Those are supposed to be middle-fingers, not willies... Also I am aware this comic makes zero sense to anyone who hasn't seen the show yet. Sorry.

Lucy: yeah it turns out the freaky giant axolotl gulpers are actually people, and they're related to the original residents of Vault 4, the ones with the mutations, you know? I feel awful, they're just vault dwellers like me who were taken advantage of and they don't know any better than to try to survive

Maximus: [remembering how he and Thaddeus turned one inside out while trying to retrieve the scientist's head] you don't say

New fallout oc for a ttrpg my brothers friend is running

He’s an enclave scientist who loaded his brain into a robobrain. Unfortunately when the oil rig was destroyed so was his robot body. His brain survived and he had to improvise. The gulper still has at least part of its brain so he only has partial control over it. He hasn’t been having a good time tbh.

Gulpers are mermaids - confirmed (by me). You can fight me about it.

[FALLOUT (SHOW) SPOILERS]

thoughts on a certain fleshy pink monster under the cut

So the show is canon, right? Todd Howard said so, apparently, and yeah, to my moderately trained eye the show js remarkably accurate. The ghoul vials are a new thing, but they're wholly NEW, so I think they work out fine, especially since they're in California well over 100 years after the time of the last game that took place there. It's totally believable to me that the medication was invented after FO1 and remains a regional thing. I think a drug that can prevent a ghoul from going feral but is very expensive and only avaliable and known in a certain area is a neat concept that fits right in with the worldbuilding (if only Oswald The Outrageous could know about this...).

However, I'm here to talk about the one lore aspect of the show I find somewhat problematic: the gulper. In their debut in Far Harbor and in 76 after that, gulpers were simply mutated salamanders that had evolved to be massive bipedal apex predators, filling an ecological niche on the island of Far Harbor left open by the lack of deathclaws and serving as competition to them in the swampy areas of 76's Appalachia. Cool beans, cool monster, all's good.

Then in the show there's a "gulper" that's the result of human genetic experimentation. Is this an inconsistency?

There are a few ways I can interpret this:

- Californian gulpers are a different species from East Coast gulpers, and are called by the same name due to their similarities.

- The "rad-resistant species" Vault 4 was crossbreeding humans with were gulpers (scrap of evidence: the pregnant woman in the video Lucy finds seemingly birthing tadpoles, which are the larval form of salamanders. Also the "slow digestion" that leads to a stomach full of random objects and animal parts, like how the gulpers are always full of random items in the games)

- Human originating gulpers and "natural" gulpers live side by side in Cali and are regarded as one species

- This is a retcon, and all gulpers are now the result of human experimentation (don't believe this one tbh)

Thoughts?

Can I ask you to draw cute baby gulper please? (Far harbor edition, not tv series) Thank you!

Here’s a baby glowing gulper 💚

“The gulpers in Fallout 76 are downright cute. They honk! They warble! I feel like they're not trying to attack me (though they are), they just want to play! I feel so bad every time I have to fight and kill them for any reason :( “

The Fallout TV Shows Gulper Is Terrifying

I just watched episode 3 of the Fallout TV show and this thing is just. . . . WHYYYY!?!

In Case You didn't notice IT'S MOUTH IS FILLED WITH HUMAN FINGERS!!!!!! (here's a different picture 😊)

Anyway Just wanted to say how much this both deeply upsets and intrigues me.

I mean why does it have fingers in it's mouth? Since when were there gulpers on the West Coast? Why is it an axolotl? Why in God's name is its mouth full of fingers?!?? I thought gulpers only existed because of Far Harbor's fog, is that not the case?

[fallout-mountains]

I made a painting of a Gulper.

[halfberry]

Just finished episode 3 of the Fallout show and I'm convinced that the Gulper was an escaped/abandoned FEV experiment and not a true Gulper like seen in Far Harbour.

It sure did look badass though, the fingers for teeth was delightfully macabre and creepy.

Hydromancerx's Krakow Rocky diorama features Mountain Dweller, Stickyballs, Poison Sagworm, Saggulper, Carnofern, Bubble Arch, and small purple flora (likely Berry Puffplant, Purple Poison Shrub, and/or Purpplage)!
