Fallout nola alligators must be scary as fuck
they are! thanks for giving me an excuse to post more fallout nola concept art. personally i actually don’t think they’ve mutated as much as other creatures we’ve seen. gators irl are actually not as likely to attack humans, however i do think post-war, with a smaller food supply, they have taken to hunting down humans more. as such, they’ve mutated and evolved over time to be larger, have wider jaws and throats, and improved strategy of hunting prey. more intent behind them.
tangentially related but i do think that mutated crocodiles may be more like the “deathclaws” of the south. honestly there may be crococlaws. deathodiles. some sorta cross between them cus they’re a lot more comparable imo. i know “gatorclaws” exist in the nuka world DLC, but that was due to human intervention and not naturally occurring. gators i might compare more to the mirelurk kings/queens (tho trust there are mutated crabs down there too).
gators lurk a lot more. ppl in fallout nola have already built their settlements on stilts and higher ground, and it’s not uncommon for the gators to hang around the bottom of some places, particularly more rural towns, in the hopes someone or something falls in the water. boats tends to keep them away, but if one’s particularly hungry and the boat isn’t too big or loud, it’s not unheard of for them to attack.
people actively hunt them tho. their skin is really tough and used pretty regularly as leather. some ppl make a name for themselves hunting them.
ok that’s probably enough outta me LOL
