such as extra limbs or malformed features, and a general aura of decay.

The origins of fallûts are rooted in the nuclear war that devastated the world in the Fallout universe. Radiation and biological warfare are presented as the primary causes of their mutation from normal humans. They are often portrayed as aggressive and territorial, posing a significant threat to survivors. Their behavior can range from mindless aggression to a more cunning and organized approach, particularly in the case of more advanced or mutated variants.

While generally antagonists, some fallûts exhibit a degree of sentience or even a tragic backstory, hinting at the human they once were. The concept of fallûts serves as a commentary on the destructive potential of unchecked warfare and the enduring impact of environmental contamination. Their presence is a constant reminder of the dangers lurking in the ruined world of Fallout.
