Amazon’s Fallout TV show still has plenty of creatures to work with. These examples would be just the tip of the iceberg.
Highlights
- Plenty of creatures from the wasteland remain to be introduced in future seasons of Amazon’s Fallout TV series.
- Including various mutant bugs like Bloatflys and Bloodbugs could add diversity and danger to the wasteland.
- The potential introduction of Super Mutants in future seasons could add complexity and intrigue to the show.
The Fallout TV series debuted on Prime to glowing reviews. This show, based on Bethesda’s game series, introduced new audiences to a lot of concepts and ideas from the video games. Fans get to see Ghouls, Radroaches, and Brahmin brought to life in this world in a way that works in bringing the wasteland to life.

6 Things Amazon’s Fallout Nails From The Games
Amazon’s Fallout adaptation is out, but how loyal is it to the actual Bethesda video game franchise? Here’s what the series absolutely nailed.
However, most Fallout fans would agree that one of the biggest strengths of the show is that the writers only introduced a few creatures from the games in this first series. The show was more focused on Vault Tec and the character’s journeys, rather than throwing in every great idea all at once. As such, there are plenty of creatures left in the wasteland for the show to introduce in the next season.
1
Bugs
Fallout Has More Than Just Radroaches In The Wild
Close
It makes sense as to why the Fallout show decided to include Radroaches in its first season. Most people are familiar with the idea that cockroaches can survive a nuclear apocalypse, and the main character in the show, Lucy, also gets this explanation when she stumbles across these nasty creatures in the second episode. A few Radroaches can also be seen later in the series in some establishing shots. However, the wasteland is home to many more mutant bugs.
Having the Radroaches around does make the world of the show feel alive. However, they could also include big bugs like Bloatflys, Giant Ants, Stingwings, Cazadors, and Bloodbugs to show just how dangerous and diverse the future in this universe can be. Some of these bugs are just pests for most players, though a Bloodbug could pose a threat as they suck the blood off of survivors as they try to cross the wasteland.

Radscorpions
The Scariest Bug In Fallout
Close
Another bug in the Fallout universe that players will recognize is the deadly Radscorpion. However, these large, mutated bugs can serve more of a narrative purpose in the Fallout TV series, rather than just filling up space in the background as flavorful decoration.

Fallout 4: The 21 Most Powerful Enemies, Ranked
Many creatures in Fallout 4 are terrible, but there are a select few that players need to be aware of. We rank the game’s most powerful enemies.
As its name suggests, the Radscorpion is a giant scorpion that has been mutated by large amounts of radiation. They still have their pincers and stinger at the end of their tail, only now they are about the same size as a human. These creatures also hunt differently from other bugs in the wasteland, as they hide underground and can tunnel quickly to surprise their prey. Therefore, a Radscorpion, or two, could be used in the show as a scary narrative encounter, much like how the first season used The Gulper in episode three.

Mole Rats
Rodents Were Also Effected By The War
Close
It may not be a huge surprise, but many wild mammals were also affected by the radiation when the bombs dropped. Since rats are some of the most common rodents found in the wild in many built-up areas in the real world, the Fallout series has also shown players what became of the wild creatures.
The radiated mole rat comes in many forms in the Fallout games. These large mammals have large teeth and strong claws, and they normally roam in packs to help bring down large enemies. The blind Mole Rat and the Feral Mole Rat are the strongest breeds of this abomination, and players will find them lying in wait underground in many key areas in the wasteland, like the Starlight Drive-In. Perhaps these creatures could provide a great jump scare for viewers in Season 2.
4
Mirelurks
Crustaceans With Some Serious Deformities
Close
The waters of the wasteland are not a safe place two hundred years into the world of Fallout. As a result, many players were probably expecting to see a Mirelurk appear when Lucy Maclean is exploring the edge of the water in episode three of the show. Instead, The Gulper appears to cause trouble, so these mutated crustaceans are still free to make an appearance in Season 2.
A standard Mirelurk is a giant crab that comes equipped with a large shell and deadly pincers. The Hardshell kind is tough to tackle, but the Softshell Mirelurk or the baby forms are easy to deal with. Therefore, a Mirelurk could be used as a normal encounter in an episode, or the Mirelurk Queen, seen in Fallout 4, could be a much larger threat throughout the second season.
5
Deathclaw
The Kings And Queens Of The Wasteland
Close
The Deathclaw is arguably the toughest creature in the wasteland in the Fallout games. When players come across one of these in the wild, they are faced with the choice between trying to run away or fighting it out in a battle that will likely drain all the players’ resources. While a skull of one of these creatures is shown in the Fallout show, there is much more to these terrifying beasts the writers could explore in the future.

Fallout: 6 Worst Vaults To Be Trapped In
Vault-Tec created some truly despicable vaults in the Fallout series, and these would be the worst ones to get trapped in.
Deathclaws were originally conceived of as a replacement for human soldiers during the war before the bombs were dropped. Unfortunately, these predators managed to escape their captivity after The Great War, and these massive threats slowly mutated to become the apex creatures in the wilds of this bleak future. Since the show has already delved into some morally gray areas in the games, exploring the origin of the Deathclaw seems like a natural direction for a show like this.

Super Mutants
A Mutated Force To Be Reckoned With
Close
The average player in any Fallout game is likely to come across a group of hulking brutes known as Super Mutants during their travels across the wasteland. These strong creatures are so prevalent in the franchise, that it seemed odd that the species was omitted entirely from Fallout Season 1.
Super Mutants can be equally dangerous and honorable in their appearances in the games, and there have been many great mutant characters in the series so far. The Super Mutants first started as survivors of The Great War who were subjected to radiation by a scientist, The Master, who wanted to control the remaining wasteland. This subsection of society is intelligent, but many joined a new faction after their species was liberated at the end of the first Fallout game. Sometimes hostile, sometimes sympathetic, and sometimes heroic, the Super Mutant is always an interesting creature to come across in Fallout. As such, they should definitely be included in the TV show in the series to come.
