Deathclaws (5e Fallout Supplement)
Deathclaws[edit]
A failed supersoldier program developed by the prewar United States’ military based off of the Jackson’s chameleon, Deathclaws are ferocious predators with fearsome claws and terrible fangs. They attack anything in their paths, engaging with unmatched aggression. While most are unable to speak, a small community fostered by the enclave was noted to have mastered the English language.

Variant: Glowing Deathclaw[edit]
Some deathclaws have absorbed ungodly amounts of radiation and have started to glow as a result. To make any type of deathclaw glowing, make all it’s attacks deal half the attack’s damage as rads as well as the base damage. Additionally, make the deathclaw immune to radiation, and give it the following trait, with X, Y, and Z representing numbers corresponding to the deathclaw’s size; X equals the deathclaw’s challenge rating, Y equals the deathclaw’s Hit Die size, and Z equals the deathclaw’s physical size in feet.
Radioactive At the start of each of the deathclaw’s turns, each creature within Z feet of it takes YdX rads.
