Creatures

This is a sub-page of Fallout 3 (Van Buren).

Creatures#

Models for several unused creatures exist in the Van Buren tech demo. They are described below.

Ant#

Your average post-apocalyptic and very large ant.

Ant Queen#

An oversized Ant Queen. Would probably either be a boss character or a high-level enemy.

Bat#

Even bats aren't safe from 50's-style evil radiation.

Badger#

A texture for a badger can be found in the game's files, but there is no model for it. It is unknown if badgers would've been an enemy or a harmless critter.

Beetle#

Guess.

Centipede#

A centipede, but its skin doesn't load. There are multiple skins for it, showing that it was going to appear in a variety of colors.

Cougar#

One of the random wildlife you would run into would be a Cougar.

Cow#

There is a model for a cow in the game's files. What's unusual about this cow is that it has one head, which every other Fallout game uses a two-headed cow called the Brahmin.

Deathclaw#

Everyone's favorite endgame badass monster would be in Van Buren as well. Of note is that this model is the later model, not the earlier one.

Desert Stalker#

The Desert Stalker would have been an overgrown Antlion.

Zombie#

Where there is no Ghoul-specific model, there is a texture sheet called “CR_zombie_default_LG.tga” that looks a lot like a Ghoul. Since “zombie” is a term for Ghouls, it's possible that the sheet is for a Ghoul character. However, it's more likely that this was intended for an actual zombie. Van Buren shares code and textures from another cancelled game from Interplay, Baldur's Gate III: The Black Hound, and based on the metal armor and different art style, this texture is a leftover from it.

Gila Monster#

Hey, another large animal!

Venus Mantrap#

An overgrown plant that would probably act like a Venus Flytrap. This poor creature was cut from Fallout 2 and was then scrapped when Van Buren was canceled.

Rad Toad#

A mutated toad.

Rat#

A Fallout game isn't complete with cannon-fodder enemies!

Sheep#

To do: Get an image of the model, and maybe a link for model importing that hasn't been dead for several years.

A texture and model for sheep can be found in the files, but they have no animations.

Thorn Slinger#

The Thorn Slinger would be another evil plant that would attack the player. It would probably throw projectiles at the player.

Wasp#

One last “oversized normal animal” for the road.

Weedling#

The Weedling is a bipedal plant.

Wolf#

To do: Get an image of the model

A texture and model of a wolf can be found in the files, but the model has no skeleton or animations.
