Radroaches are large radiated creatures found around Los Angeles in the Fallout TV series.

Background[]

Commonly joked before the Great War as the only candidates for surviving a nuclear blast, cockroaches survived and improved in the wake of the nuclear war.[1]

Characteristics[]

They appear as an enlarged version of the pre-War American cockroach. They became enlarged, with a bigger thorax to ward off attack, extended antennae to hunt in packs, and reinforced incisors to take down and ingest larger prey, up to and including humans. Radroaches are found mainly in underground areas and sewers across North America. They feed on the dead but will go after living creatures if isolated. Their numbers are their biggest advantage.

Appearances[]

Radroaches appear in the Fallout TV series episodes "The Target" and "The Past."

  1. Siggi Wilzig: "Before the war, people joked about cockroaches surviving a nuclear blast. But they didn't merely survive. They improved. Enlarged thorax to ward off attack. Extended antennae are used in hunting in packs. Incisors to help ingest larger prey. Such as yourself. You should know better than to light a fire after dark."
