Radstag inspired fursona anyone? Idea from my gf
So I made a puppet of an albino Radstag doe from fallout!
The trash called to me like a sirens call and this is what came after a 9 hour straight crafting session (I didn’t realized I stayed up until 5:40am until my alarm went off)
Anyway I want to make little horns too but idk what to make them out of so any suggestions would be appreciated!
Also name suggestions for this girl?
finally, complete and good refs of the last two members of the Syndicate's special forces squad!
Radcliffe is a radstag crossbreed and the eldest member of the squad, and although he is not the leader, he is highly respected and the group would fall apart without him. his mutation provides no special abilities other than extreme hardiness and resilience. he functions mainly as their healer and general resources guy, and has also basically taken the role of Aurorum's guardian
Aurorum is a radbat crossbreed (slightly different from the scorch beasts). as contrast, she is the youngest. she has been experimented on since she was an infant and possess the ability of echolocation and very good memory. Due to her ability and raising, however, she is selectively mute and prefers communicating through writing and signals rather than speaking. She was assigned to the special forces squad at 16 as a navigator and is especially close to Radcliffe.

I had no idea that Radstags could do this 💀
It had been some time, Jeremiah had not seen the doe since that last Spring and Summer.
but oh how it broke his heart to see her now; so sickly and skinny; crossing the golden field too greet him like she always once had, despite the ever prevalent stiffness she presented in her aged limbs.
And when she finally laid down to rest beside him, to lay her heads in his lap, and take in what was left of the late afternoon rays, she told him quite fondly of the last fawn she’d bore that spring.
Soon time shifted, and that night, it had been beautiful. The stars were an ocean, clearer than ever they had been before, and the night sky had been painted in a beautiful, deep, dark blue color. A small gust of night wind brushed the doe's pelt gently, but she did not stir, not even as the ghoul brushed a hand across her neck, and felt her warmth slowly slip away.
The Time: AO3
I was playin Fallout 4 Far Harbor recently, and I noticed somethin bout the Radstags there. As THE deer nerd yall knew I had to say somethin. Ramble incomin
So in literally every other iteration, the Radstags are just heavily irradiated deer. Huge missin patches of fur, an extra set of smaller legs on their chests and two heads (the inner eyes are blind for some reason). But aside from that, they're normal deer. They behave and look the same way.
HOWEVER!! The Radstags at Far Harbor are different. As you saw, normal Radstags have normal deer teeth. But Far Harbor deer don't.
These Radstags just so happen to have tusks. Much like a real species of deer, the Chinese Water Deer. Now, it's important to get into why Bethesda might've chosen these types of deer for inspiration.
As the name suggests, Chinese Water Deer are mainly found in Chinese and Korean rivers and other bodies of water. They're proficient swimmers, so this is a fittin habitat for them to live in. It's onea the reasons why I think Bethesda chose them as inspiration for the Far Harbor Radstags due to how much of a water-based environment the location is.
Though, the reason Chinese Water Deer live in wet areas like riversides is because the surroundin foliage is long enough to hide them due to how small they are. But Radstags are the size of larger deer, mainly elks. So I don't think Bethesda took that into consideration, just the water part.
My second reason is the tusks. In both Chinese Water Deer and Far Harbor Radstags, they have long tusks in the place of canine teeth. Both males and females have them for defense as the species as a whole do not possess antlers. Males tusks are typically larger as they use them the same way antlered deer use their antlers. Except these tusked deer can pull their tusks back out of the way to eat and draw them closer and outwards when in aggressive situations. Mainly to fight rival males for mates.
But the thing is, Radstags don't really need these tusks as they have antlers already. In Chinese Water Deer, they have these tusks because they can't grow antlers. Their tusks are their antlers. So why do Radstags grow both? It kinda confuses me, but maybe it's a radiation thing. I mean, Radstags also have an extra set of legs and a second head so idk.
But yeah, that's why I think the Far Harbor Radstags are based on the Chinese Water Deer. This was probably already obvious, but it came to mind while I was tryin and failin to sleep, so I had to write it down anyway.
