The Cryptids Of Fallout | Fallout 76 Lore

[@WiseFish]

Hope you guys all enjoyed this dive back into the Fallout universe. Do let me know what else you’d like to see from it!

[@UltFemWarrior]

Maybe item lores or location lore from fallout 76??

[@WiseFish]

@@UltFemWarrior that’s a cool idea!

[@UltFemWarrior]

@@WiseFish glad a could help a little. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

[@IGDCAM]

Dude. You gotta do a video on Harold. Do a crossover with Roanoke

[@GlitterGothBunny]

Maybe a video on any ghosts or paranormal type things in fallout.

[@00Athus1]

As a native West Virginian from morgantown, I love that our folklore is apart of fallout now. Tho the map still gives me a mini stroke with where they put some of the places on the map.

[@mannamoth918]

Wdym about the places on the map? Not a West Virginia native nor been so I'm curious

[@amandazangari9636]

​@mannamoth918 I grew up in Summersville and IRL if the Summersville Dam blew up it wouldn't flood Charleston, there's no way it could with Charleston being 40 miles from Summersville. I currently live in Beckley and Camden Park is not that close to Beckley. It's about 40 or 50 miles from Beckley.

[@topcat59]

Mothman is the greatest cryptid in fallout 76, hell the event to summon the purple eye moth was one of my favorite thing to do when I first play the game.😺

[@WiseFish]

So glad the event popped when I was gathering footage because I love the look of the purple eyed wiseone

[@XSilver_WaterX]

Some of us didn't get a clean event as we either had 1-2 mates short or a pack of legendries SOMEHOW chased us from across the map and tried to sabotage us! Glad though they patched out the bug where if you squished 3 or more fireflies in one attack, it somehow is canceled.

[@daeviant]

Mothman attacked my camp and my ally managed to kill it after 10 minutes and a bunch of turrets and walls were destroyed.

[@joelpena209]

Pretty sure the Purple one is the original where as the red eye ones are it’s kids

[@Bothrops_Asper_89]

@@joelpena209 The Purple one is like a good, friendly one. The red/yellow ones are inherently evil according to cultist notes.

[@chibicthulhu4382]

What if the wendigos are actually a type of ghoul? I always found it suspect that they are non-hostile towards ghouls. It could be a result of eating radiation/possibly FEV infected meat. I think that’s a cool way to tie them into the lore

[@PMO.DB98]

I could be reaching by connecting Until Dawn to this but in that game one doesn’t just become a Wendigo they must consume human meat/ be a cannibal advancing the the stages of their malfeasance

[@Bothrops_Asper_89]

They're implied to be some sort of ghoul variant. They can be found in ghoul-infested areas, and unlike the Scorched, Wendigos don't attack ghouls on sight. I read someone mentioning that ghouls are probably a result of how contaminated Appalachia was pre-war, and once people ate lead/ultracite/fev/irradiated meat; that could have triggered a different sort of mutation.

[@deadbeatsadcat]

Whenever I play regular ghouls never pick fights with wendigos, but for some reason bloated ones always do.

[@traptastic4864]

They are, basically it's depicted as 'a cannibal that becomes a ghoul has a chance of becoming a wendigo' There is ambiguity about what exactly causes it though, kinda like ghouls vs feral.

[@TimedRevolver]

@@traptastic4864 It could be cannibals who ate Ghouls as a means of survival. As for normal vs feral ghouls, it could be a matter of how damaged the brain is after the initial radiation exposure.

[@poromafia]

Too bad you didn't point out the cattle tag on sheepsquatch, because it has "MT" written on it. Would be a heck of a coincidence if Bethesda just happened to accidentally put those letters there.

[@nicksanchez2041]

MT is from New vegas right?

[@natebalboa9399]

Ran there from Big MT from NV that sounds awesome

[@TheFruitofTruth]

The wendigo is easily my favorite cryptic all of these creatures I’ve hunted down out of interest never found a sloth though. Spent 3 real life days hunting it in the area it’s supposed to spawn but never got it

[@pyro6957]

Sloths will spawn at the scorchbeast queen event, as well as randomly in wooded areas around the bog. To be completely honest, I've only actually ever seen one outside of an event in over 1500 hours, those and hermit crabs, I've only seen 6 at most in all that time.

[@mr420jay]

Wow really I’ve found Megasloth around the bog, and whenever fighting the scorch beast queen.

[@donovanfurse6355]

they added in two new cryptids, the Ouga, a giant turtle and the Blue Devil. basically a death claw but werewolf

[@DEFxRECON]

Even though 76 was…what it was… at launch, my friends and I loved exploring the map just to find all the cryptids. Randomly stumbling upon some wendigos while we were underleveled was so fun.

[@isaacschmitt4803]

As I'm sure others have told you already, the Flatwoods Monsters are Zetans. They're just wearing special suits/vehicles.

[@natebalboa9399]

What make you think that?

[@aydentoma7684]

I love when Fallout makes interesting creatures of sorts and not just variations of dog, Super Mutant, and ghoul!

[@pasta1549]

The teaser for the zeta aliens video is peaking my interest more than anything

[@YoWhoDat]

Barely started this yesterday. Needed something I could play for a while without getting bored, so needless to say I’m doing all side quests and doubling back for the main ones when I feel like I’m venturing too far from them. Everything looks great and runs so smooth. Definitely my new favorite Fallout game now.

[@TheREALSimagination]

There are two creatures I hate to see the most in the misty distance of dark Mire area: a Mirelurk Queen and the just the still, glowing eyes of the Mothman.

[@VaultCourier380]

There is a thunderbird (i think) in Seneca Rocks. That's another cryptid?

[@FeedMeSalt]

Seen some videos like this a while ago, never a dull topic. You made uniquely feeling work out of something I have been following for years, well done!

[@blahhaa8662]

Love all the content please keep up the amazing work! FYI - Sloths already come in the variety of three-toed, as well as five-toed. No mutation was needed.

[@Ar1AnX1x]

did they finally fix Fallout 76 though? man I can't believe its already been 4 years, I'd think it was a year max that it came out and everyone was review bombing it.

[@WiseFish]

I mean I struggled trying to enjoy getting footage for this one honestly. I love doing it for 3,4 and NV but sadly I can’t get into F76 due to all the technical bugs I encounter regularly. To each their own I guess.

[@Ar1AnX1x]

@@WiseFish that's insane that they haven't fixed it yet, after 4 years what are they doing then.

It isn't as bad today as it was at launch. There is still issues, some silly ones, some infuriating ones. But it's helluva lot better than day 1.

[@zacharyfrey3264]

Really enjoy when franchises create their own adaptation of creatures from myths and legends.

[@misselizabethplays8070]

After playing the vastly improved game over the past couple of weeks, I have encountered all of these, to my intense horror. I didn't find THEM, they found ME.

[@darklordmalthric3633]

Please cover the Exosquad

[@artymixon5316]

Awesome suggestion,I wish some one would do a live action remake of exo sqaud geared for a more adult audience,it was already pretty dark and griity

[@poilus]

15:59 maybe the scorched plague has something to do with people becoming Wendigos. That would explain why they’re only seen in Appalachia

[@johnalddrumph456]

Maybe I'm just missing something but, how were there stories of teenagers being chased by the Grafton Monster when it was specifically stated the explosions of the great war caused the driver transporting it to crash and release the creature?

[@magicman3163]

I think the Sheepsquach is a reference to Fallout Tactics Deathclaws maybe it’s a pre-deathclaw like before they went to Lizard DNA

[@permeus2nd]

6:15 ok the idea of something like this been able to self replicate is quite terrifying as if only 1 escaped you could with enough time and food end up with a flood of them.

[@Pinkerton03]

Man I've never been to a place called Flatswood in 76. Maybe it's the obscure cousin of Flatwoods?

[@amandazangari9636]

The Beast of Beckley is more based on the Werewolf of Webster County. I grew up in Summersville and the Webster County line is about 12 miles from Summersville so my parents had friends that lived in Webster Springs and I remember as a child my dad's friend told me and my older brother the story of the Werewolf of Webster County.

[@reyganbriggs6785]

Fun fact. The Grafton Monster is incredibly similar to the Navajo monster called the Thelgeth. A headless ape who preys on men.

[@Bearoholic]

Great vid! I actually enjoyed my time playing 76, it’s way less buggy now than 4 on Xbox

[@Ar1AnX1x]

man I really should play New Vegas, everyone says its so good, but I wanna play Fallout 3 first which everyone says is worse in every single way which is a feeling you don't wanna have when you're playing a long game and constantly wanting to skip it for the better one

[@WiseFish]

I still think F3 is pretty good honestly I just think if you want a really solid RPG New Vegas is soooo much better! Just wish I didn’t launch with all those horrible technical problems

[@GlitterGothBunny]

You can play them outta order and still enjoy them. I played NV first and loved it. FO3 wasn't as good imo but still held up as a fun game to play though I got so turned around in the DC ruins. That was irritating.

[@Ar1AnX1x]

@@GlitterGothBunny wait, Fallout 3's lore isn't related to New Vegas?

[@johnw8578]

Great video and I eagerly await a part 2 with the Blue Devil, Ogua, and Jersey Devil cryptids. Cryptids are my favorite part of Fallout 76! Does the Interloper count at a cryptid or as something else?

[@Bowen_Landry]

Another interesting lore video. Keep up the great work!

[@lukedaniel2892]

What is the creature hinted at between the snallygaster and grafton?

[@Ashley-xn1mz]

It's just a super mutant (or if you meant the one with vault suit, it's a deformed vault dweller they appear in fallout 3 but only as corpses)

[@justapillow2443]

Who knew the nuclear end of the world would actually bring back the giant ground sloth from extinction

[@e.m.m.i6054]

The beast of beckley and her cubs were likely lab experiments before the war which would explain why she can tear a bear apart and became ghouls of some sort Also hope for a part two

I don’t get the timeline for some of those. They escaped the lab after or during the bombs dropping but there is still pre war folklore and even drawn imagery of them?

No credit to Norte I guess, considering he did the same video 2 months ago. Maybe something original would be better

[@LeTon75]

Great video btw 👍 I call them cryptrads becos of how stupidly easy they are to kill. I'm a new player to the game , a month in and level 60, and I haven't come across a creature or monster that my trusty cold shoulder shottie can't destroy in 4 to 6 shots max. That stupid headless thing goes down in 6 to 8 shots , the wendygo bout 4 in the head , and them 2 scallops bout the same. They really made this game way to easy I suppose trying to entice new players to the franchise. It's also sad to see the legendary Deathclaw , in previous games when your saw one of them you would run like crazy to either get away from it or get somewhere up high so it can't get you then slowly chip away at killing it , but on 76 they are a 5 to 6 shot gummy bear 😢 I would also like to of had a crack at PvP but unfortunately the GTA online rejects that are playing 76 all in pacifist mode ffs lmao 🤣😂 I'm still enjoying the game despite the ease of it

Doesn't matter if they fixed it, at it's core it's still a multiplayer leech stealing development resources from what has always been and always should have been a storydriven single player series.
