#I think the name comes from someone saying 'looks like a mutated chuckwalla'

Author Note:

I love Fallout. I really do. I think the medium of the game sort of limits the ecosystem more than a little though. I love thinking of what sort of fucked up ‘evolutionary’ shirt might happen to the wildlife (particularly near the Big MT where we KNOW they’ve been experimenting.) So, I was thinking of Mojave native animals and what a crazy scientist might combine if they wanted to make THE ULTIMATE CREATURE-- and so I present to you the Wallawail. (A quail, chuckwalla, and brook trout all combined for an easily breed-able food source but the project was abandoned and the result escaped into the Mojave. I figure the Wallawail is a species that benefits from living near people (particularly farmers) and the farmers in turn benefit as well since Wallawail are natural predators of the large mutated aphids and other abnormally sized insects of the wasteland. They also are a natural deterrent to Molerats as the Molerats drown in the watery tunnels. Wallawail burrows are usually watery and go deep, deep underground into the natural underground water systems and ultimately are in-fuckin-possible to get rid of-- the only way one might get rid of a burrow is by poisoning the water but uh, that of course would be a fucking stupid thing to do.
