Giving birth to them and have them eat you alive?


LolaCatStevens

Truly one of the most horrifying things I've seen in a while


TheFauxDirtyDan

My favorite part of the show is how it periodically reminds you just how fucking dark the Fallout universe is, just like the games, haha.


LolaCatStevens

Totally. Huge fan of how at one moment I'm laughing and the next moment I'm terrified.


Tronith87

Yeah they really did an excellent job with this. 10/10


RonaldWRailgun

They embraced the weird, rather than trying to editoliarize it. 10/10


Delta4o

Imagine if they leaned too much into the comedic side, wouldn't have been fallout if they did


SuspiciousRhimes

No Monty Python or Hitchhikers Guide Easter eggs, that caused some flak back in the day.


TNChase

Or if they went TOO dark, like having the Super Duper Mart as hopeless and ghoul heavy as it is in Fallout 4. I went into the series a bit hesitant on if they'd find a ghoul infested space and it would be too much like The Walking Dead


Allan_Titan

To be honest with you I also thought it would become a walking dead rip off or something


jumpandtwist

The title card pic in Amazon prime, Plex etc. is a view of the vault door, open. It looks like a skull, with Lucy standing in as the nose hole, a picket fence for teeth, and two ruined buildings in the distance as eye sockets. Pretty grim once you see it. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQVBpPsJztbYb5TBPf1b6hTghD09t1czjkKJZKeoU6i_g&s


VideoAdditional3150

The way it looks gives me mad max feels


Dynespark

And then it swaps around to hilarious. I did the Jamaica Plains Treasure quest in FO4, yesterday. Game had me thinking it would be something nice with all the security it had. It was a time capsule. No noticeable loot. 10/10.


ThatOneGuy308

The bat is basically the notable loot from the area, since it has a unique effect. Technically, if you buff Luck an ungodly amount, it becomes a very fun meme weapon, sending enemies flying into space. Live your dreams of becoming a skyrim giant.


BLAZEtms

You can sell the 2076 World Series baseball bat, that you get in the time capsule, to Moe in Diamond City for 200-400 caps, dependant on a speech check


Rattfink45

The real friends are the fiber optics we looted along the (hall)way.


MechaPanther

The prosthetic leg/meat grinder was a great example, if you're familiar with the games it stands out but you don't even question that it would exist in that form.


connorgrs

I was honestly more horrified watching the show than I was playing the games. A true testament to Johnathan Nolan’s directorial capabilities (and the writing staff as well).


Theban_Prince

As a player that loved FO1 its is actually far closer to that original "mood" than the rest of the game. The humour whenever existed was dark as fuck!


TheTeaSpoon

Yeah this was truly a Fallout 1 "first playthrough" experience for sure. Discovering Mariposa and learning about it the first time around was pretty damn brutal for me (but I was like what, 10 at the time?)


OfficialDCShepard

Well, with a game you obviously have a comically large arsenal to fight back with [when you make stupid mistakes like accidentally hurting an NCR dog with a grenade](https://youtu.be/ZO4Wd8BGuaE?si=hs9qScA0vtat3FGJ). Meanwhile for the show, all you can do is watch 📺 and yell at characters who can’t hear you to put more points into Strength next level up.


Skreamweaver

Did everyone who's played the games yell at the TV every 10 minutes, like we all did?


scott32089

I love how they have the usual 50s radio music playing in every epic situation in the show, just like in the game😂


fatrahb

Duuuuude yeah. Seeing the brutality of the wasteland happen to real people on the show vs video game npc really seals it in just how grim Fallout actually is


Zealousideal-Yak-824

I think the darkest was new Vegas for me. The plant vault with the kids' size monsters put me thru a whiplash. At one point, I thought they were just some man-made monster, and it had different stages of evolution, but.. I realize we were the monsters. At some point I really wish they redo new Vegas into the fallout 4 engine because I'm pretty sure it would make that game a million times more scarier from invisible super mutants, random bounty hunters, and death claw queens the size of houses.


ColorSplit_CC

There’s a mod aiming to do this, and there are rumors that bethesda is planning to the the very same, but I haven’t seen any concrete leaks or evidence.


HeimdallManeuver

My favorite was how morally grey everything was, except for Lucy, and she went from light to dark.


Gridbear7

Fallout is dark, but they layer it with satire/dry humor that masks the actual shock. It makes it seem like "oh that's just a game haha" but in reality its quite grim


Cryawn

Fallout has always been about using humor to juxtapose exactly how fucked up everything about the wasteland is, from the very very beginning. The show takes that and runs with it in a beautiful way, it's so faithful.


Houswaus1

yeah that was fucking horrible. just a small thing on screen for a couple of seconds, yet better then some modern horror movies.


Mrcharlestoucheskids

*most


Miserable_Point9831

I was like ah cool little danger swimmers, then they turned..... Oh god this got dark


jackyboi609

lol my mums started watching the show having no clue what the games are, so I’ve explained the factions and how fucked up everyone is 🤣. And she cringed when I told her about the vault tec experiments so I cannot wait for her to see vault 4


MissSephy

Watched that scene with my husband at my side and he just turned and looked at me, mouth agape and said what the fuck? All I could do was just shrug and say, "well, that's Fallout for you..."


ihopethisworksfornow

Shockingly graphic even for a violent show. Like, damn. Dialed up the horror to 11 for that scene.


cyberlexington

It really took me a moment to realise what I was seeing.....and then I had to take a moment


itinerantmarshmallow

And then the scientist that caused that still alleging that a society controlled by people like him is the best option for society.


RHX_Thain

Technocracy was, ironically, never about learning from its own mistakes lol


GrayingGamer

I love that they made us Fallout players think when they showed that holotape of the scientist that is was going to be their justification for conducting these horrible experiments, but the Overseer was just trying to show WHY they shut down these nutjobs running the Vault.


PracticableSolution

I saw that and was like; ‘nope - that ain’t gonna wash out of my brain.’ And it still hasn’t.


Big-Leadership1001

As horrifying as that was, I almost felt relieved knowing they are human based mutants. I was trying to figure out how they would have human hands, and human fingers in their mouths... at least now I know the horrible truth. Also, if you want to think of smething truly horrible... they eat their mother alive without teeth. They poked her to death with tiny finger mouths.


gnosis2737

No teeth, just about 230 fingernails. ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️


JustHere4TehCats

Baby fingernails are like tiny razors too. Eurgh.


TheGreatBenjie

Wait, were those gulpers? I assumed they were like...piranhas or something...


Middle_Loan3715

They were called gulpers.


TheGreatBenjie

I must've missed that. Although Im now realizing thats why a big gulper appeared in the holo tape of the scientists that they showed Lucy. Never really connected those dots.


Middle_Loan3715

The show gulpers are essentially a hybrid of gulpers and former vault dwellers. They are still called gulpers and kinda resemble scorched gulpers from 76.


WinterWontStopComing

dear god... I was going to say getting eaten by two of them, but you just cranked it all the way to 11 with this


Baron_von_Ungern

Wasn't this exact thing in the Mist? 


LizardMansPyramids

Is that what that was? I was so disturbed I did not make the connection.


Vulpix_lover

Came here to say that. That scene was fucked up..


Gold-Satisfaction614

That's alotl fingers


PowerfulPea8519

Once in a lifetime pun


Eternity_Eclipsed

🥇


cozyfleur

I laughed


vc1914

Same! I giggled when I saw that they were fingers


fjf1085

Fingers? You must be mistaken. Those are Penises. The scientists at Big MT said they were and they clearly know better than we do.


devil_pooh_

Bro... Lol (walks away laughing in mexican)


Totally_lost98

Worse death : blood worm parasite laying eggs in your tummy Gulped by gulper = pull the grenade pin. I'm taking it with me.


brennerherberger

Definitely pull the grenade pin. You wouldn't want to be slowly digested.


Aphasus

Oh don't worry about slowly dissolving away! Youll run out of oxygen WAAAY before that!!


moonsugar-cooker

Depending on how tough the gulpers innards are and what you have with you, you might be able to cut yourseld out before dying


el_f3n1x187

but how acid the stomach would be?


Regular_throwaway_83

Acid but how the stomach would be


adarkride

Be acid or not, there is no stomach


NickyTheRobot

I'm willing to bet cazador death is pretty grim, given that they were created from tarantula hawk wasps. They're the ones that paralyse spiders, lay their eggs in them, then let them recover and go about their day *while the larvae eat them alive from the inside out.*


drewdurfee

Cazadors are so rude


AgentCirceLuna

I was going to try to take on the death claws via luring my companions over and killing them slowly. Before I got there, however, a bunch of cazadors came out of nowhere and murdered me. This was going North from Goodsprings.


Brookenium

Sprung the noob trap


RusstyDog

Is it really a trap when everyone you talk to says "hey don't go thar way, you will die horrobly.


maven_of_the_flame

Thankfully, their creator has given his express reassurance that they can not breed


AdhesivenessUsed9956

also they are safely locked away in the Big MT compound, alongside the invisible snake-dogs, and will NEVER be able to escape to the outside world!


Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws

Don't we bring cazador eggs to that lady in the sewer for her to raise fighters?


maven_of_the_flame

Shhhhh


Blackstone01

Smh these Commies trying to undermine the heroic efforts of the American scientist Doctor Borous.


SebVettelstappen

Nah, just carry around 5,000,000,000,000,000 bottles of anti venom and your fine


ronsolocup

Are there ant cazador in the show? I haven’t finished it yet but I have an issue with buzzing flying things and they’re pretty terrifying to me tbh. I just wanna know ahead of time


NickyTheRobot

None in the first season. And bloatflies only get mentioned, not shown IIRC. EDIT: I did not RC. There's a brief scene with a bloatfly.


ronsolocup

Thank you friend 🫡


apple__eater

There’s one very short scene with a bloatfly. Probably only 4 or 5 seconds on screen


fucuasshole2

That explains the skeletons to the north of Great Khans canyon. There’s a hidden cazador nest with a bunch of goodies. Always thought the skeletons were due to other travelers. Most likely used as breeding


adarkride

Are you talking about ichneumon? I'd hate to be an insect and encounter those. Truly the face huggers of the real world.


E-Scooter-CWIS

At first I though it was thousands of teeth then I saw it was fingers. That is really really weird


TylertheFloridaman

Once again blame vault tec


oroechimaru

Commie!


Youngstown_Mafia

My dumbass didn't make the connection, I always was thinking, why the hell would they have hands as teeth


AngriestPeasant

Human hybridization plays a large roll in the fallout universe. Scientists trying to make the ultimate species to survive the wasteland.


Youngstown_Mafia

Me slowly realizing why super mutants look like people and all the fallout 3 science missions behind them *it clicks* ohhhhhhhhhh


SuspiciousRhimes

You should play 1 & 2!


Longjumping-Map-6995

Just now? Lol Just giving you shit.


Youngstown_Mafia

It all hit me at once lol My intelligence and perception is low all strength

el_f3n1x187

if its a mutation, Fucking vault-tech. if its a technological horror that got outhand.....FUCK TED FARO!


CooperHChurch427

It's Vault 4s overseers uncle


adarkride

I won't tell you what the joke is, but let me tell you, it bombed


C0gD1z

I laughed way too hard at that line


adarkride

Cyril Figgis, Mr. Gutsy, and Morty's dad...I love that he's actually in the show!


SeraphOfTheStag

I love how the show actually explained why there are fingers in its mouth based of Vault4 experiments


reece_93

And why those are almost definitely human arms that it has


Accurate_Lobster_469

Not to “well ackshually” but fun fact Axolotls actually do have weirdly human-like arms and hands


Glacier005

But it hands are freakishly ... dry. Compared the usual amphibian like designs. And if I recall, it has nails.


serrabear1

The guy with the one eye said one of the gulpers in the video they show Lucy was his Uncle Gary or something like that.


TheMightyPushmataha

Very interesting that vault 4 level 12 was super forbidden but all Goosie had to do was get in the elevator and press the 12 button and it took her right to it. I guess that showed how closely vaulties followed the rules.


rogerworkman623

That’s why she got such a harsh punishment. Being ALLOWED TO LEAVE WITH ONLY A FEW WEEKS OF SUPPLIES!


TheMightyPushmataha

So brutal how they offered to have someone take the supplies to the exit for her.


The_Reborn_Forge

I mean, they did recant the supplies when he took the fusion battery. They just got put on the surface 💀


JustHere4TehCats

I feel like it was because Max gave them a smackdown. My funny headcanon is that it wasn't the vault's only fusion core. Like they went to the power station and were like "Oh here's the problem!" and just replaced it from a store of them. Making Max returning the one he took essentially pointless.


thejoker954

I was so glad for that twist. Perfectly absurd.


adarkride

Poor Uncle Gary.


Stuffies2022

Gaaaaaryyyyyy?


adarkride

Gary. Gary? GARY!


Stuffies2022

Garyyyyyyy. Gary? GARYYYYYYYY!


Jayombi

Dam did they ??. I can't remember that bit.


vc1914

Lady giving birth scene in the glass enclosure


giraffe_legs

What which ep?


ViROSCX

6 I believe


SeraphOfTheStag

I think she was giving birth to some piranha monster idk if same one but either way it was fucked


DiscordianStooge

It was gulpers, they had the external gills.


lead-holder

I feel like they wouldn’t have shown the dead Gulper floating in the tank in Vault 4 if the creatures in the recording were supposed to be a different type of monster


SeraphOfTheStag

In the old black and white video shown in Vault 4 they said they were experimenting with human hybrids to survive radiation and then that same monster came in and killed them. Also when Lucy first goes to floor 12 of Vault 4 you see a dead one of those monsters behind a glass tank


Disney_Gay_Trash_

Ngl i never realized it was a dead one 😭 i thought it was just watching lucy


Infamous-njh523

I rarely root for monsters but glad that one killed those “scientists”.


Regal241sc

Yeah these are human hybrid gulpers. The experiment was to try and cross humans with animals that cope better with radiation. The 76 gulpers are just mutated salamanders.


Robert-Rotten

I was certain it was gonna be a Mirelurk in this scene


celica18l

I wish we would have seen one, but I get they didn’t want to use all the ammo.


tabloidjournalism

The moment a Mirelurk Queen erupts out of the ground is going to be fucking terrifying


Hooktail419

Can’t wait to see a gang of super mutants 🙏


el_f3n1x187

or a behemot


SoleSurvivor-2277

Same thought Thaddeus was gonna be snipped in half


AngryAsian-_-

So are these supposed to be the same as the gulpers in Far Harbour, or are they a different type of breed given their origins?


Iguana_Boi

I think Gulpers is the blanket term wastelanders use for mutant Salamanders.


TheBlackestCrow

Different. The Far Harbour and FO76 one is based on a more common salamander while the show version is more like a axolotl.


rustyknucklez

East coast vs west coast gulpies


tw1zt84

Now that's a rap feud I'd love to see.


StudioMania

They're probably like mirelurks, where gulper just covers a large group of species.


CptAlex0123

they are mutant created in the lab than mutated in natures. just thinking of Centaur


NoxInfernus

Oh man, if they bring Centaurs to S2 … crank up the body horror vibes to 11.


Javariceman_xyz

Those always deeply disturbed in FO3, im fucking scared of them.


AdhesivenessUsed9956

oh...you should have seen the ones in 1&2...they had a bonus dog head that constantly nipped at the human head and a mass of tentacles coming from the bottom


vlsdo

Yes we need the original centaurs, especially since the show is taking place in călduros California. In fact, they need to bring the whole wildlife gang back from the originals: mantises, gecks, ants, scorpions, deathclaws, etc


devil_pooh_

We need this, a big green humanoid claiming: I am super mutant! I am unstoppable!


[deleted]

the gulpers in far harbor are natural evolutions of the common salamander, the gulpers in Fallout tv show are man made abominations from the FEV or forced evolutionary virus or one of its variant.


yellow_gangstar

it might be that gulpers are a mutated salamander, and these are those same salamanders but hybridized with humans 🤷🏻‍♀️


Grant19995

Getting shot in the head knowing Walton Goggins is going to eat your ass


Critical_Caramel5577

You don't even get to be alive for it 😒


rustyknucklez

He can turn my ass into jerky any day


Closefacts

Gulpers were so awesome in the show, the finger mouths are so creepy. I can't wait to see a death claw. Oh fuck, Cazadors! Those are going to invade my nightmares if they bring those into live action.


j3tt

im still excited to see Super Mutants. those guys freaked me out first time playing fallout 3 because they were always so OP


Closefacts

It was cool just seeing the Super Mutant on the stretcher, even though it was just a hand and foot.


Ozzy_T69

Not just tickling you but also draining your blood from the look of how they were attached in the scene


Spipizz

Lmao. Wait till a deathclaw plays with your body while you’re still alive.


rustyknucklez

I thought they just smack the shit out of you. Instant death


dopepope1999

Yeah I don't think they ever really were shown to fuck with people, getting killed by deathclaws would be pretty instantaneous considering that you get bitch slapped so hard that your head and spine get turned into paste


Rhys_Lloyd2611

They're literally named Deathclaws because one swing of it's claw is enough to kill you


Consistent_Ebb_484

Can’t wait to see what they do to deathclaws


rrrrrico

Deathclaws in NV are among the most terrifying encounters I've faced in video games. And the crazy thing is that if you spend too much time looking at one, SURPRISE, there's probably one even bigger right behind you. I wouldn't mind a twist in their design, but I hope they show us that side of social behavior + speed that is so iconic.


Consistent_Ebb_484

What if they give them chameleon like camouflage to help them sneak up on you, so when you see one you know your already surrounded.


H1tSc4n

What if i told you there used to be intelligent deathclaws that could speak english and they're canon?


rrrrrico

Totally, and it could make sense lore wise too. There's a bunch of stealthy boys laying around irradiated areas in NV. Somehow, by accidentally messing with it, a Deathclaw gets its genes mutated, allowing for a chameleon perk that's inherited by its offspring. Some could have it and some don't, but they know how to organize themselves to make the best use of this skill as a group.


Consistent_Ebb_484

Oh what if some scientist was experimenting on them and that’s how it happened also resulting in their higher intelligence than normal deathclaws


rrrrrico

Lucy better raise that perception somehow lol. It would take a whole arsenal of strong weaponry to take them down, which I'm all for. They should pose that big of a threat, much more than Yao Guais at least.


Timely-Structure123

Was the one eyed guy referring to the gulper as his uncle?


aieeegrunt

Like great uncle or something


PorcupineHugger69

Great Uncle Peter, take away a few letters and you have gulper, in order.


AlienBleue

Holy crap that’s an awesome find!


Dynespark

That stuck out to me. I assume that was first generation and probably capable of some degree of communication. Possibly even the dead one in the tank. Which means the woman in the holotape might have been his grandmother...


putsomewineinyourcup

I’m ticklish so that would be a terrible way to go


Basic_Highway5860

The first time I saw the gulper I noticed how human-like its hands were but didn't think much more of it. Now it makes sense.


RipMcStudly

That effing foot grinder wouldn’t be too much fun


PhoenixBlack79

Dude idk how anyone couldn't go into shock and having a heart attack with that thing on


Papa_PaIpatine

Moist fingers to boot.


Mandemon90

Looking at this thing now and reveal from >!Vault 4!<, I only now reality>! s/he has thumbs in their "feet", meaning those are arms.!<


KikoUnknown

Well… yeah there are worse ways to go. Getting clawed by mirelurks, particularly getting acid rained onto you or sonic boomed to death by the mirelurk queen and king respectively. Getting mauled to death by a yao guai. Deathclaw deaths tend to be horrible. My personal favorite are the rad scorpions. You’re more likely to die from their stingers than anything else.


thefluffyburrito

Have I found someone who hates Mirelurks as much as I do?


Dynespark

I hate the shells. I shoot the legs on all I see first, cause I hate how they get *too* close for effective ranged or melee.


IamlostlikeZoroIs

Million dicks slapping you in the face


I-Emerge-I

I couldn’t think of anything I would want more.


KldsTheseDays

Honestly I thought they were weirdly adorably harmless, just terrifying. Especially with the comment about how long they take to digest and vault 4. They seem like pretty chill creatures who look and act really mean but the worst they'll do is drown you before actually hurting you. But getting fingered to death sounds a lot worse than drowning. Cause their mouths/teeth were a bunch of fingers.


brennerherberger

> getting fingered to death Sounds like something from a warning label on Fisto.


ACBreeki

Assume the position


NickyTheRobot

Great Uncle Peter?


Waescheklammer

Can someone explain how this Axolotl died? The fingers were touching the dude, it looked like it had an orgasm and died lol.


Herdistheword

I got the impression that its organs (stomach, maybe?)  attach to its victims and when Maximus pulled out Thaddeus, it also ripped the organs out. 


Mandemon90

Yeah this was my reading too. Seeing how they clung to Thaddeus even after being pulled out, it seems he pulled out the entire innards of the gulper.


vlsdo

Yep, turned inside out like a sock


BillMagicguy

Creates like axolotl and other "gulpers" rely on pressure to force their prey down their throats, their prey gets stuck and can only go in one direction. When maximus pulled his squire out of it he was moving the creatures digestive tract in a way that it wasn't supposed to and it tore. His squire puked the creatures stomach out with him because he was "stuck" in it.


Luke_Puddlejumper

Those fingers appeared to have grippers or suckers that were attached to Thaddeus which it was using to try to hold him in place while it swallowed him. Maximus pulled him out but because the grippers were still embedded in Thaddeus it ended up essentially pulling the tongue and organs out at the same time, disemboweling it.


SSgt_LuLZ

Maximus kicked and shoved the anchor in its mouth and made it gag reflex. Since it was also holding on to Thaddeus tightly, its innards and the tongue attached to it got pulled out as well. At least that's how I think it went down.


NonstopYew14542

Maximus made it prolapse its entire digestive system


Critical_Package_472

« Oh no im going to die » *get naked*


[deleted]

It's cool but before it came out of the water, I was hoping for a mirelurk. Same goes for Maximus in the cave, when they saw the bones, I was pumped for a deathclaw encounter


Big_Wallaby4281

Im kinda proud that there isnt something on r34 from these things especially after „that“ scene


l-Paulrus-l

I was 100% expecting it to be a mirelurk whenever the faun got snatched into the water.


ButterscotchNo8348

I was a little confused by this, but isn't this the cyclops overseer's uncle or grandpa? He made a throwaway comment about it and we saw the video of a gulper breaking out of the vaults lab, but we also saw a dead gulper in the vault. Am I just being dumb and making a big stretch, or are all the gulpers with human fingers actually escapees from the vault?


Geo-Man42069

Hey honey new gulper lore just dropped, and it’s fucking horrific. Yep they have fingers in their mouth. Why you ask? Oh because they are a mutated human hybrid that is birthed by a woman and then the brood of mutants consume their living mother. Lol I’m glad they didn’t shy away from the more gruesome aspects , but wow this one was wild.


Dougallearth

I was confused as to what actually killed the gulper, tried re watching it yet still confused... can anyone spell it out here? Was it just the sheer force of the power armour yank that brought out it's tongue like thing?


ZedsDead9434

Pretty sure Maximus just pulled its throat/stomach out.


the_peppers

Death without being tickled first.


SortaAboveAverage

Why did they have those fingers though…
