"We've already seen a full season of Amazon Prime Video's hit series, and while so much of the post-apocalyptic video game is accurately depicted without directly adapting, there's one element that hasn't popped up yet: deathclaws, the ultra-powerful monsters that appear over and over in Fallout games, much to players' chagrin. Not much is known about these mutated lizard monsters, but Fallout Season 2 finally revealed a key part of their backstories - and it goes back even further than fans first thought."
"Amazon Prime Video Fallout Season 2 Episode 4 shows a flashback to the Alaskan warfront, back in the Battle of Anchorage that spanned the years before the nuclear apocalypse. Cooper Howard is shown wearing faulty power armor, but his commanding officer refuses to let him retreat. He finds himself face to face with an enemy - a Chinese soldier - but just before she's about to strike, there's a monstrous attack from behind. Lo and behold, there's a deathclaw."
Season 2 of Fallout shows a flashback to the Battle of Anchorage in Alaska before the nuclear apocalypse. Cooper Howard wears faulty power armor and is ordered to hold position despite risks. A deathclaw unexpectedly attacks during the battle, introducing the creatures before the bombs fell. Fallout 2's official strategy guide reveals deathclaws were created by the U.S. as engineered combat organisms and cheap replacements for human soldiers, partly derived from Jackson's chameleons. Centuries later, a deathclaw egg appears in New Vegas and provokes a deeply personal reaction from Cooper, whose history with deathclaws dates back to his wartime experience.
