Geckos (5e Fallout Supplement)
Geckos[edit]
Bearing the same name as their non-mutated ancestors, geckos are roughly a foot and a half shorter than an average human. They walk on their back legs and are extremely agressive toward any creatures they believe they have a fighting chance against. Young and adult geckos, as well as geckozillas have a light blue/gray skin. They live in immobile colonies, often preferring hills and cliff sides.

A recessive trait among geckos, the ability to breath fire is not unheard of. While certain colonies of exclusively fire geckos exist, they are typically found mixed in with normal geckos. They will act as alphas when golden geckos are not present, but will not challenge a golden gecko’s authority.

With copious consumption of datura or other plant-based poisons, which geckos are naturally resistant to, they can develop a natural venom that stains their pelt dark green. In such ecosystems, they take the place of normal adult geckos. If they also bear the fire gene, their breath typically burns out their poison glands. A similar effect occurs when they become golden.

A massive fire gecko, Geckozilla is a creature only spoken of in legend. Impenetrable hide and boiling fire, he’s said to be the cause of the disappearance of multiple Brotherhood of Steel recon squads. While the rumors only ever speak of one, there’s always the possibility that somewhere, a horde of these monsters exists; waiting to conquer the world. |
