In the world of Fallout, there are many crazy and absurd creatures. One of them is a giant meatball that was supposed to become like Captain America, but that went terribly wrong.
Which meatball are we talking about? The Behemoth is one of the most dangerous beings of the wasteland in the world of Fallout.
It is a variant of the super mutant, which are much stronger and sometimes even smarter than humans. Additionally, super mutants cannot biologically die and often live for many decades or centuries. Should a super mutant become very old, it can mutate into a Behemoth.
The giant monsters have forgotten how to speak over many decades or even centuries and only roar. They use anything that is available as a weapon. In Fallout 3, for example, some Behemoths fight with fire hydrants.
The super mutants were supposed to become a better Captain America
The Captain America (Steve Rogers) that we know today from Marvel’s comics and movies was turned into a super soldier with a serum.
The super mutants of Fallout were once just normal humans, just like Steve Rogers, and they were supposed to suffer a similar fate. Through a virus (FEV), the military wanted to create an army of super soldiers before the Great War on October 23, 2077. The virus had already been tested on small mammals and showed a high increase in strength and intelligence.
Before the virus could be tested on humans at the Mariposa Military Base (MMB), the bombs fell and America became the known wasteland. For several years, the virus lay unattended in the MMB and was exposed to the post-apocalyptic world.
Some of the earliest super mutants were people with increased radiation who came into contact with the fumes or gases of the virus. However, these mutants were unstable and produced many aberrant mutations.
The Master created the first stable super mutants
When an expedition arrived at the station, a member was accidentally pushed into a container with the virus. The person mutated greatly and has since been known as “The Master.” He continued to experiment with the virus and improved it, leading to his subjects becoming the first stable mutants.
With his super mutants, “The Master” wanted to overwhelm the wasteland in Fallout 1. However, the large orc-like beings are not the only creatures that roam the world of Fallout.
